Bystronic Inc. introduced its new ByAutonom 3015 laser cutting machine to the North American market during its Open House June 5-6. The two day event featured the ByAutonom and demonstrations on the latest precision laser cutting, waterjet cutting and bending equipment recently introduced by Bystronic.
Developed to operate autonomously, ByAutonom, in combination with an automation system such as the ByTrans, ByTower or ByCell, can be operated lightly manned. With ByAutonom, the labor tasks associated with laser setups and manned operations are reduced due to features like the Automatic Lens Cassette Changer, Automatic Nozzle Changer and Automatic Nozzle Centering, according to the company. With the latter, in the event of nozzle contact with a cut part, the system will automatically re-center the nozzle and then continue with cutting. Users have the option of incorporating the ByLaser 4400 or ByLaser 6000 watt CO2 laser sources. They also have the option of a rotary axis for the processing of tube profiles.
"The ByAutonom simply cuts more parts and works reliably. Higher output means that the cost per part is reduced," said Johan Elster, President of Bystronic Business Units. "The ByAutonom is bringing laser cutting from an art to a science," said Bob St. Aubin, President of Bystronic Inc.
"The latest generation linear motors accelerate the ByAutonom with higher speed, enhancing the machine with improved dynamics," said a company spokesperson. "The 3g axis acceleration is further supported by the rigid machine frame and the light-weight cutting bridge."
Also new are the Condition Messenger and Maintenance Messenger control systems. The Condition Messenger graphically displays the status of individual components to the operator and informs him when a component should be checked. These components include the laser source, nozzle changer, focal length changer and beam path. Integrated in the machine control package, the Maintenance Messenger displays to the operator when the machine and the laser source are due for maintenance.
