Modular power package for demanding benders

With the Xpert Pro, Bystronic presents a high-end press brake that sheet metal processing companies can adapt to their requirements on a modular basis.

The new model in the Xpert series of machines meets the highest demands in terms of process speed and flexibility.

Modular design has long since established itself in the automotive industry. Manufacturers offer a model in various editions and in addition to the standard specifications, customers can choose from a wide range of optional features. Bystronic was inspired by this principle when developing the new Xpert Pro: Customers can choose between three editions and customize them with optional extras.

The three editions of the Xpert Pro will appeal to a wide variety of users: The Classic Edition is ideal for job shops with small batch sizes or for prototype builders. With the Performance Edition, medium-sized companies can produce larger series quickly and reliably. And the Dynamic Edition with bending speeds of up to 20 millimeters per second is ideal for companies that need even more speed to efficiently handle batch sizes of 1000 pieces and more.

Maximum flexibility

The Xpert Pro’s press capacity can also be adapted to a wide range of requirements. The spectrum ranges from 100 to 320 tons. This enables sheets up to a thickness of 15 millimeters to be bent effortlessly. In terms of bending length, there is a choice of 3 or 4 meters. Companies that require even more flexibility can connect two machines together to process extra-long parts.

The modular concept enables the press brake to be adapted very specifically to the requirements of the production environment – and in this respect Bystronic goes one step further than the car manufacturers: If the requirements change, the configuration can be flexibly adapted. The exchange of individual modules, for example of the backgauge, is straightforward and all optional equipment can be easily retrofitted.

The Xpert Pro is also flexible with regard to the use of bending tools, because this press brake eliminates the usual compatibility problems. The developers designed the tool clamping system to be so open that, in addition to the large selection of Bystronic equipment, tools from other suppliers can also be used. This provides users with more freedom for the bending of a wide variety of parts.

Precise and convenient bending

Precision is the most important performance factor of every production environment. Thanks to the tried-and-tested dynamic crowning, the Xpert Pro achieves precise and consistent bending results from the very first part. Bystronic’s patented compensation system automatically adjusts the curvature of the lower beam during the bending process.

For even higher process reliability, the LAMS angle measuring system is available as an option. In addition to sheet thickness fluctuations, this system also compensates for springback and rolling direction variations.

Thus, the Xpert Pro reduces the need for tedious manual corrections while also reducing the operators’ workload during programming: The ByVision Bending software solution determines the ideal bending process for every material thickness and bending angle. Thus, the high-end press brake leaves nothing to be desired in terms of convenience. Bending has never been faster and more precise than with the new Xpert Pro from Bystronic.
