Tutorial ((full)) — Bysoft Cam

Report: "BySoft CAM Tutorial"

Overview

• Topic: BySoft CAM — CAM module for Bystronic (BySoft) sheet metal cutting systems.
• Purpose: Tutorial content covering setup, programming, nesting, simulation, and machine output for users of BySoft CAM.

6. Optimization Checklist for BySoft CAM Users

• [ ] Material selected correctly (affects gas, focus, speed)
• [ ] No open contours
• [ ] Lead-ins in scrap area (or on part edge if unavoidable)
• [ ] Minimum 5mm between parts for thin sheet, 10mm for thick
• [ ] Microjoints placed on flat edges (not bends)
• [ ] Part priority set (high-priority parts first in nest)
• [ ] Simulation run at 1x speed to catch slow motion issues
• [ ] NC code backed up with setup sheet (tool list, gas, nozzle size)

Cutting Sequence: BySoft automatically selects the optimal cutting technology based on the material.

Once the part is blue (closed contour) and has a green face (indicating a correct sheet metal body), you are ready for CAM. bysoft cam tutorial

The software is modular, with key components like BySoft CAM Cut for laser and waterjet processing and BySoft CAM Bend for press brake programming. Report: "BySoft CAM Tutorial" Overview

Simulations: Before sending the job to the machine, run a Cutting Time Simulation to identify potential bottlenecks and verify the total machining time. Mastering the Bending Process Topic: BySoft CAM — CAM module for Bystronic

• Click Sequence Editor (Timeline view).
• Drag-and-drop contours to reorder.
• Rule of Thumb: Cut parts in the corner of the sheet first, then move inward.
