Bystronic sets open house date

Bystronic UK will open the doors of its Coventry headquarters on 1-3 October to mark the launch of the company’s BySmart Fiber entry-level fibre-laser cutter.

The competitively priced BySmart Fiber can be supplied with a laser source of 2, 3, 4, or 6 kW, as well as optional automated material-handling solutions. The 6 kW source enables users to achieve the maximum increase in cutting speed, for example up to 70% more than a 4 kW fibre laser when cutting 3 mm stainless steel. This advantage is even greater in comparison with a 6 kW CO2 laser, as productivity is trebled.
Many other machines will also be at the open house, including the company’s 10 kW fiber-laser machine with full automation, a full range of high specification and affordable press brakes, and software solutions designed to help network production.

Air saw specialist acquires grinder

A Micromatic grinding machine supplied by Master Abrasives has been installed at Cengar Ltd, a manufacturer of air saws based in Halifax.

Cengar’s team took advantage of a special showroom offer that Master Abrasives is holding this summer. The company’s new grinding machine, the Eco 200, will be used in the production of parts for the tools manufactured at its facilities in Yorkshire.
As a distributor of Cengar air saws, Master’s technical team fully understood the application requirements and provided complete support for the installation and training process.
Cengar’s air saws are used worldwide in many industries. The saws are designed for pipe cutting, metal work and many other applications on a range of materials, from stainless steel to GRP. All Cengar saws are ATEX certified, and are said to be reliable and fast, with a long working life and low vibration, allowing unrestricted use under most conditions.
The company’s production manager Steve Randerson says: “This new machine has met all expectations and we were delighted that it was fully operational within two days. Our operators were trained on the functionality of the machine and soon gained confidence in producing production parts. This investment is part of a continuous improvement programme which will see productivity rates increase to meet customer delivery demands. We’re grateful to Master Abrasives for continuous advice in achieving this goal and their aftersales support.”
Master Abrasives’ applications engineering manager Ian Meredith adds: “It’s been a pleasure working with our partner Cengar on the installation of their new machine. Communication with Cengar has always been excellent and this has only strengthened our business relationship.”
