User-friendly measurement and visualisation software for DIGILOG laser measuring systems from BLUM. The application can be used to quickly and easily generate, visualise and evaluate a wide range of measurement tasks in CNC machining centres. The field of application is not only limited to the topic of tool measurement, but also includes a reliable assessment of the motor spindle quality.
LC-VISION – More than just visualisation
- Standard Functions
- ToolControl
- Optional Technology Cycles
Even the basic functions of LC VISION offer real added value, as current measurement processes, important system information and data for preventive maintenance can be called up quickly and easily on the control screen. Special technology cycles can also be easily enabled.
ToolControl is an intuitive software interface for the generation of measurement sequences and documentation of measured values. The software is included in the basic version of LC-VISION.
- Intuitive generation of jobs for many tool types and measuring tasks
– Initial measurement
– Wear measurement
– Control measurements - A user interface for all common machine controls
- Step by step to the measurement sequence even without NC programming knowledge
- Automatic access to the data defined in the tool table
- Definition of global jobs for each tool type
- Visualisation of the measurement processes of tool length and radius including the tool-specific wear limits
- Wear evaluation: Comparison between initial measurement and current measurement
- Graphical display of the measured values of individual cutting edges
- Data export of measured values for processing in tool management systems
In addition to the standard functions, the technology cycles "ToolControl Advanced", "SpindleControl" and "OscillationControl" are currently available. These options are next-generation high-tech features.
ToolControl Advanced gives you a comprehensive picture of the current condition of your new and used tools and thus increases the precision and productivity of your manufacturing processes.
- Easy creation of measuring sequences (jobs) also for an extended range of tools such as end mills, torus cutters, ball cutters, cutter heads or circular segment cutters
- DIGILOG measurement of complex tool geometries
- Evaluation of the entire tool geometry for automatic correction of the tool table
- Visualisation of measurement process and tool-specific wear limits on the control screen
- Evaluation and compensation of shape deviations
- Statistical evaluation of tool wear
- Covers functions of image-processing functions
- Stability Function
PSC gives you a comprehensive picture of the current condition of the machine spindle. The following functions are available for assessing the spindle quality:
- Run-out analysis
Speed-dependent visualisation of the radial and axial run-out behaviour - Stability analysis
Inspection of the thermal change behaviour of the spindle - Vibration analysis*
Vibration measurement and analysis at different speeds
Evaluation of the spindle bearing condition through FFT analysis - Spindle parameter analysis*
Evaluation of the typical spindle parameters (LTSH, STSH, run-out, peak to peak) based on ISO/TR 17243
* Assessment of the probability of failure and the degree of spindle wear possible (expert knowledge required)
Our product range of motor spindle in machine tools
In addition to the PSC system, Blum-Novotest offers other solutions for documenting the condition of motor spindles throughout their life cycle: The portfolio ranges from laboratory test stands for spindle development and end-of-line test stands for spindle production to machine-integrated solutions in the form of our LC50-DIGILOG laser measuring systems.
