Critical business decisions require accurate and reliable data. With over
25 years of RFID experience, Balluff has left nothing to chance in identification. Allowing up to 4 HF and LF read/write heads combined with local I/O, Balluff sets the new standard for traceability in industrial identification with the introduction of the BIS V processor.
Automated Laser Cells, Press Brakes and Software
Bystronic Inc. Booth S1731
Bystronic, Elgin IL, will showcase its CO2- and fiber-based laser-cutting products, including ByAutonom and BySprint fiber systems equipped with ByTrans Extended. Also on display will be servo-hydraulic and servo- electric based press brakes, and the newly released Bysoft 7 pro- gramming system with full ERP inter-
face capabilities. Featured at the booth will be the ByAu- tonom 3015 with ByLaser 6000. ByAutonom auto- mated functions virtually eliminate operator intervention, reducing nonproductive time and lowering cost per part. Automated features include nozzle changing and centering, nozzle calibration, nozzle cleaning, lens cassette changing and auto-focus. Sensors detect nozzle contact with adjacent parts and automatically correct nozzle centering. An automatic maintenance and con- dition messenger informs operators of machine maintenance tasks and current machine condition status. www.bystronic.com
Shuffle-Drive Technology for Handling Laser-Cutting
and Small Press Scrap
Mayfran International Booth S4590
Mayfran, Cleveland, OH, will display
its patented shuffle-drive conveying
products for handling small press scrap
and for laser-cut parts and scrap. In the
booth: a new vertical spiral shuffle-
drive, a small press-mount shuffle-drive,
a horizontal shuffle and a traditional chip
conveyor. All of the equipment will be in operation so visitors can watch how scrap material moves horizontally and vertically.
Using a patented compact design, the machines can handle small presses with

Triform Sheet Hydroforming, Fenton, MO, will demonstrate next-generation sheet- hydroforming technology. On display: a CNC-controlled deep-draw press, and a demonstration that includes ESI’s Pam-Stamp 2G forming-simulation software, to high- light the natural synergy of the two technologies and demonstrate convenience, speed and savings.
The software grants Triform owners the ability to accurately simulate the forming process without actual tooling or material. Once the process is proven, Triform’s advanced form- ing capability and inexpensive tooling requirements allow for a quick realization of the simulation. Users will enjoy precise, repeatable and programmable press control.
Also being demonstrated: Triform’s fast changeover time, use of 3D-printed tool- ing and onboard bar-code scanning. www.triformpress.com
