This device has been designed with maximum production flexibility in mind, enabling the processing of a wide range of materials and shapes while maintaining the highest precision and efficiency.
The ADIGE LT 8.20 cutting machine utilizes modern Fiber laser technology with power ranging from 3 to 5 kW. Fiber lasers are characterized by a series of advantages over traditional CO₂ systems, including significantly higher energy efficiency, lower operating costs, and better laser beam quality. Fiber technology provides a stable and uniform beam with high energy concentration, which translates to precise cutting with minimal heat-affected zone.
The main advantages of Fiber technology in the context of tube and profile cutting include:
The heart of the ADIGE LT 8.20 system is the advanced BLM GROUP Tube Cutter 3D head, equipped with a tilting mechanism enabling cutting at angles up to 45°. This innovative construction opens new possibilities in tube and profile processing, enabling the creation of complex geometries and preparation of elements for welding without the need for additional processing.
The tilting head function allows for:
The ADIGE LT 8.20 system is characterized by impressive technical parameters that make it a universal tool for various industrial applications. The device can process tubes and profiles with a maximum diameter of 240 mm and weight up to 40 kg per linear meter. Material loading length can range from 2.5 to 12.5 meters, depending on the system configuration.
The machine handles the following types of materials:
The ADIGE LT 8.20 is equipped with an advanced automatic material loading system that significantly affects the efficiency of the entire production process. The magazine system with a capacity of 5000 kg enables long-term operation without operator intervention. Automatic loading bars are quickly introduced into the processing zone while maintaining proper orientation, which eliminates the risk of jamming and material damage.
The innovative stepper loader enables loading individual tubes for prototype or small-series production, one by one, without interrupting the process. This system is particularly effective when processing open profiles, special profiles, and IPE beams. Additionally, the loader is reversible, meaning that the processed part can be unloaded from the original loading position.
For versions with loading lengths of 6.5 and 8.5 meters, an automatic tower magazine is available, which further increases system productivity. Steel boxes containing various tubes for processing are moved from the tower to the machine and back with each production change. This solution significantly shortens changeover times and increases system work autonomy.
Cut elements are automatically segregated into different unloading zones according to programmed parameters. The system includes a driven table at the front and back, a short parts conveyor, and a rear metal conveyor, typically used for waste. Such workspace organization enables efficient management of finished products and minimizes downtime.
The Active Scan system represents a breakthrough solution in material deformation compensation. This function automatically detects tube deformations caused by processes preceding cutting (transport, storage, forming) and introduces necessary corrections to the machining program. This allows achieving the same precision even when processing twisted or deformed tubes, significantly increasing the quality of the final product.
The Active Tilt function uses oscillatory movement of the cutting head to improve machining cycle time. The system automatically analyzes cutting geometry and optimizes head movement to minimize travel time between individual operations. This solution can reduce total machining time by even 20-30% for complex geometries.
The Active Marking system enables adding parametric markings on parts through programming position, text, and dynamic data for marking (time, date, part number, job, etc.). The machine dynamically updates information on each part, enabling tracking of entire production and ensuring full product traceability.
In the automotive industry, the ADIGE LT 8.20 finds wide application in the production of vehicle frame elements, exhaust systems, suspension components, and various brackets and consoles. The ability to cut at angles is particularly valuable in producing elements requiring precise preparation for welding, such as load-bearing frame nodes or body elements.
In the construction sector, the device is used for processing structural profiles, steel beams, facade elements, and support system components. The technology enables precise preparation of connections, execution of technological holes, and creation of complex structural nodes directly during cutting.
The machinery industry utilizes the capabilities of the ADIGE LT 8.20 in producing machine frames, transmission elements, hydraulic components, and various brackets and fixtures. Cutting precision and the ability to execute complex geometries significantly shorten the production technological chain.
In metal furniture production and interior equipment, the system finds application in processing tubes for furniture construction, decorative elements, balustrades, and exhibition system components. The ability to cut at various angles allows creating aesthetic connections without the need for additional processing.
The main advantage of the tilting head system is the ability to eliminate additional machining operations. Traditionally, executing welding bevels or angled holes required transferring the element to another workstation. The ADIGE LT 8.20 enables performing all these operations in one setup, significantly shortening production time and eliminating errors related to repositioning.
Cutting elements in one setup eliminates tolerances accumulating during transfer between stations. The result is significantly higher precision of the final product, which is particularly important for elements requiring precise fitting in welded structures.
The ability to execute precise welding bevels directly during cutting significantly improves the quality of welded joints. Properly prepared edges ensure better weld penetration, which translates to higher strength and reliability of joints.
The tilting head system significantly expands the range of possible applications for a single device. The ability to cut at various angles allows realizing projects with very diverse geometry without the need to invest in additional equipment.
Fiber technology is characterized by significantly higher energy efficiency compared to traditional CO₂ systems. The ADIGE LT 8.20 consumes an average of 16 kW power when cutting with oxygen and 21 kW with nitrogen, which with a laser source power up to 5 kW means a very favorable energy balance for the entire system.
Advanced nesting and material utilization optimization algorithms allow for waste minimization. The system automatically searches for the optimal way to arrange elements on the bar, compacting and establishing the best cutting sequence. This can lead to material savings even at the level of 5-10%, which with large production volumes means significant economic benefits.
The automatic loading system with a capacity of 5000 kg and the ability to work without operator intervention significantly reduce downtime related to material reloading. Combined with the automatic unloading system for finished elements, the ADIGE LT 8.20 can work in almost continuous mode for many hours.
Fiber technology is characterized by low operating costs due to the long life of the laser source and minimal maintenance requirements. The absence of need for resonator gas replacement and high-quality optical systems significantly reduces current operating costs compared to CO₂ systems.
The ADIGE LT 8.20 is a CE-marked Class 1 system, which means the highest level of work safety. Special glass and a completely enclosed cutting zone protect the operator from laser radiation risk. An independent safety system on the loader enables introducing a new tube package without interrupting production.
The system has been designed with operator work ergonomics in mind. An intuitive user interface, automatic loading and unloading systems, and minimal need for manual intervention make working with the device comfortable and safe.
Advanced cutting process monitoring systems enable continuous quality control of processing. Automatic breakthrough detection, material deformation correction, and irregularity warning systems ensure high reliability of the production process.
The ADIGE LT 8.20 can be integrated with enterprise ERP systems, enabling full control over the production process. Automatic reporting of work progress, material consumption, and production documentation generation significantly facilitate enterprise management.
Prometheus software provides reliable quotations and allows identifying the best production strategy for both individual parts and entire production batches. The system also enables logistics planning management, monitoring, and productivity analysis.
The innovative All-In-One solution allows integrating the Lasertube system with tube bending machines. When an element is cut and then bent, deformations caused by the bending process cause errors - the cut tube stretches, and geometries are no longer in the desired position. BLM GROUP systems communicate with each other and compensate for elongations to obtain the proper element on the first try.
