The results from lab came back - vacuum oil. After seeing that non-return valve on that vacuum I am not a single % surprised. Only when this valve is placed perfectly, it works. Sadly, after refurbishing, it was not ok and results are not fun. We are planning to clean tubes and mirrors as much...
100% agree with you on this one. Especially since the vacuum test passed without loosing a single mbar in over an hour. Turbo looks very good and oil does not get dark. I am also thinking of air supply and previous tech. hiding the fact that there was oil in airlines from scroll compressor. That...
Thank you for quick reply!
Sadly, it was the latter - during piercing, i saw "spaghetti" in tubes and during visual inspection - tiny traces of oil in tubes. Gas chroma will reveal the source, but my bet is either vacuum or turbo. Turbo was not noisy or vibrating, so probably old seals or...
Hi everyone!
One of our old ladies is driving me mad.
During cutting or even standby, front panel for gas cabinet freezes and HV gets turned off.
I have tried everything - replaced radiator in HV cabinet, replaced front panel with mainboard for gascabinet and for 2 days we were working fine...
Well, manufacturers could introduce mandatory shielding glass testing and replacement but then the costs would skyrocket. I am all for not having a protective glass door, but a camera inside the fully closed enclosure. For protective glass price of Bystronic, one can replace a camera every...

This is an MS-DOS CF card image with CNC terminal (NCAT.EXE) autostart for testing out. We used to copy cutting files to LCC folder on that flash, but it requires machine shutdown, so not exactly a great solution. This also works on a cheap Wyse thin client with VIA...
My latest retrofit for a tube bender was on Raspberry. Works like a charm. My struggle with Bystronic was wrong COM port numbers. Also, if still no communication, client should take a look at CPU386 (or CPU286 for older machines) card to see if that is alive. Forgot the exact led pattern for...
In europe, fiber laser must be enclosed fully and behind super expensive green (Bystronic) glass. We have one 4kw fiber that is superb fast, but costs are yet another question. Like owning a new car - service visits are expensive.
Hi!
3 main questions would arise here:
1. Price of retrofit? I know it depends, but a standard machine case would be fine.
2. Laser safety. Fiber laser is totally different wavelength, so additional precautions must be there. Your thoughts on that?
3. You said - no change in control. Does that...
If this subject is still actual, I might pop in my 2 cents - we have a couple BTL2800's with CNC90 and after original pc died, we moved to a new mainboard with 2 RS232 ports, Linux + Dosbox + some config adjustments and now we have full network functionality on our '95 machines that are still...
