Laser 3D Tube Cutting Machine



The LT7 Lasertube machine by BLM Group

The LT7 Lasertube processes round, square or rectangular sections up to 6" diameter as well as special sections and open profiles.

BLM GROUP offers its next generation LT7 Lasertube machine capable of 3D cutting. The LT7 is designed to improve productivity and accuracy through innovations in tube management and handling.

The machine features a 3 kW fiber laser that provides a broad working range and allows for easy cutting of round, square or rectangular sections up to 6" in diameter. Special sections and open profiles can also be processed.

Loading chains can be extracted from the rear standard bundle loader within seconds, providing the flexibility to load a single bar or open section quickly and simply. The loading and unloading systems also adapt to accommodate short and long parts with innovative tube supports throughout the process.

At the end of each production batch, the LT7 automatically configures itself for the next batch for quick changes in production and higher productivity, regardless of the new sections to be made (round, square, special and even open profiles). No manual adjustments are necessary. This advantage results in higher output and a lower cost per part.

"The LT7 further supports productivity and quality enhancements through the machine's mechanical rigidity, which allows high levels of acceleration without compromising accuracy," said a company spokesperson.

BLM GROUP patented technologies designed to enhance ease of use include:

  • Active Scan-Eliminates errors induced by distorted tubes
  • Active Tilt-Uses focus head movement to provide fast processing of small features
  • Active Focus-Provides error-free cuts regardless of changes in material and thickness
  • Active Marking-Offers dynamic part marking for complete production traceability
  • Active Speed-Provides higher cutting quality on the most critical jobs
  • Active Piercing-Increases piercing speed and reliability even on inconsistent material quality and thickness.

Two exclusive software programs enhance the versatility of the LT7 Lasertube, helping to keep production under control and bring design ideas to life: Protube and Artube.

The Protube monitoring system helps users to make accurate time and cost estimates based on processing time for an entire production batch. The system also prepares work orders and sends them to the machine, while a remote management feature provides real-time production progress monitoring, system operating statistics, estimates to the next batch change and more. Protube can be integrated with an ERP system to automatically distribute work orders to all connected BLM GROUP machines and technologies.

Artube is a 3D CAD/CAM software that allows users to move from a design idea to a part in one click. Simply enter tube dimensions to desired cuts to go directly to production. The software can also design a more complex frame through clear, 3D graphics, or users can import other CAD programs and send everything needed to start production to the machine immediately and without errors.
