Bystronic’s (Elgin, IL) larger format 4020 (6’ x 12’ material size) of its popular ByTrans Extended compact material handling system yields greater profits through higher machine utilization, process efficiency, expanded operations and reduced labor costs. Loading and unloading of materials takes just 75 seconds so that the system is always faster than the shortest cutting plan. The short cycle time, which is independent of the thickness of the metal sheet, ensures greater overall throughput.
ByTrans Extended offers complete accessibility and optimum operation in a small, inline footprint and handles all sheet thickness up to 3/4 inch plate. Available with two raw material locations and one unload location, the second raw material location can also serve as the location for the unloading of automatically sorted parts.
Benefits
- Fast job processing – complete loading and unloading cycle takes only 75 secs
- Much higher machine utilization for only a slightly higher investment
- Designed with two cassettes, thereby making the machine system more autonomous
- Flexible use – not just for storage/return transfer but also for large parts removal as well as the preparation of plastic protective separators, which are placed between the metal sheets by the system
- Entry into lightly-manned parts production
