1 min read

A measurement specialist is celebrating after enjoying its best ever appearance at Southern Manufacturing and Electronics.

Blum-Novotest, which works across the automotive, aerospace, medical and machine tool sectors, took 12 strong enquiries at its stand after impressing visitors with its new DIGILOG Touch Probe Systems.

Managing director David Mold said that the firm witnessed a big turning point at the show, with potential customers exploring how they could validate parts whilst still on the machine.

He explained: “This is exactly what our technology gives them and ensures that every part they machine is a good part. In the past, we’ve had to convince visitors of the benefits of on-machine verification. That is no longer the case and this is helping us plan for our record year…in fact, with what we’ve got in the pipeline I’m pretty certain we’ll secure 20% growth in 2018.

“The 12 leads we took at the show were all enquiries from companies with a real application and interest in how our technology can improve the way they manufacture. It summed up what was an excellent show and one that captured the current positivity surrounding UK industry.”

In addition to rolling out DIGILOG range of products, the company will also be giving its new LC-50 laser control system its UK debut at MACH in April on Stand H18-420.
