Lantek Sheetmetal Solutions has partnered with Machitech to provide Lantek Expert Cut nesting software on all Machitech Fiber PRIME S high-power laser cutting machines and Lantek Flex3D Nesting software for the company’s Fiber TUBE XL tube laser cutting machines. Machitech customers will now have these powerful nesting and cutting path technologies at their fingertips to for more streamlined and accurate cuts, saving significant time and costs, and protecting sensitive cutting heads from damage.
Machitech’s Fiber PRIME S series machines range from 12 to 60 kilowatts in power with beveling capabilities to cut up to 4-inch steel pieces. The XL version can handle parts up to 160 feet in length. All machines are equipped with sophisticated touch screen controllers with remote management to fully automate cutting operations. The company believes that equipping the controllers with a flexible software suite with intuitive interface and a full array of features is the best way to help customers experience the full power of their Fiber PRIME S machines. Lantek Expert Cut nesting software functions such as 2D CAD/CAM automatic, semi-automatic and manual nesting capabilities; common line cutting between different parts; and the Assembly 2 Nest (A2N) 3D importer for direct download of common 3D CAD formats are among the functions that help streamline laser cutting operations. All of this power contained in one software package eliminates the need for multiple software suites to complete different types of cuts and provides Machitech with a cohesive turnkey solution to meet customer needs.
The Fiber TUBE XL tube cutting machine is equipped with Lantek Flex 3D Tubes software, providing this machine designed for large diameters with the ability to cut angled, HSS square, and HSS round profiles as well as smaller H-beams. The machines can handle tubes ranging from 0.8- to 25-inches in diameter up to 40 feet maximum length. The Flex 3D Tubes software allows users to design, nest and cut the parts comprising tubes and pipes or import SAT and ITES files. Users can also change the values of operations and the parameters of each tube on the fly, simulating the nesting process before the cutting operation even begins, protecting the machine from damage when cutting round, square or complex profiles.
“High-power laser and tube cutting demand software that is not only powerful, but extremely reliable and safe. Machitech’s advanced machine platforms combined with Lantek’s nesting and cutting intelligence give customers a solution that maximizes cutting performance while protecting critical machine components,” said Anupam Chakraborty, Commercial Director at Lantek. Together, we’re helping fabricators reduce risk, improve throughput, and unlock the full potential of their investment.”
“We are pleased to offer our customers the option to have their shop powered by Lantek. It’s a powerful software used for press brakes, fiber lasers, and many other tools. Our goal was to provide a solution that customers were asking for, one that integrates seamlessly with the machines they already have and the Lantek workflow they’re familiar with” said Simon Croteau, Vice President of Marketing at Machitech.
