BLM GROUP will take part in Tube 2026, the leading international trade fair for tube processing, scheduled from April 13 to 17 at the exhibition center in Düsseldorf, with a clear claim: “Many technologies, ONE partner.” A message that reflects over sixty years of industrial evolution and the development of a wide range of technological solutions, created to meet an increasingly clear market demand: having a single partner capable of delivering complete, integrated and reliable solutions. The ideal partner to unlock unlimited production possibilities.
In Hall 5, Stand J22, the company will showcase a broad and structured product portfolio, designed to adapt to diverse and constantly evolving production environments.
“Today, value lies not only in the individual machine, but in the interconnected ecosystem of technologies, data and processes that maximize operational efficiency,” says Maurizio Toselli, Sales Director of BLM GROUP. “For this reason, we support customers by offering comprehensive and modular assistance throughout the entire product lifecycle. The adopted solutions are calibrated to specific operational requirements, ensuring scalability, continuity and progressive integration. The use of advanced CAD/CAM software, combined with production management and monitoring systems, ensures precise process control, high operational flexibility and a complete, real-time overview of the entire production cycle, regardless of plant size or level of automation.”
The solutions presented by the Group at the exhibition follow this logic:
A visionary new solution for tube bending: AI is here now!
Through the integration of advanced software, artificial intelligence, digital services and mechanical innovations, a new way of approaching tube bending has been created.
An intelligent ecosystem that makes the process accessible to every operator: from guided programming with VGPNext, to the management, generation and purchasing of bending tools, all the way to the automatic calculation of technological parameters thanks to artificial intelligence.
This integrated ecosystem combines machines, software and services, eliminating dependence on specialist know-how and ensuring greater efficiency, quality and operational continuity.
A powerful fiber Lasertube for large-diameter tubes and profiles
LT14 FIBER is the fiber Lasertube system for tubes and profiles up to 355 mm in diameter and weighing up to 100 kg/m. Thanks to its innovative multi-fiber laser source, LT14 FIBER reduces cutting times on thin materials and ensures higher quality on thicker ones.
The three mandrels of LT14 FIBER guarantee optimal clamping based on thickness, diameter and material type, delivering maximum precision with fully automatic setup and significant time savings. Furthermore, with the “zero scrap” mode, the tail carriage detaches to cut the end of the bar and make the most of the available material.
Integration and scalability: key elements for future production
Lasertube, tube bending, 5-axis laser cutting and welding are the four elements that make up the robotic cell concept on display at the exhibition. Stand-alone technologies designed to be integrated with one another even after purchase, following a scalable approach.
This strategy allows companies to quickly adapt to changing demand, keep pace with innovation and optimize costs through gradual investments aligned with business growth.
The system, shown with an intermediate level of automation, includes LT6, E-TURN63 and LT-FREE and is engaged in the production of components for the automotive and motorcycle sectors. The robotic welding cell LW-S completes the processing of one of the parts, with some of its main components on display.
Bending from coil with mandrel: one single machine
PRO-RUNNER28 is the ideal solution for those seeking to combine productivity and tube bending with high aesthetic quality. This system integrates coil processing, mandrel bending and innovative technological solutions, all in a single machine.
Orbital cutting technology enables in-line cutting during the bending phase, reducing cycle times and material waste. Programming is simple and intuitive thanks to VGPNext software, which guides the operator step by step, from part import to simulation.
MyBLM: the new tailored consulting service to increase productivity and ROI
MyBLM is the service developed by BLM GROUP to support customers in achieving maximum production efficiency throughout the entire lifecycle of their systems. It is not simply a support service, but a structured optimization path built around the specific needs of each company.
The system start-up phase includes customized training and on-site assistance, with the goal of enabling operators to quickly become autonomous and allowing machines to reach stable and efficient operating conditions from the outset.
Once full operation is achieved, MyBLM supports customers over time through performance monitoring, process analysis and the continuous identification of improvement opportunities. The service helps optimize system utilization, maintaining high levels of efficiency even as production requirements evolve.
With MyBLM, investment in BLM GROUP technology is protected, optimized and enhanced over time, transforming the machine into a tool capable of generating ongoing value and productivity.
