Lantek Systems Introduces Flex3d Tubes for Flexible Tube Cutting and Design and Reduced Scrap

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Lantek Systems’ Flex3d Tubes is an intuitive software program that allows precise cutting of tubular parts, eliminating scrap and increasing throughput. Available within the Lantek Manager and Integra software, Flex3d Tubes seamlessly integrates with different types of tubular geometry import tools such as SAT and IGES. Additionally, programmers can import 3D design files from SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge or STEP files among others.

The value of connectivity in a Factory

  • Advanced Manufacturing
In this era of pandemic, connectivity has shown just how valuable it is. Following lockdown, manufacturers adapted their workflow and the way they operated in order to continue producing. Those that were able to work remotely did so to maintain safety distances. But... what are the differences between factories with varying levels of connectivity?

Combined plasma and water jet cutting machines to speed up production

  • Advanced Manufacturing
An increase in the competitive pressure of the digital environment is forcing us to look for more time and cost effective means and greater productivity, requiring greater efforts in R&D to find innovative solutions in the metal and sheet metal industry. And in this search for better performance, two traditionally antagonistic technologies have joined forces to bring an optimized cutting solution to the market. We are talking about combining a water jet cutting machine (based on mechanical cutting through abrasion) and plasma cutting (thermal cutting using high temperatures that melt or vaporize the material).
