The new ByBend Smart from Bystronic offers innovative bending technology and numerous new 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 in high quality and at low cost.

Enjoy more flexibility

One of the 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 inch. The additional 3.94 inch 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” 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.

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 the 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 inch per second (rapid movement speed) to 0.74 inch 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.

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 the 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 the suitable tools.

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, the ByBend Smart’s control system, the ByVision Bending, recognizes the parts' length and position as well as other material properties. The 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.

Introducing a new level of automation for maximum flexibility in the loading, unloading, and sorting of completed cut parts.

The ByTrans Modular automation system for loading and unloading laser cutting systems was designed by Bystronic to be expandable in a modular fashion to accommodate future individual needs of the user. From a single machine to multiple machines with material warehousing and automated parts sorting, ByTrans Modular offers multiple scalable solutions.

Benefits

• Automatic sheet loading and unloading.
• Automatic part sorting and residual sheet disposal.
• Increased speed of cut part availability for downstream processes.
• Single operator control interface for ByTrans Modular and BySort.
• Maximum flexibility with varied gripper selections and loading and unloading positions.
• Significant reduction of personnel costs and unproductive time.
• Minimal additional floor space compared with a non-automated system.
• Modular expansion of the laser cutting system with ByTrans Modular, BySort, and ByTower options.

Features

• ByTrans Modular can be loaded and unloaded with a fork truck or overhead crane.
• The second shelf can be used for raw material or cut part storage.
• Large parts removal with suction frame standard.
• Custom gripper module design availability.

Building on this efficiency of design, the ByTrans Modular with BySort option offers an automation solution for processing large series of individual cut parts that need to be unloaded and sorted separately according to jobs. Both the BySort and the ByTrans Modular are conveniently operated from the Fiber laser cutting system’s touch screen and easy-to-use Bystronic ByVision Cutting user interface. Available Models: 3015 (120x60) and 4020 (160x80).

With the BySort upgrade, ByTrans Modular is now an even more versatile unloading solution. Upon request, Bystronic equips the ByTrans Modular system with this new add-on solution which can accommodate up to two sorting heads. These heads are automatically tooled using the available gripper modules.

Both the BySort and the ByTrans Modular are controlled using the Fiber laser cutter’s touch screen and Bystronic’s ByVision Cutting user interface. ByVision Cutting integrates all the cutting processes and the connected automation solutions. During everyday production this allows laser cutting and the automated material feeding and removal process to be closely interlinked. Today, no user should waste time, walk long distances, and carry out unnecessary procedures, just because the laser cutting system and the connected automation solution have to be operated using separate terminals. After all, for the operator, automation also means convenience.

XPERT PRESS BRAKE: THE ULTIMATE BENDING EXPERIENCE

Bystronic’s enhanced version of the Xpert press brake incorporates a high-speed ram positioning system and Fast Bend+ safety system for reduced bending cycle times. The high-speed ram positioning system is capable of reducing bend cycle times by 15% to 35%, in reaching approach speeds of up to 600 inches per minute and bending speeds up to 47 inches per minute without sacrificing accuracy.  The servo-hydraulic Xpert 150 press brake with dynamic press brake technology is the only press brake on the market that introduces no angle errors itself with a ram positioning accuracy of .00015” inch. 

The Fast Bend+ safety system allows the machine to draw extremely near the sheet at high speed, so that slow movement is only necessary during the actual bending process.  This cuts the time required by approximately 20 percent.  Furthermore, it adapts itself automatically after each tool change and moves the machine to the correct tool height

without any additional intervention.  If a tool is not recognized by the system, the machine stops, making it nearly impossible to use an incorrect tool, which increases the safety even more.

Low energy consumption, less machine noise, and less heat characterize the Energy Saver.  As soon as the upper beam has reached the top dead center position after a bend, the main motor of the Xpert switches off automatically until the next bend process is started.  This does not change the operational flow and the process speed remains as high as usual.  However, it saves up to one-third of the energy, produces less noise, and does not produce any excess heat.

The Bystronic Xpert press brakes adjust ram position and crowning during the bending process in response to material properties. With the touch of a single button, the bending sequence and the positioning of the backstops are determined, the tool plan is created, and the process data is generated – all automatically.

Options

• Voice Control enables operators to utilize voice commands, via a headset, for typical manual operator functions.
• Optical Bend Guiding guides operators of press brakes safely through all bending applications. LEDs indicate the correct position of the tool stations, back gages, and bending sequences.
• Bystronic RF-A and XPT Tooling and clamping systems provide users with front-loading, lightweight precision segmented tools for faster tool setups, maximum operator ergonomics, and 100% compatibility with the Bystronic bending database at the machine control.
• PartID laser etched part code can be registered by an optional scanner unit at the brake and the desired bending program can be loaded automatically. 

These unique press brake features, together with the powerful ByVision Bending control, provide users with “the ultimate bending experience”.

Benefits

• Energy Saver option reduces energy consumption by up to 1/3rd
• Safety system Fast Bend+ increases machine safety and productivity
• Automatic bend sequence calculation and back gauge positioning
• Automatic setup plan and tool selection
• Dynamic material thickness detection
• Automatic compensation for tensile strength variations
• Dynamic crowning and frame deflection compensation
• Increased manufacturing efficiency through reduced set-up times and reduced scrap
