Waterjet cutting system

THE ByJet Pro is Bystronic’s latest waterjet cutting system offering an array of features including high productivity and precision, multifunctionality, and a clean, low-noise working environment.

This machine is Bystronic’s answer to meeting the most stringent demands in parts production without causing thermal effects in the material.

The ByJet Pro machine concept features extensive changes compared with the previous model and guarantees the user will be able to work more economically.

The new cutting bridge can be equipped with up to four independently driven, slim, Z-axis/cutting heads; the enclosure of the machine offers a cleaner and low-noise working environment; and the ergonomically designed shuttle table maximises productivity.

By using four cutting heads and a unique shuttle table concept, the system is able to produce up to five times as many parts per unit time.

Additionally, the efficient programming using the Bysoft CAD/CAM software package and the control and monitoring of the cutting processes by ByVision, also ensure that non-productive time and material usage are reduced to a minimum.

The number of operator errors is reduced significantly by the unit’s intuitive touch-screen-based menu guidance system, which only displays those functions that are needed by the operator at any given time.

Numerous processes, such as engraving, nozzle calibration or cutting carriage clearance adjustment, can be automated by means of the ByVision system.

Productive time is also increased by the integration of an automatic, maintenance-free scraper conveyor system.

Automatic process controls, such as automatic sand-flow monitoring, the diagnostic system for the high-pressure pump and the height-sensing system with collision sensor, permit lightly-manned operation of the system and ensure that the machine and the pump will continue to operate trouble-free for a long period of time.

Because it is available in a range of configurations, the ByJet Pro can be tailored precisely to suit specific production requirements. The number of cutting heads used for an individual job can be selected to match part geometries.

The basis for the high-precision cutting results is the stable, single-piece machine frame and the secure fixing of the material on the cutting table with the aid of a mechanical clamping system.

The machine concept, which has been trimmed to achieve maximum cutting precision, continues with the ByJet Pro cutting tool that consists of a user-friendly HPT cutting head (high-precision tool), a highly dynamic cutting valve and a height-sensing system with integrated collision protection.

Two individually driven, microprocessor-controlled pressure intensifiers guarantee a constant, linear, and infinitely-adjustable pressure flow from the pumps.

Bystronic’s highly competent customer service team, which is available to assist customers throughout the world, also ensures a long service life and lasting precision.
