Bystronic focused on the automation of the complete material and data flow of the cutting and bending process chain at the recent EuroBLECH exhibition. Bystronic says the intelligent networking of laser cutting systems and press brakes based on innovative automation, software, and service solutions, is key to ‘achieving the comprehensive digitalisation of the sheet metal processing industry’.

One of the company’s highlights on display was a ByCell Bend Star M featuring its advanced Optical Part Detection system.

“This innovative technology ensures unmatched accuracy and efficiency by allowing the robot to identify and pre-position parts during the bending process. The result is faster cycle times, fewer errors, and increased productivity, all designed to boost your bottom line.”

The ByCell Bend Star M is based on the recently launched ByBend Star 120 press brake and fills the gap between ByBend Star 40 or 80 mobile bending cells and the larger automation solutions by combining a ByBend Star 120 machine with the latest robot technology.

Also on display was the ByCut Eco laser cutter in combination with the ByLoader Flex automation solution. The new Bystronic ByCut Eco 3015/4020 with a choice of 3, 4 or 6 kilowatts of laser power is the right choice for entrepreneurs who want to get into the laser cutting business or want an uncomplicated fiber laser without many extras, said Bystronic.

The ByLoader Flex is an automation system for handling sheet metal on a Bystronic laser cutting system. If customers have more than one laser cutting system, the 2-for-1 principle of the ByLoader Flex is the perfect solution: a single automation system serves two laser cutting systems. Two laser machines can be managed simultaneously with one ByLoader Flex.

The stand includedthe ByCut 30-kilowatt laser cutter, a third shuttle table (shuttle table extension), the ByTower Compact combined loading and unloading system including storage tower, the new ByBend Smart E and the company’s software – BySoft Suite – which optimises and accelerates the sheet metal working process.
