LT905D - 3D LASER CUTTING OF BENT OR PRE-FORMED TUBES:

LT905D cutting cell characteristics:

• FLEXIBILITY - one system cut bent tubes or hydro-formed components
• INTEGRATION OF SEPARATE PRODUCTION STEPS
• OPTIMAL MATERIAL FLOW on the shop floor
• EQUALLY EFFICIENT even with small batches

This high speed, multi-axis laser system and robotic module can be configured to process a wide range of 3D formed tubes (bent, end formed, hydro formed etc) and complete tubular space frames assemblies.

This new process supersedes a lot of previous traditional operations requiring different machines such as straight cut, deburring, punching, pressing, drilling and milling. All consolidated into one continuous cutting process on one cell.

Main features:

• Eliminates the need for hard tooling
• Reduces set up time
• Reduces assembly cost using efficient self-locating features
• Produces higher quality, more consistent parts...enabling robotic welding
• Reduces part flow time

The laser tube cutting cellcan also be integrated in a single production line with bending, end forming and assembly operations.

The most usual applications are tubular components for: motorcycle industry, Furniture, Silencers, Industrial equipment, hydro formed parts.

BLM also develops customized solutions to meet customer specific requirements within its dedicated Special Division.
