Precision Measurement Systems for Safety-Critical Aerospace Components
In the aerospace industry, where safety, reliability, and performance are non-negotiable, Blum-Novotest delivers advanced metrology solutions designed to meet the sector’s most rigorous demands.
Aerospace manufacturing involves difficult-to-machine materials like Inconel and titanium, oversized components, and ultra-precise tolerances—all under the highest safety standards.
Blum’s machine-integrated measurement systems, including cutting-edge roughness measurement solutions, allow for real-time, in-process inspection directly within the machining center. This dramatically enhances quality control while reducing cycle times and minimising human error.
Key Applications for Aerospace
With Blum-Novotest, aerospace manufacturers achieve higher process reliability, fewer rejects, and safe, cost-effective production—on over 100 machine tools and counting.
Key Applications:
-
Surface roughness inspection of landing gear components
-
High-speed contour and surface checks on turbine blisks
-
Process reliability for engine components via laser measurement
-
In-machine measurement for automated, unmanned production
