Rotary axis option added to fiber laser cutter

Product Release
Laser Cutting

Bystronic has added an integrated rotary axis option to its Bystronic ByStar Fiber laser cutter. The operator inserts the tubes that are to be processed through a hatch on the side of the machine housing or directly through the sliding door on the long side of the machine, which gives unlimited access to the parts to be processed.

The standard version of the new tube processing feature enables processing of tubes with a diameter of 1.25 to 12.5 in. and a variety of lengths. This module is an expansion for the BySoft 7 programming software. It allows users to design parts for tube processing, input existing CAD files, and edit them.

The company offers a rotary axis box as a mobile upgrade to process longer tubes. It enables tubes up to 10 ft. long to be fed through the hatch on the side of the machine housing for processing. The rotary axis box can be expanded with an additional extension box to cut tubes up to 20 ft. long.
