Introducing Larger Format Laser Cutting
Bystronic is expanding the ByStar Fiber laser cutting system format to accommodate material 8 ft. wide.
Posted: January 27, 2020
The new ByStar Fiber XL from Bystronic (Elgin, IL) is available in two formats, 6225 and 8025. Users can process material 8 ft. wide and in 20 ft. or 26 ft. lengths. This increases the machine’s productivity, because large metal sheets allow the cut parts to be nested more efficiently. This also significantly reduces undesirable raw material remnants. In addition, large parts can be processed without repositioning.
The Bystronic BySoft 7 software supports the user in this process with intelligent nesting algorithms. The new ByStar Fiber XL can be equipped with the Fiber 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000 or 12000 laser sources, depending on the user’s requirement.
Besides cutting applications with extra-wide metal sheets, the ByStar Fiber XL format also enables smaller sheets to be processed by lining them up on the ByStar Fiber’s long cutting table. Users can simply prepare sufficient raw material, in order to subsequently allow the fiber laser cutting system to cut the sheets consecutively without interrupting the cutting process for a longer period of time.
Bystronic also offers the ByStar Fiber Laser Cutter in the formats 4020 and 3015.
