The SMART-ONE from BLM GROUP is an all new electric bending machine for tubes up to 0.86” (22 mm).

BLM GROUP USA announced today the North American availability of an all-new bender for small radius tubes: the SMART-ONE. This all-electric tube bending machine has freely configurable left- or right-hand bending options for tubes up to 0.86” in diameter. This new bender is designed to meet the needs of customers operating in industrial sectors such as HVAC, automotive and general appliances, offering a wide range of popular features at an attractive price. The SMART-ONE excels in cases of high operator turnover by streamlining and speeding up the processes that typically cause new operators delays through workflow simplification.

The SMART-ONE includes options that optimize safety, efficiency and repeatability such as:

  • VGPNext

BLM GROUP proprietary operating software assists to get parts right from the first bend via simple, user-friendly CAD/CAM programming.

  • Clever

This guarantees quality and repeatability by eliminating the possibility of human error and the time-consuming manual orientation of the part during loading.

  • Advanced Bending

This adds strategic machine cycles to optimize the system operation and movements for bending that makes the entire machine cycle faster.

  • Hands Free

This preserves the quality of the part during unloading and allows operator full use of their hands to control the part.

  • Stress Free

This optimizes safety, ergonomics and efficiency.

  • Robot Interface (option)

This automates the bending process to maximize productivity and safety.

BLM GROUP is continually developing new machines like the SMART-ONE that combine existing technology with new options to satisfy customer requirements at an attractive price point. The company is dedicated to developing and providing support/training for machines that produce parts of the highest quality.
