Tube Laser and Press Brake Automation Solutions

At FABTECH, BLM GROUP USA will be showcasing, among other solutions, how tube and sheet laser machines work in tandem with benders and press brakes to reduce or eliminate secondary processes for improved productivity.

For the first time globally, BLM GROUP will introduce a new tube laser for medium-sized tubes that provides compatibility with the state-of-the-art features of larger models in a more compact footprint. An all-new, fully automated press brake system offering simple set-up for real-time synchronization between the robot and press brake will also make its world debut.

Another first at the show will be the E-TURN63, an all-electric tube bender capable of right- and left-hand, in-process bending of tubes up to 2.5" (63 mm). The machine, making its North America debut, offers the ability to perform complex bends in a single cycle. It is suited for use in industrial plants, plus automotive, furniture and shipbuilding applications.

BLM GROUP will also be showcasing several solutions that are designed to increase productivity, minimize scrap and lower part cost. These include:

• The LT-FREE 5-axis laser, equipped with a robotic arm, can cut complex part geometries with variable thicknesses. Able to cut pre-processed parts in full 360°, the machine is versatile to support the most innovative and demanding applications for automotive and aerospace applications.
• The LS5 sheet laser in the transversal model offers load/unload automation for high-quality, precise sheet cutting with an evenly distributed footprint.
• The all-electric ProBend 260-150 features a patented direct-drive torque motor to provide precision and repeatability on simple to complex sheet metal bending applications.
• The ELECT102 all-electric tube bender is capable of bending tubes up to 4" in diameter and specializes in handling large, robust tubes for right- or left-hand bends.
• The 4-RUNNER H3 tube bender supports right- and left-hand bends to process small and medium diameter tubes, specializing in complex shapes to make flat or 3D serpentines.
