Bystronic Inc  

In order to offer sheet metal processing companies even better support in an increasingly competitive environment, Bystronic is now advancing into a new dimension of fiber laser cutting: ByStar Fiber with 20kW. This high-end Fiber laser cutting machine represents high precision Bystronic technology, a reliable cutting process even at the highest laser outputs, and with a wide range of applications. The technological leap from conventional 3kW to 20kW systems is tremendous.

With the 20kW laser, sheet metal processing companies can benefit from higher productivity with relatively low unit costs. The 20kW laser output now also enables extended applications in stainless steel and aluminum and thus offers maximum flexibility for customer orders. Regardless of whether cutting aluminum, non-ferrous metals, or steel, the high-performance Bystronic cutting head excels with maximum precision in both thin and thick sheets and profiles. 

The 20kW power level is available for the ByStar 3015 and the ByStar 4020. Bystronic’s new high-performance flagship utilizes the ByVision Cutting control interface via a 21.5-inch touch screen. Operating the machine is as simple as using a smartphone.

High performance BySoft CAM software

Modern sheet metal processing without high performance software is unimaginable today. With BySoft CAM and Plant Manager, Bystronic offers solutions that facilitate a digitally networked manufacturing environment that guides the user from the incoming order to the finished part in a fast and efficient workflow. Automation optimizes the material flow.

Powerful BySoft CAM software ensures ByStar Fiber’s seamless integration into the user’s process chain. Plant Manager for cutting option efficiently schedules, monitors, and provides a comprehensive overview of the production process.

Automation Solutions

In order to provide an optimal material flow to the high speeds of laser cutting, Bystronic has a broad selection of automation solutions available for the ByStar Fiber. The offer includes loading and unloading systems, sorting solutions, and individually configurable storage systems. Based upon the existing manufacturing environment and available space, a seamlessly integrated automated laser cutting process is adapted.

About Bystronic Inc.

Bystronic is a worldwide supplier of high-quality laser cutting systems, press brakes, automation, and software for the economical processing of sheet metal and tubes. Bystronic stands for reliability, high-performance innovation, an outstanding price-performance ratio, and user-friendly operation. The focus is on the automation of the complete material and data flow of the sheet metal cutting and bending process chain. The company’s North America headquarters is located in Hoffman Estates, IL. Offices are also located in Toronto, Canada, Monterrey, Mexico, and Colombo, Brazil.  

With the Xpert Pro 150, Bystronic presents a high-end press brake that sheet metal processing companies can adapt to their requirements on a modular basis. The new model in the Xpert series of machines meets the highest demands in terms of process speed and flexibility. Three models are available and customers can customize them with optional accessories.

The three models of the Bystronic Xpert Pro press brake will appeal to a wide variety of users: The Classic model is ideal for job shops with small batch sizes or for prototype builders. With the Performance model, medium-sized companies can produce larger series quickly and reliably. And the Dynamic model, with bending speeds of up to 3/4 inch per second, is ideal for companies that need even more speed to efficiently handle batch sizes of 1000 pieces and more.

Press capacity for the Xpert Pro ranges from 110 US tons to 350 US tons and can be adapted to a wide range of requirements. This enables materials up to a thickness of 5/8” to be bent effortlessly. In terms of bending length, there is a choice of either 10 feet or 13 feet.

Flexibility

The modular concept enables the press brake to be adapted very specifically to the requirements of the production environment – and in this regard, Bystronic goes one step further: If the requirements change, the configuration can be flexibly adapted.

The Xpert Pro is also flexible with regard to the use of bending tools because this press brake eliminates the usual compatibility problems. In addition to the large selection of Bystronic equipment, tools from other suppliers can also be used.

Precise and convenient bending

Precision is the most important performance factor of every production environment. Thanks to the tried-and-tested Dynamic Crowning, the Xpert Pro achieves precise and consistent bending results from the very first part. The LAMS angle measuring system is available as an option. This system compensates for varying material characteristics and rolling grain direction variations. Thus, the Xpert Pro reduces the need for tedious manual corrections while also reducing the operators’ workload during programming: The ByVision Bending offline programming solution determines the ideal bending process for every material thickness and bending angle. The Xpert Pro high-end press brake leaves nothing to be desired in terms of convenience. Bending has never been faster and more precise than with the new Xpert Pro from Bystronic.

With the ByTube 130, Bystronic is introducing a new laser cutting system that offers fabricators and manufacturers an easy entry into tube processing, a growing manufacturing market with a bright future.

In the past, many metal processing job shops and original equipment manufacturers have limited their operations to the processing of sheet metal. In doing so, they have missed out on sales opportunities. With the new ByTube 130 laser cutting system, job shops can now gain access to new customer groups. After all, the fields of application for tubes are very diverse: from the automotive and construction industries right through to furniture, machine, and equipment manufacturers. Exploiting this market potential is critical to success in the metal processing business.

The ByTube 130 is the optimal solution for sheet metal processing companies that want to expand their capabilities. The automated system reduces the need for manual interventions, making entry into the field of tube processing particularly easy. Since 85 percent of the market potential lies in the small tube segment, the ByTube 130 is geared toward the processing of tubes with diameters between 3/8 and 5 inches and workpiece lengths up to 28 feet. The machine has a loading capacity of 11 pounds per foot. Since 2D cutting accounts for 90 percent of the market, the 2D cutting head can process a large number of customer orders.

Fiber laser ensures speed and flexibility

The ability to process a wide range of material types and thicknesses offers users the flexibility required to manage a diverse range of orders. Additionally, the ByTube 130 has the potential to substitute complex and cost-demanding processing steps: A growing number of fabricators and manufacturers are discovering laser cutting as an alternative to the two separate processes of sawing and drilling. The Fiber laser performs both simultaneously – and considerably faster. Thanks to clean-cutting edges, deburring is also a thing of the past. This not only results in reduced labor costs, the higher throughput speeds also reduce the costs per part, which constitutes a huge advantage in the competition for the best price.

Software turns beginners into pros

State-of-the-art sheet metal processing is not possible without high-performance software. The powerful Bystronic ByVision Tube user interface is highly intuitive. All the functions relating to tube laser cutting are displayed on a single, 22-inch HD touch screen. Users can visualize realistic 3D part animations, create cutting plans, and monitor production processes with easy-to-operate software-driven menu selections. Even entry-level users without extensive experience can immediately operate the ByTube 130. Cutting jobs are set up quickly. Whether small series or large orders, with ByVision Tube, users move from the incoming order to the delivery of the finished parts in a quick and efficient workflow.
