At Zeman Manufacturing Company, we believe in making things better—better parts, better processes, and better solutions for our customers. That commitment just took a major leap forward with the addition of the BLM GROUP LT7 Laser Tube Cutting System to our Lisle, Illinois facility.
The LT7 isn’t just a new piece of equipment. It’s a game-changing tool that strengthens Zeman’s position as a leader in small-diameter, high-performance metal tube fabrication. Engineered for speed and versatility, the LT7 allows us to process round, square, rectangular, and special-shaped tubes with unparalleled precision and efficiency.
Capable of automatic profile detection and adjustment, the LT7 offers seamless transitions between materials and geometries—whether cutting stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, or exotic alloys. Its integrated 3D laser cutting head opens new possibilities for angled cuts, bevels, and intricate geometries across a wide range of industries including medical, aerospace, energy, and transportation.
I'm excited expand our capabilities for our customers. These automated laser cutting advancements are especially powerful when paired with our CNC tube bending, end forming, and advanced inspection systems, and will help Zeman provide start-to-finish support for intricate tubing solutions.
