Precision Measurement Systems for the Automotive and Supplier Industry
The automotive industry faces increasing pressure from rising raw material costs, global competition, and the urgent need for more efficient, resource-conscious manufacturing.
At Blum-Novotest, we support OEMs and suppliers in transforming these challenges into opportunities with advanced, machine-integrated metrology systems. Our solutions are built for the Smart Factory—enabling real-time data analysis, predictive maintenance, and closed-loop production for maximum process efficiency.
By integrating precise measurement technology directly into your machining centers, BLUM empowers you to automate quality control, minimise downtime, and reduce manual inspection.
Key Applications for Automotive
Our systems support self-optimising production environments and ensure consistent quality in mass production—all while adapting to evolving customer demands through Industry 4.0 and IoT-enabled processes.
Key Applications for Automotive Manufacturing:
-
Automated tool and workpiece inspection in high-volume production
-
Closed-loop control for consistent machining quality
-
Real-time feedback and process optimisation through IoT integration
-
Reduced downtime with predictive maintenance strategies
-
Efficient resource use in smart factory environments
-
Support for unmanned “ghost shifts” through full automation
Case Study
Cams for motor and commercial vehicles
20 million probes through simultaneous measurement with TC76 at Strama-MPS
- In-process measuring technology of two cams (simultaneously) in around two seconds with a measuring speed of 3 m/min
- Short cycle time and high output due to rotary indexing design
- No weakness in long-term operation despite the high measuring speeds of 3 m/min
- 100% stable process with 100% good parts
