New fibre laser machine for cutting large sheets

It allows metal sheet measuring up to 6.5m by 2m to be processed, whereas the other two machines in the range have maximum table capacities of 4m by 2m and 3m by 1.5m respectively.

There are numerous benefits with the bigger format. Material usage can be maximised when using larger sheet as more parts can be nested with greater efficiency, so there is less material wastage. The manufacturer’s BySoft 7 process software supports users with intelligent nesting procedures.

More parts can be produced per cutting cycle before the next sheet is loaded so productivity is raised. Additionally, the variety of applications is increased, as larger single components may be cut without having to interrupt the machine in-cycle to reposition the sheet.

As with the smaller BySprint Fiber machines, the larger 6520 model can be equipped with a 3, 4 or 6kW fibre laser source. There is no compromise on speed, with maximum simultaneous positioning of the axes being the same at 140m/minute.
