The Future of High Performance Manufacturing

In Booth A1819, Bystronic Inc. (Elgin, IL) will feature new and innovative, high performance systems that cover the full spectrum of file-to-part manufacturing: laser cutting and bending machines, automation and software technologies that are driving metal fabricators to new levels of productivity, profitability and success will be introduced. In addition, ByFinances will offer highly competitive and innovative financing options that make owning one of these systems a reality. Mobile robot automation meets high speed bending with their new Xpert 40 Mobile Bending Cell, a compact system for automated as well as manual bending to support fluctuating lot sizes and varying part complexities. To satisfy the increasing demand for high speed mobile bending systems, the Xpert 80 press brake has a bending length and press capacity greater than the Xpert 40 to open up a wide spectrum of applications for bending complex, small and medium size parts.

The Xact Smart 160 press brake combines high bend accuracy with advanced features in an affordable, high-value package that enables a fast entry into bending technology. Xact Smart is now available with a 5-axis back gauge, extended open height, and Energy Saver. Bystronic is expanding the bending process with automated tool changing: the Xpert 150 with integrated 6-axis robot tool changer is a compact automation system for users who want to save set-up time and increase productivity. Operators can prepare for the next job while the robot changes the tooling. The ability to work simultaneously and with tooling located directly at the press brake, saves up to 70 percent in set-up time.

Innovation is at the core of the 10 kW ByStar 3015 Fiber laser machine that has been designed from the ground up to meet the demands from high speed fiber laser cutting as well as cutting capabilities into the thick plate range. With its uncompromising high end performance, ByStar Fiber is designed for users who want to rely fully on fiber laser technology: from stainless steel, through to aluminum and mild steel, to non-ferrous metals, such as copper and brass. This system will be demonstrated with the ByTrans Extended automated material loading/unloading system. Bridging performance with lower investment costs, the BySmart Fiber machine is designed for users who are looking for quality machine performance at a lower investment cost. BySmart Fiber is available in 2 kW, 3 kW or 4 kW fiber laser power and with optional ByTrans automated material loading/unloading. The machine platform not only facilitates speed, it delivers outstanding cutting results with just a few operating steps.

High performance software is fundamental to modern sheet metal processing. The “Make It Easy” BySoft 7 software represents a new generation of design and manufacturing software that keeps pace with high productivity downstream equipment. Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a new software system that creates digital transparency across the entire process chain. MES allows users to plan, direct and evaluate work flows according to defined timelines. ByCockpit is new software that analyzes and visualizes the process data associated with sheet metal production and helps to identify opportunities in the production process­­.
