and functionality. The Adige LT5 at Olicana Products
laser combined with the large- capacity tube loader, which can handle round, oval, square and rectangular tube, along with the LT5’s ability to measure each tube during pre-loading means that the machine can run for extended periods unmanned. The measurement of the tube is also used by the machine control to optimise part nesting and reduce
waste material. During the entire from loading to cutting the tube is fully supported and guided, ensuring maximum accuracy of cut parts and protection of the tube surface. As well as the ease of use of the Siemens control, which can be positioned to give complete visibility of the cutting process at all times, other elements of the operator interface have been
addressed in the design of the LT5. For example, at the front of the machine are large, double opening, doors for ease of access for setting and maintenance procedures. The LT5’s electrical cabinets are located in one position at the end of the machine, again for ease of access
Olicana is making full use of these features whether on the small tubular assemblies that it produces for the automotive, and yellow goods sector, or for the tubular frames it constructs for its furniture customers. The precision of the cut, and of particular note, the ability to cut a true circle in tube has improved overall component quality. The initial success of the LT5 at Olicana means that it is already running two shifts and with new components being added to its inventory every day the cost will continue to add up.
