OGP UK has returned from MACH 2026 at the NEC Birmingham having delivered its strongest show performance to date, with the UK debut of the new M-Series generating a record level of enquiries and firmly establishing the next generation of multi-sensor metrology in the UK market.
The Right Technology at the Right Time
Stand 20-320 at MACH 2026 was built around a straightforward principle: every solution on display had to answer a challenge that manufacturers are facing today.
For OGP UK, that challenge is one the industry knows well. Manufacturers working with complex, multi-feature components need measurement platforms that deliver high accuracy without demanding lengthy setup, and that can adapt across a range of inspection tasks without requiring multiple systems. The M-Series was developed precisely to meet that need, and its reception at MACH confirmed the extent of the demand.
The M50: A New Standard in Multi-Sensor Metrology
Taking centre stage on the stand was the flagship M50 system, making its first appearance in the UK. Powered by the Intellicentric-M optical system, the M50 integrates optical, laser and touch probe measurement within a single platform, enabling manufacturers to measure more accurately across complex, multi-feature components while significantly reducing setup time on the shop floor.
The response from visitors across the five days was unambiguous. Engineers and quality managers from sectors including aerospace, automotive, medical and precision engineering engaged directly with the system, many looking to address the same core problem: the inefficiency and inconsistency of managing measurement across separate tools and platforms. The M50 resolves that directly.
Part of a Broader UK Debut
OGP UK attended MACH 2026 as part of Carfulan Group’s largest ever presence at the show, with all five of the Group’s divisions represented on Stand 20-320. The broader context mattered: visitors to the stand could see how OGP UK’s multi-sensor metrology capability sits alongside large-scale measurement, tool management, turned part inspection and additive manufacturing within a single, joined-up offering.
For manufacturers who have traditionally worked with multiple suppliers across these disciplines, that proposition carries significant weight. As Carfulan Group Managing Director Chris Fulton noted during the show: “Clients continually talk about the frustration of going to different suppliers for what they need and the lack of a joined-up approach. We can negate all of this by offering all types of solutions in one place.” The M50 is a cornerstone of that offering.
