The BLM Group has always focused on proposing something
OFFICE
much more important and strategic than a single machine or
product, assuring its customers a really efficient production
process in which the reliability of its solutions is combined with
a wide range of dedicated and specific software instruments to

bring out the best of it. This is the value guaranteed by the BLM
Group; this is the value that makes BLM stand out and
renowned on an international scale.
Process efficiency

Efficiency: it is one of the most important
characteristics of any industrial production
process. Product quality is a characteristic
taken for granted and reliability a
simple starting point to launch a new commercial
product both in terms of supply and
procurement. Time loss, material waste, scrap
and any other “symptom” of inefficiency within
the production process are no longer costs
that can burden market prices. Therefore, the
“challenge” also regards the organisation of
production logics and strategies related to the
single processing phases to eliminate or at
least reduce whatever is not an added value
to the finished product.
The BLM Group works with the same logic, but
above all proposes and extends it to its customers.
All the efforts made to manufacture innovative,
quality, flexible and reliable machines
would be vain without tools (i.e. software instruments)
able to exploit them to the maximum
and above all to include each processing phase
in a global and efficient logic context.
Over the years, the BLM Group has developed
in-house software environments useful not
only to simplify machine programming, but
also for production planning, preliminary
checking of single programmes, process simulation
and estimation of time and production
costs. All the above to guarantee, once
again for quality control and most of all process
efficiency.
From machine programming…
To complete its laser cutting systems, ADIGE
has developed an in-house CAD/CAM environment
called Artube that covers all the advantages
already offered by the laser tube during
the workpiece design phase and exploits
them at the best. The result is, once again, not
“only” workpiece quality but also the guarantee
of carrying out the entire production
within times and with modes that are the most
advantageous for the customer. Among the
various specific functions offered by ADIGE
laser machines we can mention: minimum bar
swarfs, optimisation of discharging position in
relation to the workpiece length and type,
management of automatic cutting technology,
possibility of adapting the process to the
quality of the raw material if deformed or covered
with rust (for example).
… to hourly cost estimation
once the machine programme has been created,
it is necessary to estimate the workpiece
