The introduction of the ByCell Bend Star M by Bystronic marks a significant advancement in automated bending technology. Designed to operate seamlessly in various production environments, the ByCell Bend Star M is based on the ByBend Star 120 press brake. This compact, modular system bridges the gap between smaller mobile bending robots and larger, more complex bending cells, thus catering to a wide range of manufacturing needs. The system offers an efficient solution for both small and large companies, capable of handling everything from small batches to large series of parts without losing precision or efficiency.
With its footprint of 21.32 by 20.34 feet, the ByCell Bend Star M is a space-efficient addition to any production floor. Equipped with RF-AC tooling, it features automatic tool changes executed through the robot, enhancing its versatility. One of the standout features is the innovative vision system, which eliminates the need for referencing, thereby saving 10 to 15 seconds per part. This not only speeds up the production process but also reduces the potential for human error, ensuring a more streamlined operation. Furthermore, the press brake included in the system is capable of managing small to medium-sized parts with various sheet thicknesses and lengths up to 6.72 feet. Overall, the ByCell Bend Star M presents itself as an efficient, error-free automated solution for diverse bending applications in the manufacturing industry.
