The ByTube Star 330.
Launch of new ByTube Star 330
Swiss sheet metal specialist, Bystronic, has presented its new flagship for tube processing, the ByTube Star 330.
“ The new ByTube Star 330 tube laser redefines laser cutting technology for tubes and profiles. This modular, large 3D fibrelaser tube cutting machine is the only one of its kind to automatically process tubes and open sections within the diameter range of 19-305mm, without set-up time. With minimal manual set-up, even processing up to 324mm is possible,” Bystronic told ISMR.
“ The ByTube Star 330 offers the highest processing speed in the market for parts of over 250mm and 40kg / m. Fully automatic feeding and sorting increases productivity and significantly lowers the cost of labour. The laser source, available in a power choice of 6- or 10 kilowatts, ensures sufficient power to quickly cut even large and thick tubes or profiles with high quality,” it added.
The ByTube Star is designed to cut all standard closed and open rectangular profiles( C + L + H + I + U) from 19.05mm x 19.05mm to 260mm x 260mm and supports a broad range of diameters and different cutting processes.
Tubes of up to 12.8m fit into the loading area.
It offers a modular approach, with three different loading options that can be freely configured to accommodate various possibilities, resulting in a custom-made solution for any floor space. Upgrades can
be installed at any point. The integration of processes( such as drilling, tapping, marking and phase cutting) without manual intervention saves time and cost.
“ With laser power of 6- or 10kW, the ByTube Star 330 can also handle special requirements such as cutting thick tubes with bevel cuts, without compromising cutting quality. Options such as Laserscan, Weld Search Camera and Quick Cut guarantee high quality and safety in every work process,” continued Bystronic.
“ The 3D cutting head and the Quick Cut option ensure high speed and quality, even on very small tubes. The intuitive touch screen and tried-and-tested Bystronic HMI make operating the ByTube Star 330 as easy as using a smartphone,” concluded the Swiss sheet metal specialist.
The largest ByTube Star 330 design features a total length of 32 metres and total weight of around 40 tons. This facilitates a maximum loading length of 12.8 metres. n
