7 benefits of automatic storage system for Lasertube cutting machine

Jul 27, 2022 5:14:30 PM

The subject of material loading and unloading automation is well established in sheet laser cutting with a multitude of solutions and complexity. In contrast, tube laser cutting systems equipped with vertical storage systems, for tubes and section bars, capable of handling bars automatically and allowing for unmanned production changes have only been available for a few years.

Let's look below at the advantages of using an automatic tube and section bar storage system with a Lasertube cutting system.

Managing weld seams makes the difference in tube processing

Jan 4, 2022 9:48:00 AM

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 solution for any need is a tube and sheet laser cutting system

Dec 7, 2021 7:07:59 PM

“For us, the cutting time is not a particularly important parameter, the flexibility of the system is much more important, the process as a whole counts, and it's just not possible to compare the manual work of before with the current situation.”

How to optimize material usage in tube laser-cutting

Sep 8, 2021 7:17:18 PM

One of the crucial aspects of batch preparation for tube laser-cutting is the choice of bars for nesting. Material is the main cost factor in a work order and so its optimal management is essential to achieve a positive profit and yield.

With this crucial factor in mind, BLM GROUP has developed ProTube, for nesting, preparing production batches and monitoring them. The software implements advanced functions to make the best use of raw material at all stages of processing (supply, nesting and processing).

The differences between laser and plasma in tube cutting

May 20, 2021 9:31:41 PM

The differences between laser and plasma cutting in sheet metal are well known but what are the criteria for choosing between them when cutting tubes and profiles?

Laser cutting and plasma cutting are two technologically different metal cutting methods. As can be expected, the characteristics of the cut, the types of applications and the benefits they can offer are also different.

Multiple operations on a single Lasertube system

Jan 18, 2021 10:17:25 AM

This is the age of integration, of the All-In-One to reduce operations and optimize production. We want to have everything under control, constantly measured and compared. We want all the information stored in an organized manner because we do not know when we are going to need it again, but we know that we will. We are always on the lookout for more and more sophisticated tools to manage a growing complexity and demand.
