Lantek has the software tools to get the most from your raw material

  • Advanced Manufacturing
The metal price index has gone up by over 20% in the last 12 months resulting in material shortages and large hikes in the cost of sheet metal. Stainless steel has seen even more dramatic rises due to the high cost of nickel.

Seven Lantek technologies used in the manufacture of domestic appliances

  • Advanced Manufacturing
Washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, kitchen construction, industrial machinery for the food sector, etc. Technology with the Lantek seal is making its mark on the consumer goods entering homes, hotels, restaurants or educational and work centers all around the world. It involves the use of the sheet metal manufacturing software in the home appliances and metal furniture sector, whether for cutting material, data validation or process and inventory management.

‘Progressive Corners Beveling’: The algorithm that revolutionizes the way bevels are cut

  • Digital Transformation
One of the biggest obstacles that the metal industry faces is cutting bevels or chamfers on corners. After months working on how to overcome the loop that is generated, we’ve developed Progressive Corners Beveling (PCB), an algorithm based on dynamic control of the 5 axes, which means that the head is progressively oriented with the angle of the next bevel. That is, it no longer remains perpendicular to the cutting direction, as it does in tangential programming. Thanks to this we save 15 mm to 30 mm of material from each loop. As a result, there is no material waste, so we gain time and therefore, money.
