BLM Group to Feature Enhanced LT8.20 Lasertube with Drill and Tap Capability
BLM Group USA (Novi, MI) will demonstrate new features of its LT8.20 Lasertube in Booth A2935.
Posted: August 12, 2021
Updates include a drill and tap module that offers friction or classic drilling and roll tapping, helping to eliminate secondary processes. A new adjustable mode beam 5kW resonator (the first in the industry) with independent and dynamic control helps optimize performance based on material thickness and assist gas while a sensorized cutting head continuously monitors the lens and glass conditions for wear and dirt. Additionally, the LT8.20 can operate using compressed air for faster speeds, improved cut and smoother edge quality in aluminum materials, as well as cost reduction in processing mild steels.
The LT8.20 features a 3D tilt cutting head and can perform high-precision angular cuts in round, square, triangular, special shapes as well as l-beams, where capability has also been improved and expanded. It can process diameters of up to 9.5” and bar weight up to 27 lb./ft.
