On-machine 5-axis measurement breakthrough by Blum

"This new software is very important news for the growing numbers of users in the aerospace and die and mould sectors where there is a strong concentration of 5-axis machining centres," says Blum's Dipl.-Ing. Winfried Weiland. "Other manufacturing sectors where 5-axis machining predominate will also stand to benefit from this new software." Software FormControl 3.0 fast-machining control directly in the machining centre, eliminating the need for time-consuming resetting of the workpiece on a separate measuring machine. Re-work is done within the initial set-up, saving further time-consuming alignment of the workpiece and also increasing essential accuracy. See Product Launch section for detailed product information
