With a laser source power that reaches 12kW, the efficiency and control capacity of the cutting process of LS5, the BLM GROUP sheet metal laser cutting system, is derived from the synergy between the technical characteristics of the laser cutting head fitted on the machine and the specific technological solutions of BLM GROUP which are designed to optimize the entire sheet metal laser cutting process.

There are many cases in which the weld seams on tubes are an issue that must be addressed in order to obtain satisfactory finished parts. Technical requirements, appearance, structural and thickness tolerances and process continuity of the weld do not allow for leaving the position of the weld seam to chance. This rings true for laser cutting and bending alike. Let's take a closer look at the solutions available on BLM GROUP systems.

The Dutch firm Metazet FormFlex, global total partner in horticulture, replaced its existing BLM GROUP laser cutting machines after 17 years with the GROUP’s latest technology tube and sheet machinesp.

In this short interview Lorenzo Carminato, Business Development Manager of LT-FREE at BLM GROUP USA, discusses the benefits of 5-axis laser cutting for aerospace applications.

Since its establishment 25 years ago in a garage in Kings Lynn, Norfolk in the UK, Optimal Metal Services has followed the relatively simple, yet effective, growth strategy of constantly adding value to the products offered to their customers mainly by continuously investing in new sheet processing machinery for punching, laser-cutting, bending, etc.

The precision and technological features of laser cutting are opening new perspectives in the production of welded joints for the structural applications, making it possible to create complex geometry connections with greater accuracy and speed than in the past.

Innovating is not only an exercise of ingenuity aimed at increasing your profit margin. Today more than ever, it is a necessity because the world is changing and with it are the needs of customers and the technological solutions to satisfy them.

From the structural point of view, Lasertube systems are an integral part of this technological change and are actively contributing to the innovation process of many companies bringing about major benefits:

As a high-end system, LT-FREE utilizies technology similar to that of the products of other major players in the sector.

LT-FREE is a 3D laser cutting system that processes all three-dimensional metal parts: curved, hydroformed, preformed, pre-welded, drawn, flat and/or stamped sheet metal. 

LT-FREE is a 5-axis fiber laser cutting system designed by BLM GROUP for processing any 3D part:

• Any three-dimensional profile, including curved, hydroformed, flat or stamped sheet metal, pre-welded and pre-formed tubes.
• A wide variety of materials, such as mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and copper alloys.
