Bystronic Canada Ltd  

From the BySmart Fiber to the ByCut Smart, Bystronic presents the new generation of laser cutting machines with a sharp and modern design, as well as high power for every requirement.

Plenty of power

Laser power levels from 3 to 15 kW ensure excellent cutting performance and high parts output for thin to medium sheet metal thicknesses. Sheet metal processing companies benefit from this with a broad application spectrum. In addition to steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, non-ferrous metals can also be processed with world-class cutting quality.

Upgradeable with clever features

The ByCut Smart is extremely flexible due to its maximum degree of configurability. Smart features such as the Nozzle Control Tool (NCT) and KerfScan, the Parameter Wizard, and cutting with MixGas, in addition to more laser power, ensure higher cut quality as well as increased productivity.

NCT & KerfScan

The NCT provides automatic nozzle centering at the beginning of a cutting plan and after collisions. As a result, manual interaction from the operator is no longer required, reducing time expenditure by up to 95%. Centering is completed within seconds rather than minutes.

KerfScan also serves as a monitoring function, thus increasing process reliability. Through greater autonomy, customers benefit by producing less scrap due to incorrect settings, poor material quality, or hot sheet metal, which reduces waste costs and makes production with flame cutting more cost-effective and reliable.

This ensures consistently high process quality, a high degree of autonomy in lightly manned operations, and markedly reduced waste.

Parameter Wizard

In only a few minutes, the Parameter Wizard determines the perfect parameters for you with N2 and MixGas for steel with thicknesses of 4 to 15mm. The Parameter Wizard optimizes the entire cutting process and ensures its smooth functioning, guaranteeing the customer optimal utilization and improving production time without downtime.

MixGas

MixGas combines the benefits of O₂ and N₂ and is thus an alternative to cutting with pure nitrogen or oxygen. Cutting with MixGas massively improves cutting quality in thicker steel at increased cutting speeds. It also contributes to achieving better cutting results with steel of varying qualities.

More loading capacity thanks to a new shuttle table concept

With the new shuttle table concept, users load their ByCut Smart up to 40mm over the entire surface on both tables or 60mm over the entire surface on one table. Operators achieve a significantly higher maximum load on the shuttle table compared to the status quo of 30mm and can cut significantly thicker parts.

Better access

In addition, the new ByCut Smart design significantly increases user-friendliness. Different access door configurations provide perfect flexibility in the design. This includes front and/or side access as well as multiple windows with direct views of the cutting process. 

Completing with automation

For many users, automatic laser cutting is a decisive criterion for success. Automation solutions for fiber laser cutting provide clear benefits: They increase the utilization of the laser cutting system to the maximum and relieve operators of time-consuming material handling. Both lead to cutting orders being carried out faster or more economically.

Loading and unloading solutions can be selected in a variety of designs and degrees of automation. The Bystronic systems organize the material flow fully and semi-automatically according to the order situation and provide enough flexibility to process smaller orders manually as well.

The ByCut Smart 3015 is robust and stable, guaranteeing low operating costs: A fast cutting process and extremely low maintenance requirements guarantee a high machine uptime and longevity, and thus more profit per part. www.bystronic.ca 

With the ByBend Star 40 and 80 Mobile Bending Cell, Bystronic takes the next evolutionary step in the field of bending. There is now a mobile automation module for the ByBend Star 40 and ByBend Star 80 press brake. The result is a compact solution for automated as well as manual bending. Advanced machine design delivers high levels of dynamics. ByMotion drive control ensures a finely tuned interplay between speed, precision, and power. This bending system is unique, and it provides high application versatility. Users can process large lots with the automated bending cell; they can also bend small lots or individual parts manually when necessary. Just plug in and start bending.

Users can set up the robotic system on the ByBend Star Mobile Bending Cell 40/80 in just a few minutes. Simply roll the automation unit in front of the press brake. With a few simple steps, the robotic system at the center of the Mobile Bending Cell automatically aligns itself with the press brake. ByBend Star 40 and 80 offer flexible tool selection and integrated tool storage and are movable where it is needed when it is needed.

With the Mobile Bending Cell, Bystronic takes the next evolutionary step in the field of bending: a compact solution for automated and manual bending that supports today’s fluctuating lot sizes and varying part complexities.

Customer Benefits

• Control is seamlessly integrated into the press brake user interface.
• Manually bend small lot sizes and individual parts by day.
• Automated bending of large lot sizes by night.
• High-speed 6-axis back gauge control and multi-axis ram control.

BySoft Suite is a groundbreaking software solution developed by Bystronic for the sheet metal industry. It expands on the highly popular BySoft software products already used by most of Bystronic’s customers. With the new software solution, customers can now completely digitalize their business, from quote to delivery—a step beyond Smart Factory.

BySoft Suite is comprised of six software product families (Insight, Business, Shop Floor, CAD, CAM, Cell Control) that collectively enable the customer to digitally monitor, manage, and make decisions at each stage of their business process. The software suite allows better control and accelerated processes by providing immediate data in one place, giving them the ability to make changes when needed. This capability allows customers to adapt to ever-changing and unpredictable market challenges and to make business decisions with more comprehensive and centralized data.

With the new BySoft Suite software, any company in the sheet metal industry now has the opportunity to digitalize, regardless of size or current level of digitization. The state-of-the-art technology offers a hybrid solution, combining cloud and on-premise software, which makes it affordable even for small and medium companies. The software can interoperate with third-party business management systems and machines, enabling complete vertical solutions using a single data source.

“Thanks to BySoft Suite software, our customers can advance on their smart factory journey and now have the opportunity to digitalize their entire business, which gives them full control over what is happening and allows flexibility to adapt,” says Alberto Martinez, Chief Digital Officer at Bystronic “We have a complete software suite that interoperates so that customers have comprehensive data in one place. Customers who are using the software tell us they have decreased order taking time, for example, from three hours to just minutes, and improved accuracy.”

BYTRANS EXTENDED COMPACT MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM: The fastest and most intelligent solution for the loading and unloading of Bystronic laser cutting systems.

Bystronic’s popular ByTrans Extended 3015 (5’x10’ material size) and 4020 (6’ x 12’ material size) compact material handling systems yield greater profits through higher machine utilization, process efficiency, expanded operations, and reduced labor costs. Loading and unloading materials takes just seventy-five seconds, so the system is always faster than the shortest cutting plan. The short cycle time, which is independent of the thickness of the metal sheet, ensures greater overall throughput.

ByTrans Extended offers complete accessibility and optimum operation in a small, inline footprint and handles all sheet thicknesses up to 3/4-inch plate. Available with two raw material locations and one unload location, the second raw material location can also serve as the location for the unloading of automatically sorted parts.

Benefits

• Fast job processing - complete loading and unloading cycle takes only 75 secs
• Much higher machine utilization for only a slightly higher investment
• Designed with two cassettes, thereby making the machine system more autonomous
• Flexible use – not just for storage/return transfer but also for large parts removal as well as the preparation of plastic protective separators, which are placed between the metal sheets by the system
• Entry into lightly-manned parts production
