An impressively high cutting speed, an intelligent cutting process, and a new design: this is how the new ByCut Star presents itself. With 30 kilowatts and an optimized cutting process, it now cuts steel, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and copper precisely and reliably – for even more quality.
The flagship of the Bystronic laser cutting machines is now available with a 30-kilowatt output. Companies in the sheet metal processing industry are thus further optimizing their production – also thanks to the smart features of the new fiber laser.
Higher cutting quality and productivity thanks to newly even more laser power, but thanks also to smart features: In order to support sheet metal processors even better in the growing competition, Bystronic is now advancing into a new dimension of fiber laser cutting: the ByCut Star with impressive 30 kilowatts of laser power. The high-end fiber laser stands for high-precision Bystronic technology, a stable cutting process up to the highest laser powers, and for a wide range of applications. With it, sheet metal processors are taking a further major step in terms of productivity and efficiency.
Stay ahead of the competition
However, to be successful on the market, sheet metal workers need not only a lot of laser power, but also intelligence, reliability, and sustainability. High performance certainly brings a lot, but it is the combination with intelligent processes and properties that makes the laser cutting process really satisfying and successful.
Thus, customer success is built on a concept of three pillars at Bystronic: Power, Intelligence, and Cutting Process Improvement. – e.g., with the MixGas technology.
Smart features, such as the “Intelligent Cutting Process (ICP)”, the “Nozzle Control Tool (NCT) with KerfScan” or the “Parameter Wizard” optimize the entire cutting process and ensure that it stays on track, guaranteeing the customer optimum capacity utilization and improving the production uptime without production downtime.
Smart features make the difference
Smart features on the new Bystronic flagship help the sheet metal processors to obtain the most of quality.
NCT & KerfScan is a smart feature package for oxygen cutting and increases the process reliability even in low-manned operations. This feature offers process monitoring, problem solving and continuation of the cutting process in a fully automatic way.
The “Parameter Wizard” ensures that the correct quality of the cut parts is always selected – by obtaining the perfect parameter within minutes. Even for inexperienced or less experienced operators. In just a few minutes, this feature determines the perfect parameters with N2 and MixGas for steel from 4 to 15 mm in thickness.
Intelligent Cutting Process ICP is a new feature, where a coaxial camera is filming through the nozzle and looking directly into the cutting process.
In this way, Bystronic customers benefit from outstanding cutting results with clever features.
The new powerful Bystronic flagship is also controlled a 21.5-inch touchscreen. Handling is as simple as operating a smartphone.
In addition, the new ByCut Star is a striking appearance: modern, sharp contours provide a striking appearance and match the performance of your machine. Not only that: User-friendliness is significantly increased by the new design. The great advantage of the design of the new ByCut Star is its flexibility. Thus, there is front and/or side access as well as several windows with a view directly to the cutting process. In general, the new design offers better accessibility to the interior. The machine is easier to place on the store floor thanks to more flexible layouts.
Fiber laser cutting with mixed gas – ensures better cutting quality and higher productivity
In laser cutting, cutting gas (especially N2 and MixGas) is used to keep both the laser and the sheet free of impurities and remove molten material. Nitrogen is used for so-called fusion cutting, and oxygen for flame cutting. Gas mixing combines the benefits of O2 and N2 and thus is an alternative to pure nitrogen or oxygen cutting. Cutting with MixGas (a specific blend of Nitrogen/Oxygen) ensures perfect quality on steel at increased cutting speed. This helps even an inadequate steel to achieve a good result after the cutting process.
For in-house gas production with a N2 generator, Bystronic has a solution ready that is attractive from a cost perspective and environmentally friendly. The advantages are obvious: There is no need for transports by trucks when gas is delivered. One produces only as much nitrogen as is needed, and all the previous additional costs are eliminated – from filling the cylinders to replacing them. The sheet metal processor works completely autonomously and – independent from any gas supplier – is doing something for the environment in the process.
