BLM Offers Tube Fabrication Systems
Novi, MI — BLM Group USA is offer- ing its new LT8.10 fiber laser tube cutting system, along with a series of efficient tube-bending machines. These include the company’s SMART tube bender, ELECT 102 electric tube bender and the E-TURN 52 electric tube bender, which can load
system is controlled by the compa- ny’s user-friendly VGP3D software. The ELECT 102, an all-electric
tube bender is designed for accuracy and productivity when bending tubes up to 4 in. (10 cm) in diameter. The machine can bend tubes with multi- ple radii using stack tooling for right-

and unload automatically. With its 3 kW fiber laser, the
LT8.10 provides excellent flexibility for precise laser cutting of a variety of materials with tube diameters up to 9.5 in. (24 cm). The system is suitable for cutting highly-reflective materials, such as brass, copper and aluminum, and can process round, square, rec- tangular, special-shaped tube or bar, and open profiles easily. The SMART all-electric tube-
bending machine is designed to pro- vide speed, precision and reliability when processing tubes with diameters up to 1 in. (2.5 cm). Its compact layout and integrated robotic loading and unloading enable non-stop, automatic operation. The SMART is well-suited to bend complicated shapes and rubes with multiple radii. It can be used in a wide range of
configurations, both manual and robotic, and with a variety of auto- mated loaders. The automated load- ers are designed to handle straight or preassembled tubes with formed ends, flanges or fittings. The entire
hand or left-hand bending. Up to eight tools can be fitted at the same time. Variable-radius tools can be used in any position. The unit can handle difficult applications with lit- tle or no straight between bends, as well as tight-radius bends. E-TURN 52, another all-electric
tube bender, can bend a variety of tube configurations, such as round, square, rectangular, flat-sided, oval, and elliptical. Tubes can be automat- ically loaded, bent and unloaded in the machine. The system can bend tubes up
to 2 in. (5 cm) in diameter and can automatically predict and calculate the behavior of the tube during the bending operation. This is particular- ly useful for processing high-strength materials or stainless steel with high spring-back to prevent early tool wear and the unsightly marks
caused by slippage. Contact: BLM Group USA,

Maxum’s Air Blower Drys Complex Shapes
Rochester Hills, MI — Maxum has introduced its Nozzle Bar®, a patent- ed air blow-off device that looks and installs like an air knife, but offers the full air power of individual noz-

With Maxum’s converging and laminar flow technology, air reaches the part in a stronger, faster, more- concentrated form than slot- style air knives, improving efficiency while slashing energy usage.

zles. According to the company, the device uses less energy and reaches farther than conventional air knives. Its internal nozzle system is fully customizable. This allows the cus- tomer to create an optimized system for any part and provides the force to reach deep cavities and accommo- date various shapes. Air nozzles provide better blow-

convergence from the superi- or penetration of nozzles, the Nozzle Bar can be customized to provide powerful blow-off force. It can dry complicated shapes using more air where it is needed, and less air where it is not, all from a sin-

terns and flow rates are available. Contact: Maxum, LLC, P.O. Box
