Simple because it is smart
No experience is needed to use ELECT: All movements are managed by an electric axis. Set-up is automatic, and all position and power parameters are saved together with the part program.
![Tube bending machines with automatic set-up of tube bending equipment Tube bending machines with automatic set-up of tube bending equipment](https://www.blmgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WEBSITE%20ASSETS/ELECT%20Product%20page/-%20materiale%20completo%20aggiornato/ELECT_Format_48.jpg?width=1090&name=ELECT_Format_48.jpg)
Round or special section tubes
Not only round, square, or rectangle, with ELECT you can also bend special profiles.
The modular die maintains uniformity along the entire curve, whatever section you are working on with the certainty of always having accurate results.
All parts are precise and repeatable
You can always count on repeatability and geometric precision of the bent part, regardless of material imperfections.
Using special programs that can be selected by the operator, ELECT compensates variations in material quality and dimensional accuracy.
![All parts are equal and repeatable](https://www.blmgroup.com/hubfs/WEBSITE%20ASSETS/ELECT%20Product%20page/-%20materiale%20completo%20aggiornato/ELECT_Format_02_E.jpg)
Quality is power under your control
Small sections even for narrow radii. High-quality appearance. No waste.
The machine can be equipped with different levels of carriage boost power (up to 60,000 N).
The boost can be continuously controlled over the entire bending sequence controlling the material behavior, such as elongation and springback.
This ensures maximum process control to the last bend.
Quick changeover
Change the bending tools quickly and easily. With the quick-change system you exchange tooling in just 3 minutes.
The set-up is automatic and you are immediately ready for a new production.
ELECT helps you with manual loading
Manual loading is easy even with heavy tubes or multi-jointed mandrels because the machine knows how to help you.
Perform automatic loading
You can position the loader and/or feeder on the right or left and manage load and bending directly using the VGP3D software.
Or do everything for you
Run production 24/7 with a safe, autonomous, and productive turnkey solution, in which loading, bending, and unloading robots are entirely managed by VGP3D.
Always reliable
Sensors fitted on the machine automatically stop production if a problem occurs.
This means that processes are always reliable, safe, and prevent material waste even during unmanned operation.
![Always reliable even when the tube bending machine is unmanned](https://www.blmgroup.com/hubfs/WEBSITE%20ASSETS/ELECT%20Product%20page/-%20materiale%20completo%20aggiornato/ELECT_Format_02_M.jpg)
Breakdown in process
It saves time and material. Add integrated nick and shear to eliminate a secondary process step.
Search for holes and welding
Precise and repeatable results every time: automatically detect holes, slots, and the weld seam.
In-line punching
Save time. Perform in-line punching and manage it from VGP3D to streamline your production.

Take no risks – choose your safety features
The pedal prevents dropping the parts at the end of the loading and unloading operations.
The two-hand activation control prevents the operator from coming into contact with moving parts.
To combine safety and efficiency, the laser scanner allows you to choose the size of the work area based on the size of the part you are working on.
The machine is provided with the CE declaration of conformity and the user and maintenance manual.

Integrate All-In-One Lasertubes and tube bending machines
Integrate All-In-One Lasertubes and tube bending machines
As a result of the bending, the elongation of the tube shifts the geometries previously cut with the laser, causing the part to be out of specification.
BLM GROUP Lasertubes and tube bending machines automatically solve these problems by exchanging information on the mechanical characteristics of the tube.
The position of the geometries to be cut is then changed to account for subsequent elongations.
You will always produce laser-cut and bent parts right from the start.
