Lantek and Euromac Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize Sheet Metal Processing!

Lantek, a global leader in software solutions for the sheet metal industry, has formed a partnership with Euromac, a provider of advanced punching and shearing combined machines, to offer an integrated solution for metal sheet processing. This collaboration combines Euromac’s cutting-edge punching and shearing machines with Lantek’s automation and synchronization software, creating a groundbreaking solution that enhances efficiency, precision, and material utilization in the sheet metal industry.

According to Francisco Pérez, OEM Channel Director at Lantek, “With this collaboration, we are offering our customers a groundbreaking solution that merges the best of both worlds: Euromac’s precision and speed with Lantek’s advanced automation and synchronization. Together, we are shaping the future of digital manufacturing in the sheet metal industry.”

Euromac’s combined punching and shearing machine is one of the most advanced technologies in the market. The machine’s capability to execute long cuts in a single stroke drastically reduces processing time and material consumption. Unlike traditional methods that require multiple impacts and higher energy consumption, this technology, based on Euromac’s XT model, offers faster, more precise cuts with optimal material utilization. The machine’s optimized shearing system further reduces sheet metal waste by up to 20%.

Beyond superior cutting performance, Lantek’s software integration elevates automation to a new level. The Lantek palletization system automatically organizes and sorts the cut pieces, eliminating the need for manual intervention during machine operation. This fully autonomous system streamlines part stacking and classification based on specific orders.

Another key benefit of this integrated solution is uninterrupted operation. Automated unloading ensures the machine operates continuously, even during unattended shifts or overnight production. The system’s flexibility allows for adaptation to different production needs, with options such as the gantry stacker, which uses suction cups to handle and organize parts, or advanced robotic solutions for more complex palletization requirements.

The combination of Euromac’s cutting technology with Lantek’s automation software brings substantial improvements to workshops and factories. Superior cutting quality eliminates micro-joints, while cost efficiency is significantly enhanced through reductions in material waste, energy consumption, and processing time.

Additionally, the increase in efficiency due to automation enables continuous production with minimal manual intervention, freeing up valuable resources and optimizing workforce management.

This innovative solution has already been successfully implemented in manufacturing facilities in Italy, Germany, and Spain, and is designed for seamless integration into fully autonomous production lines, combining punching, shearing, and optionally automatic bending capabilities.
