Bystronic nominated for EuroBLECH Award

Recently introduced Bystronic ByBend Star 120 press brake

At EuroBLECH 2024, the Swiss company Bystronic — a leading global technology company in the field of sheet metal processing that has a UK subsidiary in Coventry and its own sales and service companies in more than 40 countries — will focus is on the automation of the complete material and data flow of the cutting and bending process chain (Hall 12, Stands B174, B146 and B130).

Bystronic says ‘the intelligent networking’ of laser cutting systems and press brakes based on innovative automation, software, and service solutions, is key to ‘achieving the comprehensive digitalisation of the sheet metal processing industry’, adding that one of the company’s highlights will be a ByCell Bend Star M featuring its advanced ‘Optical Part Detection’ system.

“This innovative technology ensures unmatched accuracy and efficiency by allowing the robot to identify and pre-position parts during the bending process. The result is faster cycle times, fewer errors, and increased productivity, all designed to boost your bottom line. Moreover, this system has been nominated for the EuroBLECH Award in ‘Automation and Handling’.”

The ByCell Bend Star M is based on the recently launched ByBend Star 120 press brake and fills the gap between ByBend Star 40 or 80 mobile bending cells and the larger automation solutions by combining a ByBend Star 120 machine with the latest robot technology.
