When is it useful to bend a tube with a small bending radius?

Mar 27, 2024 7:37:14 AM

Dimensions, design, geometric requirements and much more; in tube bending being able to achieve a minimum centerline radius can represent a considerable advantage. We are talking about extreme curvatures characterized by a ratio between centerline radius and diameter less than 1, which require significant technological know-how to be achieved.

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.
