BLM Group USA has introduced the model LT8.10 fiber laser tube cutting system. The 3-D, 3-kW machine cuts a variety of tube materials in diameters up to 9.5 in. It handles highly reflective materials such as brass, copper, and aluminum and can process round, square, rectangle, flat oval, and D-shaped tubes, as well as open profiles such as C- and U-shaped channel bar.

The unit is equipped with the compact, lightweight Tube Cutter 3-D cutting head. It is suitable for a variety of tube cutting applications, including tilt cutting of thick-walled steel.

The machine is available in multiple load/unload configurations, including an automatic bundle loader, automatic step loader, and a manual single bar loader. Complex operations, such as nesting multiple part numbers on the same bar and changing to different profiles, are managed automatically.
