Bystronic has expanded the ByStar Fiber laser cutting system format to accommodate material up to 2 500mm wide and in lengths of either 6 000mm or 8 000mm.

The ByStar Fiber XL is available in two formats, 6225 and 8025. The larger format increases the machine’s productivity because large metal sheets allow the cut parts to be nested more efficiently. This also 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 currently be equipped with the Fiber 6kW, 8kW or 10kW laser sources, depending on the user’s requirement.

In addition to 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 in formats 4020 and 3015.
