Tool-setting and tool-breakage detection

The TC64-20 from Blum-Novotest Ltd, Lichfield (www.blum-novotest.com), is a new probe that features BRC radio technology and is designed for tool-setting and tool-breakage detection in three axes.

It offers extremely fast and robust data transmission; instead of the channel-hopping method or channel assignment commonly used, this probe transmits the collected data to the receiver using Blum’s BRC technology.

This is based on each single bit of the radio signal running across the entire width of the frequency band, thus making transmission particularly resistant to interference.
