Be it for round or rectangular tubes, the
ByStar Fiber can be set up for a variety
of tube profiles in a few simple steps.
Tube Processing on a Flat-Bed Fibre
Laser Cutting Machine
Sheet metal working equipment manufacturer, Bystronic, has
introduced a new rotary axis for processing tube on its ByStar
Fiber flat-bed laser cutting machine, which offers up to 10 kW of
fibre laser power. The new equipment enables users to switch
between sheet and tube processing in a few simple steps.
The factory-fitted rotary axis, together with
a retractable tailstock, enables tubes from 30
mm to 315 mm in diameter and in a variety of
lengths to be machined. The operator inserts
the tube either from the outside through a
hatch in the ByStar Fiber’s housing or directly
into the machining area through the sliding
door along the side. Unloading of cut parts is
similarly rapid.

Supplied also is a Tube Cutting software module,
which is an expansion to the proprietary BySoft 7
programming software. It allows users to design
parts for tube processing, input existing CAD files,
edit them and generate cutting plans.
To support fast set-up times for processing a variety
of tube profiles, Bystronic has integrated an assistant
function into its ByVision Cutting user interface. Via
the ByStar Fiber’s touch screen, it guides the user
through every operating step.
