Sheet metal processors speed up their tube laser business with the new Bystronic ByTube Star 130, the high-end tube laser with the most functions. Precision, user-friendliness and a fully automatic setup with open profiles and ellipses lead to greater flexibility and quality in production.
With the ByTube Star 130 laser cutting system, sheet metal production operations enter into the tube processing business quickly and easily, thus gaining access to new customer groups.
Fully automatic setup
With the ByTube Star 130, sheet metal processors looking to expand their portfolios have the perfect solution for tube processing at their fingertips – fast, simple, efficient and with the most functions. The broad application scope for all metallic materials in sizes from 10 to 130 millimeters and raw material lengths of up to 8.5 meters opens up new possibilities.
The automated system reduces manual intervention to a minimum and thus makes getting started in tube processing particularly easy. At the same time, the machine covers an exceptionally broad range of needs: Since 85 percent of the market potential in the segment is in small tubes, the ByTube Star 130 is equipped for processing tubes with diameters of 10 to 130 millimeters. The machine has a loading capacity of up to 17 kilograms per meter. With the 2D cutting head, 90 percent of all customer requests are fulfilled as vertical cuts make up the largest market share.
Available in two power levels, 2 or 3 kilowatts, the fiber laser unit of the ByTube Star 130 scores points with excellent energy efficiency as well as consistent and even cutting quality.
Additional options enhance precision
Additional options can be configured individually and enable even more operating convenience and increased production quality, such as
- “Laserscan”: Real-time compensation for tube bending to improve cutting precision, i.e., high accuracy is guaranteed in all cutting conditions, even with low-quality material.
- “Quick Cut”: Greater speed for better performance thanks to an additional linear axis.
Automatic welding-seam recognition makes manually aligning raw material unnecessary. With Laserscan, the function independently recognizes and compensates for geometric deviations in tubes, thus guaranteeing accuracy in the cutting process regardless of raw material quality.
Left or right is not an issue
As the sole global supplier, Bystronic also provides the ByTube Star 130 laser cutting system in a design with a “mirrored” configuration upon request. This enables customers to select the optimal layout for their individual production flow. Although simple at first glance, the “mirroring” opens up benefits, while loading and unloading areas no longer get in the way. It reduces not only logistical effort, but also saves space and manpower. Thanks to faster throughput time, productivity can be significantly increased.
The ByTube Star 130 combines intelligent machine design and leading cutting technology. Its simple operation, broad application scope, and sophisticated options ensure that Bystronic customers always stay one step ahead of the field in increasingly tough competition.
