Precision Measurement Systems for Medical Technology Manufacturing
Medical technology demands the highest level of precision. From implants to surgical tools, manufacturers must meet complex geometries and micron-level tolerances—often using expensive, hard-to-machine materials like titanium and Inconel.
At Blum-Novotest, we provide machine-integrated metrology systems that allow for precise, real-time measurement directly in the original set-up. This eliminates the need for separate measuring room inspections, reduces costly rework, and ensures consistent quality with every part.
Our advanced touch probe systems are built to meet the growing need for automation in medical manufacturing. By capturing detailed measurement data inside the machining environment, BLUM solutions enable closed-loop feedback, support autonomous production, and guarantee exceptional repeatability.
Key Applications for Medical Technology
Whether you’re producing small batches or running large-scale production, our systems help you meet the industry’s strict quality and efficiency standards—without compromise.
Key Applications for Medical Technology:
-
In-machine measurement of implants and surgical instruments
-
Elimination of re-clamping errors through original set-up inspection
-
Maximum repeat accuracy for micro-tolerance components
-
Scanning and roughness measurement of complex geometries
-
Optimised use of expensive materials like titanium and stainless steel
-
Real-time process feedback and automatic in-machine corrections
-
Support for autonomous, lights-out production

Measuring system in unmanned production at Stryker Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG
- Control measurement before machining starts prevents breakage of expensive special tools
- Shortens measuring processes by 50-70% thanks to surprising probing speed of 2 m/min
- Laser measuring system monitors and measures the cutting edges of end mills and T-slot cutters, drills or gear cutting tools from 0.5 mm ball nose end mills to 63 mm saw blades
- Almost always 100% good parts from the first part
