Bystronic UK has reported an eight-fold increase in waterjet machine sales over the past 12 months, puts down to the success of its new innovative Bystronic Byjet Smart waterjet profiling machine.

New machine sales in 2012, taking in laser, waterjet and press brakes, increased by 38%, compared with 2011, with the ByJet Smart becoming the best seller amongst the Bystronic waterjet cutting systems within only a few months of its introduction. The machine is capable of faster traversing and cutting speeds, without compromising the high-quality of the end product, with ease of use supported by the ByVision control software. The ByJet Smart also ensures low operating costs, thanks to the latest high pressure pump and ByJet HPT cutting head delivering optimised cutting performance. Bystronic says it is confident that its range of waterjet machines can offer the right solution for all user requirements, up to and including 16 m in bed length and four-cutting-head applications. Dave Larcombe, Bystronic UK managing director, said: "It has been fantastic to provide such a compact, affordable waterjet machine to our UK customers, yet with all the Swiss quality, reliability and support synonymous with Bystronic." Bystronic UK will be holding an event at its Coventry facility on 12, 13 and 14 March, where the Byjet Smart can be demonstrated, book online at www.bystronic.co.uk.
