BLM Group

Company Profile

For over 60 years, BLM GROUP has been making state-of-the-art systems for processing tubes, flat sheet, and three-dimensional components to make production simpler, more innovative and more effective for our customers. Tube processing is our core: laser cutting, bending, saw cutting and end-forming. Our in-depth knowledge of metal processing has expanded our product portfolio to include flat sheet laser cutting systems, 5-axis laser cutting systems, and press brakes, including a diverse selection of material handling & automation solutions. Our products focus on process optimization, efficiency, and the direct material benefit for our customers.

Headquartered in Italy with a network of subsidiaries, our factory trained staff provide pre- and post sales support, training, spare parts and service to customers worldwide. The North American market is served by BLM GROUP USA, based in Novi, Michigan and offers comprehensive and competitive financing solutions through BLM GROUP Financial Services, making it easier than ever to invest in new BLM equipment.

Whether you’re processing flat sheet or tube stock, you can rely upon our BLM GROUP’s experience to improve your daily fabrication operations.

Featured Products:

LS5 Flatsheet Laser Cutting System

Description: Compact and configurable sheet metal laser cutting system, in-line or transverse pallet change, fiber laser source up to 8kW. Process sheet metal: 3000 x 1500 mm (10’ x 5’), 4000 x 2000 mm (13’ x 6.5’), 6000 x 2000 mm (20’ x 6.5’)

LT7 Lasertube

3D laser cutter for tube up to 152.4 mm (6”) in diameter, open and special profile, all automatic settings

E-TURN CNC Tube Bender

In-process right-hand/left-hand CNC tube bender for pipes and tubes up to 50.8mm (2”) diameter. All-electric axes to achieve repeatable, accurate parts, while minimizing set-up, changeover, and maintenance requirements.

ELECT CNC Tube Bender

All electric CNC tube bending machines for tubes up to 150 mm (6”). Configurable for right- or left-hand bending and fixed or radial bending in a single cycle. Up to eight tools can be fitted at the same time. Variable radius tools can be used in any position (from 1 to 8). Bending capability from 40 to 150 mm (6.0") diameters

3-RUNNER/SMART/E-SHAPE End-Forming & Bending

Process from coil. All automatic tube straightening, forming and cutting workcell. For demanding applications (tight radius, small diameter and controlled wall thickness), combining the 3-RUNNER,the SMART tube bending, and E-SHAPE machine means having a completely integrated process starting from a coil, bending parts with a mandrel, and end-forming. It is an extremely effective solution for minimizing cycle times and part cost by running synchronous processes.

LT-FREE 5-Axis Laser Cutting System

The LT-FREE 5-axis laser cutting machine is perfect for processing any 3D part with high precision and excellent cut quality. Process bent tubes, hydroformed components, tubular assemblies or stamped parts. Four (4) configurations are available to meet different production requirements: fixed worktables, dual-rotary index tables, dual shuttle tables, and combined robot/shuttle table.

EM80 End-Machining & Sawing Machine

Combination saw and machining center for tubes and bar stock, which combines the flexibility of a lathe with the productivity and robustness of a transfer machine. It offers easy to program features and highly productive output. It is designed for continuous, even unmanned, production of metal parts that are cut to length and then have the ends machined. Starting from full length bars, parts are sawed to length then finished with roughing and plunge milling, CNC turning, tapping, drilling and radial milling and even knurling, rolling, or spot facing. Finished parts, with lengths from 10 to 600 mm (.400” to 23.6”) are then washed and measured to ensure accuracy.

LT8.20

The widest working range in tube laser cutting. 3D cutting head with 3-4kW fiber laser. Handles round, square, rectangle, special sections and open profiles from 12 - 240 mm diameter; Up to 40 kg/m weight.

LT14/LT24

For large tubes and structural beams. 3D cutting head in 3.6 – 4.5 kW fiber (CO2). Process round tubes, squares, rectangles, special sections, open profiles up to 16mm thickness, 18 m lengths and 300 kg/m in weight.
