Page 13 - MetalForming November 2013

Delegates from North American metalforming and fabricating companies got an up-close look at Bystronic’s latest CAD-CAM release, BySoft 7.
Bystronic Competence Days visitors take a look at the large-for- mat BySprint Pro 4020, with a 4400-W laser source and 2- by 4-m table.
setup remote from the control panel. Also on display, and introduced to the market in July, was the automatic nozzle changer available as an option on the BySprint Fiber—it’s been available for the last 2 yr. on Bystronic CO2 laser-cutting machines. When so equipped, the machine automatically selects the opti- mum nozzle for the job, and changes noz- zles in less than 15 sec. As many as 40 nozzles can be made available using five
magazine wheels.
As a completely new feature to its laser-cutting machines, Bystronic intro- duced its Part ID function. Using Part ID, the laser can be programmed to scribe a unique identifying and scannable mark on parts. Then, a press-brake operator can scan the mark on the laser-cut blank to automatically call up the appro- priate bending program—foolproof.
Last but not least, visitors were intro- duced to the ByAutonom 4020 (for sheet sizes to 2 by 4 m), technology Bystron-
ic showed off at its June 2013 openhouse at its North American headquarters in Elgin, IL. Designed for unattended auto- mated laser cutting, the machine (also available in the 3015 model for sheet 1.5 by 3 m) features either the ByLaser 4400 to 6000 power source, an auto- matic maintenance and condition mes- senger, and automated nozzle changing, centering, calibration and cleaning.
