With the ByTube 130, Bystronic offers a laser cutting system that offers fabricators and manufacturers an easy entry into tube processing, according to the company.
"In the past, many metal processing job shops and OEMs have limited their operations to the processing of sheet metal," said a company spokesperson. "With the ByTube 130 laser cutting system, job shops can now gain access to new customer groups. The fields of application for tubes are diverse, and include automotive, machine and equipment manufacturers. Exploiting this market potential is critical to success in the metal processing business."
The spokesperson continued, "The automated ByTube 130 reduces the need for manual interventions, making entry into the field of tube processing particularly easy. Since 85% of the market potential lies in the small tube segment, the ByTube 130 is geared toward the processing of tubes with diameters between 3/8 and 5 inches and workpiece lengths up to 28 feet." The machine has a loading capacity of 11 pounds per foot. The 2D cutting head can process a large number of customer orders.
The ByTube 130 has the potential to substitute complex and cost-demanding processing steps. "A growing number of fabricators and manufacturers are discovering laser cutting as an alternative to the two separate processes of sawing and drilling," said the spokesperson. "The fiber laser performs both simultaneously-and considerably faster. Due to clean cutting edges, deburring is also a thing of the past. This not only results in reduced labor costs, but the higher throughput speeds also reduce the costs per part."
With the Bystronic ByVision Tube, the user interface is highly intuitive. All the functions relating to tube laser cutting are displayed on a single 22" HD touchscreen. Users can visualize realistic 3D part animations, create cutting plans and monitor production processes with easy to operate software-driven menu selections. According to the company, even entry-level users without extensive experience can immediately operate the ByTube 130. Cutting jobs are set up quickly. Whether small series or large orders, with ByVision Tube, users move from the incoming order to the delivery of the finished parts in a quick and efficient workflow.
