Technologies and innovations are constantly changing and developing, causing the machinery and production process to be up-to-date with better performance. This column will talk about ByStar Fiber technology by Bystronic in Fiber Laser Cutting, which is the leapfrogging technology at this time.
Speed, precision, flexibility: With its new output of 15 kilowatts, the cutting speed has increased by up to 50 percent compared to conventional 10-kilowatt lasers cutting systems. This means you can further optimize your production environment.
In order to offer you even better support in an increasingly competitive environment, Bystronic is advancing into a new dimension of fiber laser cutting: the 15 kilowatt ByStar Fiber. The high-end fiber laser stands for high-precision Bystronic technology, a reliable cutting process even with the highest laser outputs, and a wide range of applications. The technological leap from conventional 3 to 12 kilowatt systems to the new 15 kilowatt level is tremendous.
On average, thanks to the 15 kilowatt laser, the cutting speed of the ByStar Fiber increases by up to 50 percent compared to a 10 kilowatt laser source. This means that you can benefit from higher productivity at low unit costs, because thanks to its 15 kilowatts, the new ByStar Fiber cuts steel, aluminum, and stainless steel precisely and reliably in thicknesses between 1 and 30 millimeters, and brass and copper in thicknesses up to 20 millimeters. The 15-kilowatt laser output now enables extended applications in steel and aluminum of up to 50 millimeters and thus offers maximum flexibility both for large series and urgent customer orders. Regardless of whether cutting aluminum, non-ferrous metals, or steel, the high-performance Bystronic cutting head excels with maximum precision in both thin and thick sheets and profiles. The new power level is available for the ByStar 3015 and the ByStar 4020.
