One of the most common methods for making the best use of available material and reducing waste on Lasertube machines is nesting - an algorithm that optimizes cutting patterns based on the material loaded onto the Lasertube machine.

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.
