BLM GROUP USA introduces the LT360 all-in-one 3D cutting system featuring a fiber laser cutting head mounted on a 6-axis robot working in tandem with a part handling robot to produce the most complex geometries in any 3-dimensional piece within a single process, helping to eliminate secondary cutting, drilling, punching, milling or deburring operations. The LT360 offers outstanding freedom of movement and the ability to process curved, hydroformed, preformed, or pre-welded tubes as well as flat and/or stamped sheets in mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper and brass. This all-in-one technology delivers a low cost per part, super-fast programming, ease of use, and unlimited feasibility.
The LT360 is configurable and compact, consisting of a cutting head mounted on a 6-axis robot, and a working table with a work area of 1500 x 1000 mm. For increased productivity, a 20 kg capacity handling robot and part holding table can be integrated. Available with a 2 kW or 3 kW fiber laser source, the cutting head features capacitive height sensing, allowing maximum freedom for cutting any three-dimensional profile in space to truly cut at 360° with an accuracy of ±0.15 mm (.006”) and a repeatability of ±0.05 mm (.002”).
The fixed worktable is equipped with an integrated laser slat, removable scrap collection tank and fume extraction connection. The part holder table includes magnetic supports, allowing for maximum freedom in positioning the workpiece during loading and unloading. It also has an innovative fixturing system that is quick and easy to setup and avoids the need to create dedicated tooling for each part.
The LT360 is offered in three different configurations to best fit your needs. All versions offer easy accessibility for maintenance, cleaning, inspection and workpiece loading and unloading.
As with all BLM lasertube systems, the LT360 comes with BLM GROUP’s user-friendly software interface and Active Tools, patented solutions that automatically adapt process parameters for optimal results independent of operator experience.
Related Glossary Terms
- flat ( screw flat)
flat ( screw flat)
Flat surface machined into the shank of a cutting tool for enhanced holding of the tool.
- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
