Laser, Bending, Waterjet Software

Bystronic Inc. offers its latest software features for its laser, bending and waterjet product lines.

PartID is the latest feature of the Bystronic BySoft 7 CAD/CAM software. The identification code is generated with BySoft 7 and then laser engraved onto the part utilizing a Bystronic laser cutting system. At the press brake, the PartID is subsequently registered by a scanner unit and the desired bending program can be loaded automatically. Parts marked with PartID can also provide part traceability.

OPC interface is installed on Bystronic laser cutting machines and collects information about the manufacturing progress on laser and waterjet cutting systems. Users can transmit this information to their own monitoring systems. The OPC interface provides an important basis to increase the degree of utilization and the efficiency of cutting systems, according to the company.

New Observer is a passive remote monitoring system that keeps users up to date on the operating status of their systems and how the processing of orders is progressing. Observer is accessed by means of web-enabled terminals, such as desktops, notebooks, tablet computers and smart phones. "Observer increases the process reliability of cutting systems," said a company spokesperson. "Orders can be calculated in a reliable and efficient manner because unscheduled idle times and deviations from the planned time per piece are reduced."
