Spanish software leader Lantek and innovative machinery manufacturer Euromac have joined forces to launch an integrated solution that promises to transform the sheet metal industry. This collaboration combines Euromac’s state-of-the-art punching and shearing machines with Lantek’s advanced automation software, delivering a highly efficient manufacturing system that reduces material waste by 20%.
The partnership brings together Euromac’s precision engineering and Lantek’s cutting-edge technology to create a seamless production experience. Francisco Pérez, Lantek’s OEM channel director, highlighted the significance of the collaboration: “By merging Euromac’s speed and accuracy with Lantek’s automation capabilities, we are setting new standards for digital manufacturing in the sheet metal sector.”
Advanced Technology for Faster, More Efficient Processing
Euromac’s combined punching and shearing machine, built on its XT model, is designed to optimize production. Unlike traditional methods, which often require multiple steps and high energy consumption, this machine can execute long cuts in a single stroke. This innovation not only speeds up processing but also minimizes material loss by eliminating micro-joints, ensuring precision and efficiency throughout the manufacturing process.
Enhanced Automation for Uninterrupted Production
Lantek’s software integration takes automation to new heights. Its advanced palletisation system automatically organizes and sorts cut pieces, removing the need for manual intervention. This feature not only streamlines operations but also classifies parts based on specific orders, reducing manual handling and improving workflow efficiency.
The system also supports uninterrupted operation, even during unattended shifts or overnight production. Automated unloading ensures continuous functionality, significantly boosting productivity and freeing up resources for other tasks.
Flexibility and Global Success
The solution’s flexibility is another key advantage. Options like the Gantry Stacker, which uses suction cups to handle parts, and advanced robotic systems for complex palletisation tasks, cater to diverse manufacturing needs. This integrated system has already been successfully deployed in facilities across Italy, Germany, and Spain, delivering impressive results in productivity and cost savings.
With optional automatic bending capabilities, the solution is ideal for fully autonomous production lines, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow from start to finish.
A Step Forward for the Metal Industry
The partnership between Lantek and Euromac underscores the importance of collaboration between machine manufacturers and software developers in driving innovation. Together, they are paving the way for more efficient, precise, and sustainable manufacturing processes, setting new benchmarks for productivity and automation in the sheet metal industry.
This groundbreaking solution not only enhances operational efficiency but also redefines the future of digital manufacturing, offering a glimpse into the potential of integrated technologies in industrial applications.
