Bystronic Inc  

ByBend Smart from Bystronic offers innovative bending technology and
numerous new "smart" functions at an affordable price. This is its recipe for success. From the very onset, Bystronic designed this press brake to offer a performance package with
intelligent functions that enable users to produce parts of high quality and at low cost.

Enjoy more flexibility

One of ByBend Smart’s flexibility-enhancing features is the “Daylight and Stroke
Expansion”. This feature, which is available with the purchase of a new machine,
extends the daylight and stroke from 18.9 to 22.9 inches. The additional 3.94 inches
boosts the ByBend Smart’s flexibility by as much as 30 percent because this means that
it can use taller tools, enabling users to produce parts with taller bending sides. This is
particularly useful when bending boxes and drawers.

Efficiency Booster and Energy Saver options

The “Efficiency Booster” option increases not only the bending speed but also the ram
retract speed by up to 20 percent over conventional ram retract speeds. “Energy
Saver” option: The machine’s main drive is only active when the machine is actually in
operation, reducing energy consumption by 40 percent

“Fast Bend M” option

The “Fast Bend M Safety System” option consists of a laser safety system that allows
the upper beam to move almost all the way to the part that is being processed at rapid
movement speed. The high-precision laser sensor allows the ByBend Smart’s control to
reduce the upper beam’s speed from up to 7.0 inches per second (rapid movement
speed) to 0.74 inches per second (bending speed) just before reaching the metal sheet.
The laser safety system functions like an intelligent brake assistant that permits the
machine to move at a higher speed for longer. This offers users a speed advantage of
up to 30 percent.

“Electric Lifting Aid” option

During the bending process, the “Electric Lifting Aid” option increases material
handling flexibility and operator ergonomics for large parts up to 220 lbs per unit. The
control synchronizes the movement of the lifting aids with the actual bending process
and the vertical movement of the upper beam.

Intelligent “ByVision Bending” control for simple operation

When it comes to bending technology, simple operation is a key factor for many users.
Load the bending plan, set up the machine, and start bending – this is precisely what the
ByBend Smart and the “ByVision Bending” user interface offer. ByVision Bending is
included in ByBend Smart’s basic version. Operators launch all the bending processes
with just a few swipes of the finger on a 22-inch touch screen. ByVision Bending has an
extensive database that includes the parameters for all the common types of sheet
metal and bending tools. Depending on the material thickness and bending angle, the
user interface determines the ideal bending process and suggests suitable tools.

“Active Hydraulic Crowning” feature

The “Active Hydraulic Crowning” feature ensures high-precision air bending results.
This unique function is only available in this form with press brakes from Bystronic.
Thanks to extremely accurate pressure sensors and ByBend Smart’s control system, the
ByVision Bending recognizes the parts' length and position as well as other material
properties. ByVision Bending control enables the ByBend Smart to automatically ensure
the ideal distribution of the bending force across the entire bending length without
requiring the operator to deal with complicated details. This results in precise and
consistent angles across the entire bending length.

Plenty of power: Laser power levels from 3 to 15 kW ensure excellent cutting performance and high parts output for a variety of material types and thicknesses. Depending on production requirements and customer requests, the ByCut Smart 3015 is available in a range of fiber laser powers that include 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15kW.

Sheet metal processing job shops and OEMs 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

ByCut Smart is extremely flexible. 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 cutting 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.

All of this ensures consistently high process quality and a high degree of autonomy in lightly-manned operations plus a marked reduction in 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 15 millimeters. The Parameter Wizard optimizes the entire cutting process and ensures its smooth functioning, which guarantees the customer optimal utilization and improved production time without downtime.

MixGas: MixGas combines the benefits of O2 and N2, and is an alternative to cutting with pure nitrogen or oxygen. Cutting with MixGas massively improves cutting quality in thicker steel at increased cutting speeds. Additionally, MixGas contributes to improved cutting results with varying qualities of steel. The higher the laser power, the greater the advantage.

More loading capacity thanks to a new shuttle table concept

A further benefit speaks in favor of the new laser cutting machine: With the new shuttle table concept, users load their ByCut Smart up to 40 millimeters over the entire surface on one table. This means operators achieve a significantly higher maximum load on the shuttle table compared to the status quo of 30 millimeters and thus cut significantly thicker parts.

Better access

The new ByCut Smart has a new sharp and modern look that matches the machine's performance. Furthermore, the new 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. Overall, the new design offers better access to the interior space as a result.

Completing with automation

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

The Bystronic software and automation solutions optimally integrate ByCut Smart into your sheet metal production.

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

ByCut Smart 3015 proves itself to be 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.
