It allows storing and automatic removal of material in bundles and in simple, rough or worked pieces and of various length and weight. The automatic warehouse of 10.105mm in height, has 2 towers, 1 elevator, 34 containers; with mobile shuttle for loading and unloading containers. Full capacity of the warehouse 102,000kgrs.

This new vertical automatic warehouse allows us to organize and optimize the storage of tubes, reducing the time of preparation of the orders and giving greater security to the operator in the movement of the materials.

 

We incorporate the new CNC tube bending machine par excellence, ETURN-52 Versatility for innovative solutions, product and service guarantee

In our desire to improve our service and guarantee the quality of our products, we have incorporated into our infrastructure the new BLM ETURN-52, the tube bending machine par excellence. Folds tubes from 8 mm diameter. to 52 mm . In-process right-handed and left-handed bending, with fixed or variable radius, in single or multiple radius mode.. The ETURN is so flexible that it adapts to any type of application from the interior decoration sector to the automotive industry. A unique versatility for always innovative solutions.

With the new tube bending machine we can develop our work without limits: Freedom of shape: with round, oval, rectangular tubes, pre-processed with holes or slots… Freedom of radius: fixed and/or variable. Freedom of orientation: flat, sideways, inclined. Freedom of bending direction.

RIGHT FROMT THE FIRST PART, WHATEVER YOU DO! 

It doesn’t matter if you are bending thousands of parts or just a few prototypes. Now you can make the first part a good part. It used to take great skill and a number of man hours to dial in a bend and minimize wasted material. Our 60 years of expertise has been condensed into the CNC control of the E-TURN tube bender. Changeover times are dramatically reduced as all the critical settings for the bending machine and tooling are managed automatically by the CNC including: clamps, pressure die, mandrel position/ retraction, center line radius etc. Using the B_Tools feature guarantees perfect results regardless of the operator’s skills. The first part is always right!

GUARANTEED REPEATIBILITY 

You can create an infinite number of virtually identical parts by exploiting the features of the industries’ most evolved bending technology.

WITH SOFTWARE VGP3D

The VGP3D three-dimensional programming software makes the real difference:

  1. it checks part feasibility, eliminating the risk of collisions which typically occur during the first practical try out
  2. it calculates the real production cycle time in advance, slashing the time needed to create customer quotes or determine feasibility
  3. it automatically generates the machine program.

AICON, new tube optical measuring machine 16 cameras allow accurate scanning in seconds

Leku-Ona already has a new machine (AICON) to improve the processes of measuring and manufacturing pipes. 16 cameras allow accurate scanning in seconds, generating the exact information to be able to execute production immediately. PRECISION, RAPIDITY AND QUALITY. The new machine acquired by Leku-Ona, allows a non-contact measuring system, merely requires that the tube to be measured is placed in an optical measuring cell. Sixteen high-resolution digital cameras with latest GigE technology accurately measure the tube’s geometry in a few seconds.


The tube does not need to be moved. The geometry is reported in an easily understandable way that is as sheath tolerance. The measuring range of TubeInspect P16 is 2,600 mm x 1,250 mm x 700 mm and this can be extended by repositioning the tube. TubeInspect P16 measures tubes with diameters ranging from 3 mm to 200 mm. Bends between 1° and 340° can also be measured easily. TubeInspect P16 has a newly added capability of measuring tubes with connected bends or with flexible parts.

TubeInspect P16 is also able to measure tubes with hose sections, shaped hoses, and hoses with fixtures or mounting attachments. Thus AICON extends the spectrum of optical measurement applications significantly. Tube measurements can be compared with a previously recorded sample part or with an imported CAD model.

Once the measurement is made in seconds, the information collected is sent directly to the tube production machine that works quickly and precisely.

Leku-Ona adds a new tube bending machine to its tubes section THE COMPANY HAS ONCE AGAIN PLACED ITS TRUST IN THE BLM GROUP BRAND WITH THE ACQUISITION OF THE BLM ELECT (ET 102), CAPABLE OF BENDING TUBES OF UP TO 102MM IN DIAMETER

Leku-Ona has recently purchased a new BLM tube bending machine that will complete the requirements of the bending section.

This means that the tubes section of Leku-Ona Global Solutions now comprises 6 bending machines with diameters ranging from OD: 4mm to OD: 102mm for bending carbon steel, stainless steel, copper and brass tubes.

The main features of the new BLM ELECT (ET 102) tube bending machine are:

– The three-dimensional VGP3D graphic programming software: verifies the real possibility of producing the parts, eliminating the risk of collision typical of the first test. It calculates the actual cycle time in advance, reducing the time needed to prepare quotes, and automatically generates the machine cycles.

– Multi-radius: the machine works in multi-radius mode or with different blocks for curves and reverse curves.

– Right or left: you can choose the direction of bending you use most.

– Fixed or variable radius bending in a single cycle: it can mount up to 8 tools at a time, deciding in which position (1, 2, 3, 4 … 8) to put the variable radius.

– It guarantees the maximum repeatability of the part and an unrivalled degree of geometric precisioneven in complex parts.

– It guarantees maximum control of the process: it controls and adjusts to the reactions of the materialand to its elastic return. The ELECT provides several thrust powers (from 2,000 N to 60,000 N), which can be adjusted during the entire bending phase.

Following the new acquisition and thanks to the investment the company has made, Leku-Ona now has the following bending machines:

  • – 1 BLM ELECT (ET 102) Maximum bending capacity from OD: 6mm up to 102mm Fully electric machine with right/left bending and 3D visual graphic programming (VGP3D)
  • – 1 BLM E-TURN (ET 52) Maximum bending capacity from OD: 6mm up to 52mm Fully electric machine with right/left bending and 3D visual graphic programming (VGP3D)
  • – 2 BLM-SMART Maximum bending capacity OD: 22mm in steel tubes and up to OD: 28 mm in copper, brass or aluminium tubes
  • – 1 BLM HYDRAULIC NCS832 Maximum bending capacity up to OD: 30mm
  • – 1 AMOB MDH 60 Maximum bending capacity OD: 60mm
  • – TUBE END FORMING MACHINES

With these machines the range of solutions offered to our customers continues to increase, in line with the search for excellence that characterises Leku-Ona, at the forefront in the sector.

INCONEL TUBE FORMING

Among the most complex tube alloys to bend we find the INCONEL alloy (nickel-chromium-iron), which is a common material used in engineering applications that require high resistance to corrosion and heat. This alloy also has excellent mechanical properties as well as an interesting combination of high hardness and good machinability, although it is unusual to find companies that master the bending process of INCONEL tubes.

Leku-Ona has a wide range of machines for bending tubes at its facilities, which enables it to work with diameters ranging from OD: 6 mm up to OD: 60 mm to bend carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass or INCONEL tubes, meaning the hydraulic facilities last longer.

Chromium awards it resistance to sulphur compounds and also resistance in oxidation conditions at high temperatures or in corrosive solutions.

Leku-Ona’s extensive experience in tube forming has enabled the company to offer new solutions in a wide range of industrial uses in sectors such as: renewable energies, ship-building, agricultural machinery, public works machinery, machine tool, forestry machinery, automotive industry, greasing or recycling, among others.
