For many users, bending still means producing small to medium-sized parts on press brakes that are too large. This limits them, because processing bending parts on presses that are too large cost time, space and sometimes also quality.
For parts of up to about 1500 millimeters bending length and a maximum thickness of 20 millimetres, these users do not need a large-scale bending station, but rather a small and versatile powerhouse.
The new ByBend Star 40 and 80 were developed precisely for such requirements – compact, fast pressbrakes that fit into almost any production environment. The mobility of the two ByBend Star pressbrakes is a significant advantage over large-format pressbrakes. Large presses must be placed in a fixed position in production and often take up a lot of space due to their design.
Compact and even more compact
Not so the new ByBend Star 40 and 80: the smallest ones from Bystronic bend as reliably as their big sisters in the tightest of spaces. Bystronic thus offers an ideal bending solution for production landscapes that are subject to constant change.
The ByBend Star 40 and 80 support users in flexible contract production with fluctuating batch sizes and highly varying bendingparts as well as in series production with recurring parts. For this purpose, the machines can, for example, stand next to a laser cutting machine today and be used tomorrow lined up with other pressbrakes for series production.
Speed, precision and bending power
The new servo-hydraulics enable bending speeds of up to 30 millimetres per second. This makes the ByBend Star 40 and ByBend Star 80 three times faster than a large pressbrake.
Compared to the ByBend Star 40, the ByBend Star 80 offers more bending length and more pressing power. This increases the range of applications. On a bending length of around 1.5 meters the ByBend Star 80 develops a pressing force of 80 tons. The footprint of the machine is less than 6 square meters.
Added to this are high bending speeds of up to 30 millimeters per second. This means that users can bend three times more parts on the small machine than on a slower, large pressbrake.
On the ByBend Star 40 and 80, the ByMotion drive control developed by Bystronic ensures the precise acceleration of the upper beam and backgauge. This results in a perfect interplay of speed, precision, and bending force. The result is bending processes with the highest repeatability.
Ergonomic design and energy efficiency
The new design of the ByBend Star 40 and 80 offers maximum functionality. Ergonomic contours make it easier for the operator to interact with the machine. Drawers in the lower side area provide storage space for bending tools and equipment.
This means that all tools are quickly to hand. An automatic clamping system simplifies setup of the machine: just clamp the tools and you're done. A height-adjustable folding table in the front area serves as a work aid and storage surface.
Bystronic paid particular attention to the subject of energy consumption during the development of the entire ByBend Star series: The economical drive concept "Dynamic Drive System" allows dynamic bending sequences without energy loss. The ByBend Star 40 and 80 supply the exact force required for each bent part.
Added to this are intelligent functions such as the Energy Saver and an automatic start-stop function. Compared to large models, the two ByBend Star pressbrakes thus offer almost unbeatable energy efficiency throughout the entire bending process.
