1 min read

East Staffordshire measurement specialist Blum-Novotest has seen sales pass the £500,000 mark for the first time since the UK subsidiary was launched in 2000.

The target this year is for another 20% growth, with the company set to build on the early success of its DIGILOG touch probe systems by officially launching LC50 – its latest laser control technology.

The firm says that this new innovation will deliver up to a 60% reduction in the time taken to check and measure parts within a CNC machine.

Explains MD David Mold: “2017 was a fantastic year for our UK business and we want to build on this by sending out a strong message at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics next week (Stand E230).

“We are finding that a lot of our customers are increasingly looking to source measurement solutions that are quick, can perform on complex components and, importantly, can be fitted to the inside of a machine tool for real time data and the best possible accuracy.”

He continues: “This is exactly what we do with our range of products that start from a simple tool setting probe and go right through to workpiece probes, roughness and bore gauges and the new DIGILOG touch probes that are proving extremely popular.

“At Southern Manufacturing, we’ll have all of this latest technology on display, whilst a number of our technical experts will be on hand to discuss bespoke requirements and any manufacturing challenges you may have.”
