Product Portfolio
  • Laser cutting

  • Laser cutting is a thermal cutting process for processing sheet metal. The laser beam is created by the laser source (resonator), conducted by a transport fiber or mirrors in the machine cutting head where a lens focuses it at very high power on a very small diameter. This focused laser beam meets the sheet metal and melts it. 

    Bystronic uses two types of laser sources: Fiber laser and CO2 laser.

      • Fiber laser

      • Fiber lasers are the newest development in laser cutting. The laser beam is created by an active fiber and transmitted over a transport fiber to the machine cutting head. Fiber lasers are significantly smaller than CO₂ lasers and generate twice as much power from the same amount of current. A fiber cutting system is primarily suited for processing thin to medium-thick sheet metal. It also cuts non-ferrous metals (copper and brass).

        • CO2 laser

        • A CO2 laser uses a gas mixture to create the laser beam. The necessary high voltage in the resonator is created with the help of wear-free semiconductor excitation modules. Bystronic relies on such modules since they are smaller, more efficient and reliable than traditional solutions. The CO₂ technology is suited for all-rounders who process various materials and thick sheet metal.

          • Bending

          • Bending is a procedure for forming a flat, sheet metal workpiece. It immediately follows cutting in the processing chain. The workpiece lies on a bottom tool with a v-shaped opening. A wedge-shaped tool (punch) presses the workpiece into the v-opening and thus bends it to the desired angle.

                              • BySoft 7 Plant Manager

                              • What is the Plant Manager?

                                The Plant Manager is a unique tool with which you can plan and monitor all laser cutting andbending processes in both an automatic and informed way.

                                Which tasks does the Plant Manager assume?

                                Each ERP system is subdivided into individual work cycles in the production chain. One of these cycles is the general planning of cutting and bending processes. Here, the Plant Manager assesses and refines the planning automatically. In this way, individual steps and time are saved, costs are reduced, and error sources are eliminated. Furthermore, the Plant Manager initiates and monitors parts production and provides you with comprehensive statistical data.

                              • Robot Manager

                              • The comprehensive and powerful programming software for automated bending. With the Robot Manager, you control and simulate the robotics that are integrated into Bystronic’s bending automation solutions.

                                What is the Robot Manager?

                                The Robot Manager is a software solution for the macro programming of bending robots that form a part of Bystronic’s bending automation. With the Robot Manager’s 3D user interface, users create and simulate the required automation steps within an offline programming environment. This includes automated bending procedures as well as the feeding in of the parts that are to be bent and the unloading and stacking of the completed bent parts. Thanks to the integrated assistance and testing functions, the software facilitates the efficient and simple creation of programs.
