Expanded Training Center Nearly Doubles the Size of BLM Group’s Campus
BLM GROUP USA 宣布其扩建后的培训中心正式启用，这是其位于密歇根州 Novi 的北美总部整体扩建的关键部分。项目新增 65,000 平方英尺空间，使园区面积增至超过 140,000 平方英尺，接近翻倍。培训中心包含一个 17,000 平方英尺的机床培训区，以及额外 38,000 平方英尺的教室、行政和服务空间，其中设有面向 BLM GROUP 员工的技术实验室。机床培训区配备一台 LT6 管材激光机、两台 LT7 管材激光机、一台 LT8 管材激光机和两台 LS7 平板激光机，使每周最多可开设八期机床培训课程。软件培训空间从两间可容纳 24 人的教室扩展为四间可同时容纳 40 人的培训室，新教室配备阶梯式座椅和 86 英寸交互式触摸屏。培训中心现已开放，其余扩建工程预计于 2027 年初完成。
BLM GROUP USA announces the opening of its expanded Training Center, a key component of a broader expansion at the company’s North American headquarters in Novi, Michigan. The project adds 65,000 square feet of new space, nearly doubling the size of the campus to more than 140,000 square feet.
The expansion reflects the company’s commitment to customer success, giving customers and employees alike the space, equipment and hands-on support to build lasting expertise on their machines and with software and programming.
The Training Center includes a new 17,000-square-foot machine training bay and an additional 38,000 square feet of classroom, administrative and service space, including a technical lab for BLM GROUP employees.
“In today’s manufacturing environment, operator training is vital,” said Jim Crocker, manager of training, development and laser application at BLM GROUP USA. “The expanded Training Center lets us go deeper with more hands-on time on the machines along with innovative classroom space where our customers can build real skills in software and programming. And all of that training really is just the starting point of the support we provide customers throughout the life of their equipment.”
With nearly double the space previously dedicated to training, the Training Center provides greater flexibility to accommodate customer training and employee technical development.
The machine bay includes an LT6 tube laser, two LT7 tube lasers and an LT8 tube laser, along with two LS7 flat sheet lasers. The additional space and equipment significantly increase training capacity, allowing BLM GROUP to offer up to eight machine training classes per week.
The software training space also has grown substantially, from two rooms with capacity for 24 people to four training rooms with capacity for 40 people at a time. The new classrooms feature stadium-style seating for better sightlines and an 86-inch interactive touch-screen panel that the trainers can use in a variety of ways including projecting an individual student’s screen for the full class to see and understand how to work through issues as well as supporting hands-on group troubleshooting and learning.
The hands-on technical lab for BLM GROUP employees features a dedicated tube laser used for training, troubleshooting and diagnostics so technicians can gain advanced skills to apply in the field.
The Training Center is now open, with the remaining expansion expected to be completed by early 2027.
