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.

Leku-Ona Global Solutions again lent its support to the Errezilgo Kintopeko Idi Probak oxen tests, held from June 23rd to 27th in Errezil.

Some 14 pairs of oxen competed, with Oliden emerging victorious. Amongst other prizes, they received the traditional champion’s blanket sponsored by Leku-Ona.

Moving now from the mountain to the sea, Leku-Ona will also sponsor the 47th Getaria-Zarautz Swim Crossing on July 23rd. More than 2500 swimmers will gather in the Cantabrian Sea to complete the 2850 metres separating the two Gipuzkoan towns.

Leku-Ona Global Solutions supports Basque sport and events which are closely linked to tradition, held in locations close to its Itziar HQ in Gipuzkoa.

For more than 30 years, Leku-Ona has been the exclusive distributor in Spain and Portugal of products by FASTER®, a company recognised worldwide for its state-of-the-art and reliable couplings and quick connectors.

One of their latest innovations, launched at the most recent Hannover Messe trade fair, is a new range of hydraulic quick couplings under the name of Ultra High Pressure UHP 100 and UHP 150, which is a result of the strategic decision by the Italian brand to invest in R&D in order to offer top quality products aimed at the industrial sector and high pressure tools.

This has led to the new UHP couplings having numerous technological features that make them extremely reliable and easy to use, ensuring exceptional safety for the operators in all aspects of their work.

Faster has replaced radial balls with a Faster patented new technology. Our sector latching system prevents damages on the male groove caused by radial balls in situations of pressure peaks. We have introduced as standard a screw-on safety sleeve with a double visual check with two colours (red and green). This system indicates the complete and correct connection of the two halves.

Moreover, given the extreme working condition of their application (industrial cylinders, rescue tools, lifting equipments..), we have them tested and certified 100%. 

The special laser marking on each single couplings guarantees an excellent legibility of the batch number.

On Faster website it is possible to dowload a certificate that testify that each batch has been tested and approved according to Faster quality standards. 

First delivery is expected in May. Meanwhile, the new part numbers for UHP 100 and UHP 150 can already be ordered at Leku-Ona.

In the download section of FASTER portal, you can download the instruction and safety guidelines, with helpful information for a safe and correct use.

On May 7th a team of employees from Leku-Ona Global Solutions took part in the 10th Corporate Race organised by Adegi in San Sebastián. 

Participants in the 8.5 kilometre race along the entire coastline of the city enjoyed running next to the sea and the great atmosphere during the event.

Some 530 teams competed this year — a new record, with 60 more teams than at the last event. The race has been getting stronger year after year, and around 2,200 people took part this time.
Employees from Caf, JMA Alejandro Altuna and Schaeffler won the men’s category, whilst the mixed category was won by Salto Systems, Fagor Arrasate and IMQ campeones. The female race was won by the Clinica La Asunción, Eroski and Kutxabank.

Congratulations to all those who took part!
