Automated Material Handling and Storage
March 1, 2022
The Bystronic ByTrans Extended compact material handling system yields greater profits through higher machine utilization, expanded operations and reduced labor requirements, according to the company. "Loading and unloading takes just 60 seconds so that the system is always faster than the shortest cutting plan," said a company spokesperson. "The short cycle time is independent of the thickness of the metal sheet and ensures greater overall throughput. It easily integrates into any ByVision controlled machine."
Available in three sizes with 11, eight and six material cassette spaces, the compact ByTower material storage tower can be fitted in a modular way to the ByTrans Extended, so that cutting capabilities of the Bystronic laser cutting equipment can further expand depending on the customer's requirements. ByTower improves material flow to the laser, and maintains process consistency by making raw materials ready to cut as soon as the laser requires them. Cut parts can be stored onto a cassette in the tower for increased unattended operations, or can be made immediately available for direct unloading.
Benefits include:
- Shuttle table is automatically loaded and unloaded, and the entire system better utilized
- Frequently used materials are immediately available because they are stored next to the machine
- Lightly-manned parts production can be realized to a high degree
- Shuttle table is freely accessible
- Flexible and simple to operate: Storing of raw material and removal of processed sheets is easy using a fork lift; return transfer of cut sheets is automated by the system.
