    Bystronic offers new 20 kW ByStar Fiber laser cutter

    Bystronic (Hoffman Estates, IL) has updated its ByStar Fiber laser cutting machine with a 20 kW laser output. On average, the ByStar Fiber 20 kW cuts up to 50 percent faster (when cutting with nitrogen) compared to a 10 kW laser source. The ByStar Fiber cuts steel, aluminum, and stainless steel with a thickness from 20 gauge up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), and brass and copper up to 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) with high precision.

    The system includes the SSC3 variable telescoping cutting head, which automatically adjusts the focal length and spot size. Additionally, the focal position is set automatically for each material. The ByStar Fiber 20 kW power level is available for models 3015, 4020, 6225, and 8025.
    The system includes the BeamShaper function, which adjusts the beam profile to ensure smooth cutting edges and high operational reliability for carbon steel materials with fluctuating material characteristics up to thicknesses of 1.125 inches (2.8575 cm). This function can be selected as an option when purchasing a new 20 kW ByStar Fiber or added later as an upgrade.

    Major technological gains in the development of cutting systems, such as double the kilowatts in some laser cutting systems, as well as a wide range of machine levels and power levels to select from, ensures laser, plasma, waterjet and oxyfuel cutting systems deliver newfound levels of performance. These reliable, flexible and precise systems result in higher levels of productivity for fabricators.

    BLM GROUP’s (Novi, MI) LS7 sheet laser cutting machine is a brand-new addition to its line-up resulting from the company’s most current technological research. The LS7 was designed as an entry-level product in the high-end system segment, i.e., a product with all the features and functionality of a high-end system, but at an attractive price.

    The LS7 has a conventional aluminum mobile gantry structure actuated by a rack and pinion system, which slides on a steel base filled with a special polymer to ensure high rigidity even with high accelerations up to 2g. The pallet change can be accomplished in only nine seconds, taking place on the long side of the machine. This speed is attainable thanks to a smart mechanical solution that anticipates the simultaneous exchange of the two tables. Handling is fully electric, without pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, for improved maintenance and energy usage. These features, in combination with the ability to use laser power up to 12kW, makes the LS7 a highly productive machine.

    The LS7 can cut steel, stainless steel, iron, copper, brass, and aluminum in thicknesses from 0.20-to-1.57”, or even double sheets, depending upon the material and selected laser power. It is available in two versions – the 3015 with a maximum sheet size of 121.5”-x-62.2” and the 4020, capable of handling sheet sizes up to 162.5″-x-79.5″.

    Users can add automatic sheet loading and unloading with one or two storage towers for automated material type and thickness changeovers, which is especially well-suited for unmanned operations.

    Another feature of the LS7 include plug and play operations that leads to fast and easy equipment setup, ability to integrate with ERP systems, as well as material handling and storage systems, leading to better interconnectivity. The system also comes equipped with the company’s patented Active Tools, which automatically adapt process parameters for optimal results independent of operator experience, ensuring the highest cutting precision and speed.
