Bystronic has developed a new loading and unloading system, ByTrans Cross, for its fibre laser cutting machines. It offers users full automation for producing long runs of components while retaining the flexibility of manual handling for fulfilling smaller jobs.

With the very high cutting speeds that fibre laser technology allows, there is a risk that the supply of material and unloading of completed parts and skeletons are unable to keep up, causing bottlenecks and reducing productivity. In such cases, maximising the capabilities of the machine requires an effective material handling system. With ByTrans Cross, the key benefit is its flexibility due to the modular design. It can be integrated between a laser cutting centre and a warehouse, but is equally suitable as a stand-alone solution to ensure efficient supply of raw metal sheets in various thicknesses and materials to the laser cutting machine.
