As productivity levels have increased due to the introduction of high-speed Fiber laser cutting systems, so has the demand for additional bending throughput and capacity. Offline programming capabilities have certainly freed up additional press brake capacity; however, in most cases, there is still a need for further increases. One of the biggest opportunities to gain additional throughput and capacity is with press brake automation.

Bystronic and NanoLock enter a partnership to jointly develop software solutions and protect systems against cyber attacks. This is a key building block for Bystronic’s smart factory vision and demonstrates the group’s dedication to pioneering new solutions for the sheet metal processing industry.

With the uncertainty of today’s supply chains and the rising cost of raw materials, automated material storage systems provide a reliable buffer for metal fabricators.

Single use and then off to the dump: Our linear economic model exhausts vast quantities of finite resources. The circular economy is meant to change this. This paradigm shift poses a challenge to the mechanical engineering industry, but also presents opportunities, particularly through new business models.

The new ByBend Smart increases the flexibility and in particular the speed of bending. Thanks to its numerous functions and options, the new machine offers the decisive plus in bending technology at an attractive price.

Advancements in high-power Fiber laser cutting technology continue at an incredible pace and the benefits are quickly being realized by fabricators. Power levels up to 20kW are quickly being adopted for sheet metal cutting and the speed and throughput of these laser cutting systems are setting new standards in productivity and efficiency.

The mechanic Martin Fischer skillfully balances between the worlds of metal and art. His passion: elegant pendulum clocks, for which he requires precision parts. He has these cut on a Bystronic laser system at Al-Cut.
