Bystronic hosts Competence Days 2020

Bystronic Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Bystronic Laser AG in Switzerland, held its Competence Days for the Americas 2020 event over 10 days in November for guests to view demonstrations of the company’s latest product releases and to see its new Experience Center in Hoffman Estates, Ill.

The event, held Nov. 9 to 20, offered morning and afternoon sessions each day that allowed the annual open house tradition to continue while adhering to local and state COVID-19 guidelines. Presentations, demonstrations, lunch, and guided tours were all part of the agenda in each session, and the company’s applications team was on hand to demonstrate each machine and its capabilities.

Guests viewed the company’s laser cutting and bending products, including the new ByStar Fiber 15-kW laser cutting machine with the ByTrans Cross automation component for loading/unloading, as well as the Next Generation BySmart Fiber, now available with up to a 10-kW fiber laser source.
