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.
