Everyone is talking about Qatar, the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The emirate in the Persian Gulf is currently not only building stadiums, however, but also changing its entire infrastructure. Among those involved is a cunning salesman who is shaping the country’s new image using technology from Niederönz.

Bystronic, together with many guests, celebrated the official integration of TTM Laser into the Bystronic Group. The event also opened the new Experience Center and offered a world premiere of the new laser cutting system ByTube 130.

With Bystronic’s help, MKW is getting started in laser cutting. The Austrian family-owned enterprise invested in highly modern machinery for sheet metal processing. For laser cutting, they chose a ByStar Fiber with the automation solution ByTrans Cross.

Higher speed and an expanded cutting spectrum. The ByStar Fiber from Bystronic is being enhanced with a 12 kilowatt laser and the new "BeamShaper" function. In addition, a newly designed cutting head ensures consistent cutting quality up to a sheet thickness of 30 millimeters.

With the “TiltPrevention” assistant function, Bystronic is increasing process reliability in the field of laser cutting. The intelligent function enables users to create cutting sequences that minimize the risk of creating protruding parts in the sheet.

What opportunities is the vision of the smart factory opening up for sheet metal processing companies? What role will machine tools and software play? And how is Bystronic supporting users on their path towards the smart factory? Bystronic CTO Dr. Christoph Rüttimann answers these questions in an interview with the German trade magazine Industrie Anzeiger.

Modern Expo came, saw, and produced. In record time, the retail outfitter has built a state-of-the-art production facility from scratch in Belarus and has been enhancing production based on lean principles year after year ever since. The vision: To enhance and reinvent the shopping experience.

Bystronic has enhanced the Xpert Pro press brake to create the fully automated Bending Cell. The Bending Cell enables users to handle large series and even changing order levels efficiently and without errors. This manufacturing solution won an MM Award at EuroBLECH 2018.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating: At Göweil in Austria this is not just a truism. The metalworkers at Göweil tirelessly work on the development of new production technologies for their innovative agricultural machinery. And the Mobile Bending Cell from Bystronic helps them with completely new possibilities for automation.
