BLMelements - new software suite grouping programming, simulating, managing and production control from the BLM Group


BLMelements by BLM GROUP is the integrated programming and management environment. BLM GROUP is the metal tube processing technology expert and has exploited this experience to make a set of software applications which by communicating with one another can manage multiple-part/ multiple-technology assemblies simply and effectively, from programming to production control.

LMelements is a software suite which groups the BLM GROUP programming,


simulating, managing and production control tools. A distinctive and extremely important strength of these applications is their integration, which considerably simplifies the work of programmers. From simple components to multiple-part/multiple-technology assemblies, the objective is to see the end part as a whole, without needing to program each single job separately regardless of its type – laser cutting, disc cutting, bending or end-forming. Starting from a three-dimensional model of an assembly, for instance, you may want to examine and analyze it with the help of software tools capable of recognizing

the various parts and jobs and manage them automatically. Therefore, grouping the programming, simulating and production control applications in the BLMelements suite has practical implications on system integration.


Artube3 This is the extremely powerful Lasertube CAD/CAM programming tool. With its many add-on modules, it is the most advanced laser design system on the market today. The three-dimensional parametric CAD model exploits the potentials of advanced libraries, which include fitting and cut-bend options, simplifying to the fullest operations which took a long time and required a great deal of expertise to put together.


The module for importing


3D models is just as effective. The Assembler module allows you to import complex tubular structures and not just individual parts, to make managing them extremely easy. Multi-technology models, including bent tubes, can also be imported. Bending operations are automatically recognized and managed by creating the part program to be sent to the bending system. This opportunity considerably expands the “system integration” concept. The CAM module exploits the


thirty years of experience of BLM GROUP in laser tube processing and offers optimal automatic cutting solutions. In most cases, it is even possible to switch from importing the 3D model to generating the part program

directly without any manual operation.


VGP3D


An extremely simple and versatile bending system for programming and managing, designed by BLM GROUP to be used on all tube and wire bending systems.


The tube design is displayed in 3D mode gradually as the operator enters the data of each bend with a very simple and intuitive sequence of operations.


At the end of the programming operation, a 3D graphic simulator shows the real processing of the part on the selected bending system and highlights any collisions which would make it impossible. Being able to import 3D models of the bent tubes and the link to Artube to receive part programs prepared in advance makes this
