CNC Laser information can now be found on Ivan’s CNC Information website. Ivan has given CNC Laser cutting its own front and center webpage with tons of information on Laser Cutting that is Computer Numerically Controlled. Visit that specific CNC Laser webpage at: CNC Machines for the latest information on Computer Numerical Control Laser Cutting.

Computer Numerical Controlled Laser Cutting is part of Ivan’s special section on is CNC website that highlights various types of Computer Numerically Controlled Machines. Most of the Computer Numerically Controlled Machines that Ivan highlights on his website are popular with DIY CNCers worldwide, however, CNC Laser Cutting has not made it that far yet. Ivan talks about how CNC Laser cutters are still highly expensive and are mainly seen in the manufacturing world because smaller machines for Computer Numerically Controlled Hobbyists have not yet entered the market yet. The technology for Laser Cutters that are controlled by Computer Numerical Controls is still so new that its much too expensive to try to create your own CNC Laser Cutter in your own shop without plenty of financial backing and a very very large shop. You can see what else Ivan has to say about Computer Numerical Controlled Laser Cutters on his webpage that is all about CNC Laser Cutting at: CNC Machines

 Ivan also spends some time on his CNC Laser Cutting webpage talking about the differences between CNC Plasma Cutters and CNC Laser Cutters. He talks about the advantages and disadvantages of each type of Computer Numerically Controlled Machine and how CNC Laser Cutters make better CNC Machines for more precise cutting and specifically cutting on edges. Ivan is always updating these specific webpage’s with more information, so be sure to check out his CNC Laser Cutter webpage at: CNC Machine for frequent updates.

A powerful 5.2kW laser cutting/profiling system, when fitted with an automatic load/unload system, can increase by up to 50% with typically only an extra machine investment of 20%

A leading supplier of sheet metal working equipment, Bystronic UK, will be exhibiting a wide range of equipment from its extensive portfolio of products at the forthcoming MACH 2008 exhibition. Among the exhibits will be five products previously unseen at an exhibition in the UK. Two of these were launched as recently as late 2007.

* CNC laser cutting and profiling – the Byspeed 3015 machine will be equipped with a powerful 5.2kW resonator and the all new ByTrans automatic load/unload system.

ByTrans has been specifically designed for those companies that produce predominately medium to large size batches with a limited selection of raw materials.

It is a portal system providing vibration-free handling of the cut sheets and the choice of model is dependent on individual requirements and space constraints.

Bystronic told manufacturingtalk.com that production can increase by up to 50% when a laser is equipped with ByTrans, for typically an extra machine investment of 20%.

* Compact design – the ByVention 3015 laser has a compact design, which makes it the smallest laser cutting machine for full-sized 3m x 1.5m sheets, claimed Bystronic.

The machine requires just 6m x 6m of floor space and therefore customers can utilise even the smallest of spaces.

The control cabinet and the system’s laser source are integrated in the machine frame and form a single unit.

Additionally, the cooling unit and the used air filter have been combined in a compact, powerful unit.

The ByVention is equipped with an innovative Bystronic designed materials flow concept, which makes all parts instantly available and ensures flexibility when using various sizes of material and partially used sheets.

Cut parts are continuously and automatically transported from the cutting area and are immediately available to the user even during the cutting process.

The removal area is fully accessible; therefore removal of cut parts is simple and convenient.

The machine is offered at a fixed price with the cost including the Bysoft CAD/CAM software package, commissioning and basic training as well as the two year warranty and preventive maintenance.

Thanks to the ‘everything included’ concept, the customer knows exactly what the investment cost is.

* Water jet cutting – the ByJet Pro, launched at the end of 2007, is Bystronic’s latest waterjet cutting system to meet the stringent demands in parts production without causing thermal effects in the material.

The machine is encapsulated for a cleaner and low-noise working environment and the new ergonomically designed shuttle table maximizes machine productivity.

The system on show will be equipped with four independently driven slim Z-axis cutting heads and this, when combined with the shuttle table concept, positioning/cutting speeds and axes dynamics, is said to be able to produce up to five times as many parts per unit time.

Additionally, the efficient programming software, Bysoft CAD/CAM, and the control and monitoring of the cutting processes by ByVision, ensure that non-productive time and material usage are kept to a minimum.

* press brakes (brake presses) – of two new press brakes to be shown, the Bystronic Beyeler Xpert press brake is said to deliver the highest repetition accuracy on the market.

This machine features an extensive and expandable database which is available at the touch of a button.

The control panel, with its intuitive user guidance, allows for ease of programming and operation.

Pressure reference (PR) bending technology, with hydraulic-dynamic crowning, continuous compensation of the side frame deflection, pressure control and protection of the tools against overload ensures maximum angle accuracy to satisfy the highest of bending demands.

In addition a Bystronic AFM EP 31-100 press brake with a bending length of 3150mm and a press capacity of 100 tonf (1000kN) will be on show.

The machine provides an economical and flexible press brake requiring minimal set-up and programming times.

With its 2D visualisation of the bending cycle and hydraulic crowning system the AFM EP range is the perfect introduction into CNC press braking.

* Software forum – there will also be a software forum where the range of Bystronic software will be demonstrated.

At previous exhibitions this has attracted great interest from visitors.

* CNC punch press – in addition to its own range of products, Bystronic UK is a supplier of the Pullmax range of punching machines.

The latest Pullmax 520 CNC punching machine, equipped with automatic load/unload facility for unmanned production will be on show.

The machine is capable of handling sheet sizes up to 2500 x 1250mm and has a tool capacity of 200 with a 20 station auto-indexing.

In addition there is the facility to press flanges up to 75mm.

Commenting on the company’s presence at MACH 2008 Bystronic UK’s managing director, Dave Larcombe, said: ‘This exhibition is going to be one of the most exciting for Bystronic and visitors to the stand with so many new products on show.

The message we are conveying is clear, Bystronic offers an optimal solution for every manufacturing application’.

He added: ‘We are in constant close contact with our customers.

With our very open approach and by listening to our customers, Bystronic is able to understand their requirements and produce and supply products to satisfy their needs’.

* Price deals on the MACH stand – where companies are having to come to terms with increased interest rates, Bystronic is addressing this issue by offering a number of fixed price deals and special price package deals to visitors to the stand.

Further details will be available on the stand.

Larcombe concluded: ‘This pricing system was introduced with the launch ByVention laser and has proved popular amongst customers.

The pricing includes delivery, assembly, start-up and training, software, maintenance contract and in the case of press brakes, standard tooling’.
