Over three decades ago, Olaf Rautner embarked on a pioneering journey with Bystronic, installing one of their first laser cutting systems. This landmark installation was a ByStar with the serial number 2, marking the beginning of a partnership that has flourished over the years. Schnittpunkt, led by Rautner, now operates a fleet of advanced Bystronic laser cutters at their newly expanded 7,000 square metre facility in Bavaria.

The latest addition to their cutting-edge collection is the ByCut 4020, a powerful 15 kW system designed for precision and efficiency in managing demanding cutting tasks. This flagship model exemplifies Bystronic’s commitment to innovation and high-performance technology.

Schnittpunkt’s operations are further enhanced by a sophisticated automation system developed in collaboration with Grundner. The setup features two overhead cranes that seamlessly select sheets from flat storage and deliver them to automated shuttles. These shuttles intelligently position sheets beside laser tables, allowing flexibility for manual loading when necessary. This integration reflects a forward-thinking approach to streamlining manufacturing processes.

The partnership between Schnittpunkt and Bystronic highlights decades of successful collaboration and shared vision in advancing laser cutting technology. With cutting-edge systems and innovative automation, Schnittpunkt continues to set benchmarks in efficiency and precision.

Bystronic, renowned for its laser cutting and automation solutions, remains a pivotal player in the manufacturing industry. Their commitment to technological advancement ensures that companies like Schnittpunkt maintain a competitive edge.
