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.

Advanced processes for tube manufacturing, the result of growing demand for increased productivity and above all, flexibility, has led to the creation of systems capable of performing complex and precision operations on pre- bent, hydroformed or shaped tubes. 3D laser cutting technology is playing an increasingly important role in this type of processes.

LT360 is the result of BLM GROUP’s strong experience in laser cutting straight or bent tubes and more generally 2D or 3D parts.

It is a highly innovative robotic 3D laser cutting system that combines the qualities of a robot with those typical of a CNC laser cutting machine.

3D laser cutting systems are becoming widespread in a growing variety of industries and applications: automotive, aerospace, industrial vehicles, motorcycles and other various systems.

A 3D laser cutting robot system is developed to laser cut three-dimensional profiles and consists of an industrial robot (usually with 6 axes) with a 3D laser cutting head mounted at the end of the robotic arm.

LT-FREE is the BLM GROUP 3D laser system for processing any three-dimensional profile, curved, deep-drawn, hydroformed, pre-welded, flat or printed sheet metal alike. 

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.
