Machine intelligence optimizes the process parameters to overcome many challenges experienced in lasertube cutting. Active Tools are special features, gathering all the expertise of BLM GROUP, ensuring you produce high quality parts, repeatably and independent from the operator's experience level.
Active Scan
Irregular or distorted tubes are no longer a cause of error
Active scan is an optical measuring system that uses real-time compensation to counteract axial errors created by misshaped tubes or profiles. It analyzes the area of the tube at the cutting nozzle location to ensure accurate placement of laser cut geometries without sacrificing time, accuracy, or quality.
Corrections are applied to the part program to ensure tolerances are maintained to the user-defined reference points. Productivity no longer has to be sacrificed to maintain the highest degree of accuracy. Parts are produced to specification, while reducing material waste, errors, and realizing cost and time savings.
Active Marking allows parts to be dynamically marked during the cutting process. Marking areas are defined and programmed using Artube 3D CAD/CAM software and executed by the machine in real-time. Time, date, part numbers, and serial numbers can be added individually or sequentially for part traceability.
Active Speed allows you to achieve the best cut quality rapidly for all material conditions. Thanks to the automatic adaptation of all laser cutting parameters, you can minimize optimization times, even in the worst working conditions.
Active Piercing
Maximum productivity even on thick-walled and inconsistent material quality
Active Piercing optimizes piercing time and improves process reliability, even when the material has an inconsistent quality and thickness.
Active Focus
Quick and error-free production changeover
Active Focus dynamically adjusts the focal position to improve 2D/3D cutting and marking performance and quality. Cycle time is reduced and cutting quality improved.
Active Weld
The welding seam is automatically detected and oriented
Active Weld detects the internal or external weld seam and repositions the tube to ensure to the weld seam is oriented to the programmed position.
Active Sense
Smart process control
With up to 25% higher cutting speed and automatic compensation for material thickness variation, Active Sense is the smart process control that automatically adjusts cutting parameters.
