What are the benefits of a multi-technology production management MES? Why use Prometheus?

Those who are already familiar with the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software of BLM GROUP "ProTube Enterprise" in the management of the processing of tubular parts with laser cutting and bending, will find its evolution "Prometheus" very interesting. Prometheus allows unified management of the wide range of technologies within the Group, such as Lasertube, sheet metal laser cutting, tube bending and 3D part laser cutting.

Heat pumps represent the future of domestic and industrial heating, in this article you will discover some of the main technological needs in the production of tubes for HVACR systems in general and some of the solutions proposed by BLM GROUP.

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.

Copper and aluminium busbars have always been used for conducting electric current in a wide variety of equipment, such as transformers, electrical cabinets, switchgear, generators and generally in all-electric engineering applications where very high powers are involved.

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.
