BLM GROUP USA has introduced the LT360 all-in-one 3D cutting system. It features a fiber laser cutting head mounted on a 6-axis robot working in tandem with a part handling robot to produce complex geometries in any 3D piece within a single process.

The system processes curved, hydroformed, preformed, and prewelded tubes, as well as flat and stamped sheets, in mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, and brass. It is configurable and compact, comprising a cutting head mounted on a 6-axis robot and a working table with a work area of 1,500 by 1,000 mm.

Available with a 2- or 3-kW fiber laser source, the cutting head features capacitive height sensing, allowing maximum freedom to cut at 360 degrees with an accuracy of +/-0.006 in. and a repeatability of +/-0.002 in.
