Plasma for Tubes

Lantek has the optimal cnc plasma nesting software for manufacturing light tubes and thin walled tubes with plasma machines, either with straight or beveled cuts: Lantek Flex3d Tubes.

Lantek Flex3d Tubes generates CNC programming for achieving a perfect production of tube parts either on specific tube machines (able to process round tubes) or on hybrid machines (able to process both tube as well as sheet metal) and includes the following features:

• Complete or partial chamfers on either end of the tube
• Various options for copying elements and operations (linear, circular, by grid)
• Visual identification of intersections and operations with easy calculation of intersections between two tubes
• 2D geometry projected or surface mapped on the tube surface
• Tube fixing systems: Roller-bed or Chuck

Lantek Flex3d Tubes provides integrated management of different machining technologies such as:  bridges, micro-joints, cutting qualities – all managed manually, semi-automatically, or completely automatically.

Lantek Flex3d Tubes is able to simulate in 3D the cutting sequence of any plasma tube cutting machine, providing a powerful tool to avoid undesired behaviors in the real operation.
