Life beyond spread sheets

  • Advanced Manufacturing
The quoting process in sheet metal manufacturing has long been dominated by manual calculations and fragmented workflows. Traditional methods, often reliant on spreadsheets and complex formulas, are time-consuming and prone to errors. Enter Lantek iQuoting, a modern solution that automates and streamlines the entire quoting process, offering significant advantages over these outdated techniques.

Intelligent Collision Avoidance

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Lantek recently developed a new algorithm called ICA “Intelligent Collision Avoidance ) in order to minimize potential collisions between the head and unstable contours. When the new algorithm detects which contours pose a potential risk of falling and being positioned on top of nearby contours, the system automatically assigns a micro-cut at the end of said contour. Thanks to this new algorithm, the cutting process has taken another step toward full automation and unattended cutting, minimizing the risk of machine shutdowns due to collisions.
