Tool management


Lantek Expert Punch allows full control over punching tools, including tapping, forming, embossing, and wheel tools. It supports Autoindex and Multitool stations in both circular and linear turrets.

Through an advanced graphical interface, users can visualize punch and die positioning, reduce tool change times, and define turret configurations for reuse in future CNC programs.

Lift evacuations and hatches


The system automatically selects the most appropriate part evacuation strategy based on size and weight. It manages automatic trapdoors, vacuum cups, machine stops, and micro-joint strategies, improving part unloading without manual intervention.

Smart nesting


Lantek Expert Punch includes a high-performance nesting engine for sheet metal cutting and punching. Using algorithms for both regular and irregular geometries, it distributes parts efficiently across sheets to maximize material usage.

It supports common punching and allows manual adjustments for fine-tuning nesting layouts.

Key ​Features

Automatic and customizable CNC machining


The system includes an extensive set of machining parameters that define how contours are processed. Users can assign micro-joints where required and reduce cycle time by optimizing movements and tool changes.

Common punching


This feature allows multiple parts to share common punching lines, reducing the total number of operations. Configurable micro-joints keep parts attached during machining, ensuring safe handling and preventing loose components that could damage tools or interrupt production.

Compatible with major CAD formats


The software supports direct import of standard CAD formats such as DXF and DWG. During import, it preserves key attributes like layers, line types, and text entities, ensuring a consistent transition from design to manufacturing without data loss.

Library of parametric parts and reusable machining macros


The system includes a library of parametric parts that can be easily modified. It also allows the creation of machining macros that apply predefined strategies to specific geometries, reducing manual programming and ensuring consistency across production batches.

Graphical simulation and CNC generation with machine-specific post-processors


Each post-processor is adapted to the specifications of the CNC punching machine. The software includes graphical simulation tools that replicate the punching process, allowing validation of the program before execution and reducing errors on the shop floor.

Support for combined punching, laser, and shearing machines


The solution supports combined machines that integrate punching, laser cutting, and shearing operations. It manages the transition between technologies and applies coordinated cutting and evacuation strategies. This approach reduces cycle time and improves overall production efficiency.

Automatic calculation of times and costs with exportable reports


The system estimates machine time, number of hits, tool usage, and production costs per part or sheet. It generates detailed reports that can be exported and used for quoting, cost control, and production planning.
