LANTEK AND EUROMAC DRIVE AUTOMATION IN SHEET METAL MANUFACTURING

The collaboration between Lantek, a leader in software solutions for sheet metal processing, and Euromac, a specialist in punching, shearing, and bending machinery, marks a new milestone in manufacturing automation. By integrating their technologies, the two companies aim to enhance productivity, optimize material usage, and reduce operational costs in the metalworking industry.

Advanced automation and uninterrupted production

The combination of Euromac’s punching-shearing machine with Lantek’s software introduces a highly efficient production system. This machine stands out for its ability to execute long cuts in a single stroke, significantly reducing processing time and minimizing material waste by up to 20%. Unlike traditional methods that require multiple impacts or high energy consumption, Euromac’s technology optimizes material usage while ensuring greater precision.

One of the key advantages of this solution is its energy efficiency. Whereas conventional punching systems or laser cutting machines often require high energy input, Euromac’s approach completes cuts in seconds with significantly lower power consumption. Additionally, its versatility allows for the processing of a wide range of materials, from stainless steel to high-strength metals.

The integration of Lantek’s software further enhances automation by enabling fully autonomous production. With an automated palletizing system, parts are sorted and organized efficiently, ensuring an uninterrupted workflow and optimized production management. This functionality allows machines to operate continuously, even during overnight shifts or without supervision, greatly increasing productivity.

Key benefits for the industry

The combination of Lantek and Euromac’s technologies brings several advantages to sheet metal manufacturers:

• Higher cutting quality: Elimination of micro-connections and precise finishing for every part.
• Cost reduction: Lower material and energy consumption, boosting profitability.
• Full automation: Continuous production with minimal manual intervention.
• Flexibility and adaptability: Integration of various palletizing solutions, from vacuum systems to advanced robotic arms for efficient part handling.

This solution has already been successfully implemented in plants across Italy, Germany, and Spain, demonstrating significant improvements in productivity and operational efficiency.

Towards digital and autonomous manufacturing

The collaboration between Lantek and Euromac strengthens the industry’s shift towards automation and digitalization. The ability to integrate punching, shearing, and bending functions into a fully automated system opens new opportunities for factories aiming to optimize processes and reduce costs.

Francisco Pérez, OEM Channel Director at Lantek, emphasized the importance of this alliance: "With this collaboration, we offer our customers a groundbreaking solution that combines the best of both worlds: Euromac’s speed and precision with Lantek’s advanced automation and synchronization. Together, we are shaping the future of digital manufacturing in the metal industry."

This development highlights how the synergy between machinery manufacturers and software developers is key to driving more efficient, precise, and sustainable manufacturing, setting a new benchmark in the sheet metal processing sector.
