Technological integration of laser cutting and tube bending

Increase your competitiveness with technological integration

 
Combining all product lines is easy because it was designed from the outset and simplified by the use of a single BLMelements software suite so you can:
 
  • Eliminate semi-finished products to be handled and stored. 
  • Eliminate intermediate processes and secondary machining operations, working in line or in parallel.
  • Eliminate errors resulting from the combined effect of several successive jobs.
  • Eliminate inefficiencies, plan and monitor your process from a single point of management.

Tube bending machine and Lasertube together to always get the part right from the start

The laser-cut and bent tube right from the start. The smart Lasertubes and tube bending machines compensate for the deforming effects induced by bending offering you:

  • Easy programming even without experience. No rejects, no need for trial and error.
  • Precise and repeatable parts immediately.
  • Efficiency in the production of large or small batches.

Technological integration of laser cutting and tube bending

How the All-In-One works

The tube bending machine calculates the elongation of the material and communicates it to the Lasertube.
The Lasertube system corrects the position of the cutting geometries along the tube based on the information received and processes it.
The part is then passed to the tube bending machine which also compensates for the springback of the tube. The result is the laser-cut and bent tube to perfection.

The result is a laser-cut and bent tube right from the start

All from one single management point. ArTube

ArTube allows you to import curved tubes and get a single linear design for your Lasertube system.
The software estimates the deformations that the bending process will cause (springback and elongation), appropriately correcting the laser cutting path so your part is right from the start.

Integrazione tecnologica fra taglio laser e curvatura del tubo

Always convenient integration! More on the multi-tube

Eliminate the multiplying effect of costs on multi-tube products. Exploit the flexibility of integrated systems to make more parts of an assembly in a single nesting.

The length of each part is already correct because All-In-One calculates the elongations of the next bending step.

Coil-fed bending with mandrel: productivity and quality without compromise

With the production system fed from coil with mandrel, you can bend and shape the tube directly from coil achieving the required finish and the most stringent technological parameters (average radius, diameter, thickness, material).

Coil-fed manufacturing with mandrel

Coil-fed manufacturing with mandrel offers you:

Bending of tubes fed from coil with average radii smaller than 1D.
Production flexibility because you program your part and start production just in time.
Maximum productivity with parallel machining, in continuous cycles, even 24/7.
Eliminate semi-finished products to be handled and stored.
Ability to use the machines independently.
