The flexibility of transferring parts between machine tools attracted a laser profiling company to use one CADCAM system for a variety of punching and profiling machines.
CAD/CAM modules designed for sheet/plate profiling
In CAD/CAM modules specially designed to automate the programming of sheet metal cutting machines, as the mouse is dragged to define a window, the nesting is generated instantly and automatically.
Historically, the company has been strong in the programming of laser machines, but the last 12 months has produced a surge in installations of its CAD/CAM systems to drive punching and plasma machines.
Customers have been particularly impressed with Lantek's Expert Punch Plus system, which is highly configurable and has intelligence built in.
The resulting punching patterns are fully automatic and eliminate the need for editing by utilising a combination of process knowledge and individual customisation.
CNC programming of plasma machines has also been the subject of considerable development with auto bridging and common line cutting - features which can save on piercing time, resulting in significant savings in cycle times for Lantek users.
Robert Powell, Commercial Director for Lantek Systems commented, "The new capabilities in our software have been well received by our customers, who have achieved some real benefits from its introduction".
"We intend to build on our success during 2005 with our new Lantek Expert III production control software, dedicated to sheet metal applications, which enables users to plan a suite of parts across a range of machines from quote to completion.".
