Precision Measurement Systems for High-Volume Series Production
In high-volume series production, maintaining consistent quality while pushing for maximum efficiency is critical. Tool wear, precision, and automation challenges place constant pressure on manufacturers to stay competitive.
At Blum-Novotest, we deliver intelligent metrology solutions specifically designed to meet the demands of large batch manufacturing. Our machine-integrated measurement systems enable in-process, automated tool and workpiece inspection—eliminating the need for manual intervention and allowing for real-time process control directly in the machine.
Whether you’re optimising tool life, increasing output, or reducing cycle time, our advanced systems drive smarter, more reliable production—right from the first cut to the final inspection.
Key Applications for Series Production
By enabling closed-loop manufacturing processes and statistical process control, Blum technology transforms conventional machining into autonomous, highly productive workflows.
-
In-process tool measurement and wear detection
-
Automated workpiece inspection for large batch production
-
Closed-loop manufacturing for precision and consistency
-
Statistical process control for ongoing optimisation
-
Elimination of manual measuring and reworking steps
-
Enhanced productivity through full process automation
Case Study
Gearing of drive shafts for large presses
Schuler Pressen: Scanning touch probe TC64-DIGILOG in the turn-mill centre
- Production of gears with profile cutters in the turning-milling machining centre instead of special gear cutting machines
- Recognised machining errors in the original set-up, workpieces are reworked immediately and rejects are reduced (closed loop)
- Automated gear measurement in just 13 minutes, eliminating the need for external measurement on a special measuring machine
- Fully reliable production processes, enormously reduced delivery times
