Company : BLM
Model : E-TURN
Tube bending machine
The E TURN series from BLM GROUP is a fully electric tube bender that offers automation, flexibility, and precision for professional applications.
Main features
- All-electric technology, ensuring low energy consumption and reduced maintenance.
- Ability to bend pipes clockwise and counterclockwise within the same machine.
- Ability to bend with a fixed or variable radius as well as multiple radii in a single process.
- Support for pipes of various cross-sections — the series includes sub-models up to Ø 63.5 mm.
- Programming with a graphical user interface (e.g., VGPNext) with 3D simulation, program libraries, error correction, and rapid transition to production.
Technology and productivity
E TURN combines mechanical precision and ease of use:
- Electric operation creates a “clean” and efficient production cycle, with minimal maintenance and operator dependence.
- The ability to quickly change production, automated loading/unloading, and detailed planning ensures consistent quality results from the first piece.
- The accuracy of the axes (e.g., X-axis ±0.05 mm, Y/Z ±0.05°) ensures high bending quality.
Scope of Application
E TURN is ideal for companies that require:
- Pipe bending in applications such as furniture, automotive, industrial goods, HVAC, construction.
- Production with changes in pipe type, cross-sections, bending radii — the machine covers both small batches and serial production.
- High quality end product — the same efficiency for the first piece as for the next ones, with stability and repeatability.
