The machine tool manufacturer Bystronic sets the highest standards for the individual components of its sheet metal processing systems. For example, the energy supply in the company's new laser cutting system robust must also be particularly dynamic in order to be able to keep up with the high travelling speeds and accelerations. igus® offers a remedy here with its pre-assembled readychain® solution.
"Due to the extremely high dynamic requirements, the energy chain must be stable, robust and not too heavy. Space is also very limited."
Roman Bloch, Manager Machines + Automation at Bystronic AG
New format for laser cutting
With the further development of the Byspeed laser cutting system, which will be exhibited at "Euroblech", users can now also laser cut sheet metal with formats of up to 4 x 2 metres at high speed. The machine has longer traverse paths and correspondingly higher energy supply requirements. A different type of chain had to be selected on the X-axis due to the unsupported length. An E6-energy supply is used. As there is a reduced polygon effect, even smoother running is expected.
Once again, igus® was involved in the development from the very beginning.
Bystronic uses the so-called Kanban process for the supply of the pre-assembled readychain® systems. "We have undertaken to keep a certain quantity of pre-assembled energy chain systems ready, which we deliver to the factory within a defined period of time," reports Artur Peplinski. "This allows us to react flexibly to Bystronic requirements. The energy supply system is therefore just-in-time at the assembly site where it is installed. In addition, we use disposable packaging that is easy to dispose of without any follow-up costs." This system shortens assembly times, eliminates warehousing and increases availability.
"Nothing else comes into question for us," says Roman Bloch, Manager Machines + Automation at Bystronic AG, expressing his satisfaction. Bystronic was quickly convinced of the advantages of the pre-assembled solution.
Tech up ... Reduce costs.
