BLM unveils Adige LC5 laser cutter for tube and sheet

Both flat sheet and tube section can be processed on the Adige LC5 laser cutting system. Available from BLM Group UK, the machine brings extra opportunities for purchase justification and for users to exploit the productivity gains that laser can deliver, particularly on shorter production runs.

The LC5 can switch from flat sheet processing to tube processing, and vice-versa, automatically and without the need for any re-tooling, says BLM. It can process flat sheet measuring up to 1,500 by 3,000 mm, and round, square, rectangular and oval section tube up to a maximum diameter of 120 mm. A 4.5 kW CO2 laser source or a 3 kW fiber laser are offered, the latter opening up the potential to process reflective metals such as copper, brass and aluminium.
