BLM Group to present bending system for tubes and profiles E-TURN32 at Intec 2017

BLM GROUP will be present at Intec from March 7 to 10, 2017, with E-TURN32: the in-process, multi-radius, all-electric, right-hand and left-hand bending system for tubes and profiles. The E-TURN will be showcasing the type of technology that is incorporated into the complete line up of BLM Group saws, lasers, benders and end formers for processing tube, wire and sheet metal components.

The E-TURN32 bending system is the perfect example of the BLM GROUP philosophy applied to its products. It is the industry leader in terms of performance, accuracy, reliably and flexibility, the system is appreciated for its ability to take on particularly complex bending jobs. It often succeeds where other benders fail. BLM GROUP has what it takes: to bend tubes or wire, laser cut tubes and sheets, end-form tubes or saw solid bar or tubes. BLM GROUP makes the difference

LT8.10 makes the difference
Today, 3D laser (tilt) cutting is a reality regardless of the resonator technology (CO2 or Fiber), for straight or bent tubes up to as large as 610 millimetres (24”). The LT8.10 automated laser tube cutter satisfies the accuracy and quality needs for cutting straight tubes and doing non-orthogonal cutting such as weld preparations.

LT5 makes the difference
The LT5 laser system combines the main features of the Lasertube family with simple, no-nonsense design choices to maintain an extremely advantageous quality/price ratio.
It is the optimal machine to enter the laser cutting world for tubes of up to 120 millimetres (4.75”) in diameter. It is also available in ‘round-tube-only’ configuration for fast, clean and cost effective straight tube cut off that beats traditional sawing or shear type cutting systems.

LT-FREE makes the difference
The LT-FREE five-axis laser cutting system developed by BLM GROUP ensures top-notch flexibility and simplicity of use for cutting 3D parts in different shapes. Bent tubes, flat and drawn sheet metal, hydroformed components and welded assemblies can pierced and trimmed simply and accurately. From the raw tubes to the finished part in one step.

All-In-One makes the difference
Tube processing system integration is a specialty of BLM GROUP. The Group's extensive experience and deep knowledge of bending systems, laser cutting and forming is exploited to integrate multiple machines with the goal of cutting the time needed to make a finished part. The software is the key component that makes it all work. Software for automatically creating laser cutting and bending system programs by importing a 3D model of the finished part or for managing the interface between systems to make the part right from the start.

Artube makes the difference
Artube is the Lasertube parametric 3D CAD-CAM programming system. It is cleverly designed to fully exploit all the potential of each system. Three-dimensional file import, special profile management and fully automated programming (to create part programs from an imported file without the need for additional programmer interaction) are just some of the most recent developments of the software developed for use on all Lasertube systems.
One particular innovation is the ability to import a file of a bent tube and then use the ‘cut-and-bend’ technique on the laser to make a bent part with the laser system instead of a bender.

E-FLEX makes the difference
E-FLEX is the single head wire bending system that joins the DH double-head systems and completes the line-up of wire bending machines. With the outstanding flexibility provided by the double turret bending head, E-FLEX can make complex 3D parts which are not excessively developed in height.
One of the strengths worth mentioning is the VGP3D programming and simulation software used on all bending systems of the Group. It has no equals in the industry.
