LC5
LC5 is the ideal solution for laser cutting both sheet and tubes in all situations in which installing two separate systems is hardly justifiable due to reasons of dimensions, production volumes or more simply cost-effectiveness. A single laser source and a single cutting head is capable of switching from sheet to tube processing (and vice versa) immediately, automatically and without needing re-tooling. LC5 can process metal sheet up to 3000x1500 (or 4000x2000) and round, square, rectangular, oval shaped tubes up to an inscribed diameter of 120 mm and a bar weight of up to 13.5 kg/m. LC5 can be equipped with either a CO2 laser source with a power of up to 4.5 kW or a fiber laser source with power up to 3 kW. The fiber source is advantageous for cutting high reflecting materials (brass, copper) and for more effective aluminium processing.The cutting process is controlled by sensors which monitor all the main parameters on both the CO2 source and fiber versions. The optimal cutting parameters are selected in fully automatic manner according to the material and thickness. Focus is regulated by a servo mechanism fitted inside the cutting head. ADVANTAGES: • tube sheet immediate switch • automatic tube bundle loader • automatic unloading • scrap separation • BLM GROUP 3D graphic CAD/CAM: Artube • tidy collection solutions

LT14 FIBER
A cutting kinematics completely different from other laser tube machines; this is the most important feature of the LT14 FIBER. During the cutting process, it is not the tube to be moved but the cutting head thanks to 5 axis controlled by CN, one of which with a range exceeding 6.5 m along the axis of the tube. • Production takes place faster, because it's not always necessary to shift the tube but only the cutting head, much lighter and more responsive. • The overall geometric accuracy is also higher because the tube is positioned at the beginning of the program and moved no more but at the time of unloading. The plant is equipped with a fiber laser source 3 kW (4 kW in option) and a new 3D cutting head specifically developed by BLM GROUP: with 3D cutting, joints between tubes of large thickness are more accurate and chamfers and bevels can be created that simplify the subsequent welding operations. The machine is able to load, cut and unload automatically tubes and parts up to 355 mm in diameter, open and special profiles (IPE included) without requiring retooling or mechanical manual operations.

Tube/section forming (incl. bending and CNC equipment)
E-Form
The E-FORM end forming machine is equipped with an innovative all-electric rolling device for processing tubes made of copper, aluminium, stainless steel or iron with diameters up to 30 mm. The machine is easy to program and, thanks to the control of its axes via the VGP3D software, it produces parts with maximum precision and repeatability. The punches of the E-FORM tube forming machine offer an upsetting capacity of up to ten tons. This allows you to form tubes from different materials - from copper and aluminium to iron and stainless steel - better with outstanding precision. Forming, rolling, cutting to length, cutting to length - and more. Your E-FORM offers a suitable configuration for every processing. Fixed stations, rotating equipment and CNC rolling equipment - simply configure the tube end forming stations to best meet your needs. By combining the different technologies, you can achieve shaped end pieces with the same repeatability, finishing and tolerance as with finishing. You can easily, quickly and cleanly cut directly in the machine. You don't even have to set the cutting position manually, the CNC device does! Program machining sequences? It's simple. You select the desired stamp and the VGP2D software programs the appropriate values by default. Nothing easier than that! What is the benefit of machining with a horizontal, rigid stamp table with 9 available stamps? A particularly short cycle time due to the feed of a single ram and the differentiated stroke. And without compromise. All our tube forming and tube bending machines are designed for integration into complete production processes. This is an important advantage for optimizing production: you can control the entire process in a single step, eliminating intermediate steps and the need to resume work on other machines, simplifying logistics and shortening machining times. Since there is no additional space required on the upper side of the E-FORM, you can clamp already formed tubes in a vice, even if they have extremely complicated three-dimensional shapes. You can also use numerous tools in the process. This enables you to achieve exactly what you really need. Translated with DeepL

TUBE-FORM
The TUBE-FORM is prepared for up to 7 machining stations, you can equip it freely with fixed stations, turning tools and rolling devices to carry out taper, widen, thread, roll, close, cut, cut, etc. operations. By combining these technologies, you can achieve formed ends with the same repeatability, finish and quality characteristics as obtained by material removal. With the forming machine TUBE-FORM you can also perform the successive "tube head tube end" processing automatically on both tube sides. With the orbital cutter, which can be mounted on the TUBE-FORM, you avoid the annoying part restarts that are normally necessary when the part has been bent beforehand and needs to be aligned for forming work. The electric axes that control and monitor all the movements of the machine (including control and modulation of blocking and thrust forces) ensure the highest accuracy tolerances and maximum repeatability. All setup parameters are stored together with the part program. The simplification of cabling and the elimination of hydraulic systems reduce maintenance and the risks associated with component wear. With the obvious advantage of making the machine more reliable and safer. The "All-Electric" technology ensures quiet and clean machines and, above all, great energy savings. Thanks to the combined effect of the "All-Electric" technology and the rolling group, complex profiles can be produced with maximum accuracy and repeatability and very fast production changes. All selected combinations are programmed and managed by the CNC control. In this way, manual adjustments are avoided, with significant savings in cycle time and loading and unloading operations, in favour of better quality and repeatability of machining operations. All our tube forming and tube bending machines can be integrated into complete manufacturing processes. This often makes it possible to optimize production: managing the entire process in a single operation and eliminating intermediate stations and restarting the part on other equipment simplifies logistics and reduces execution time.
