Sheetmetal
Emsea boosts productivity and efficiency Emsea, a leading UK specialist in laser cutting, metal fabrication, machining, and sheet metal forming based in Tewkesbury, has boosted productivity and efficiency by implementing Lantek Bend on its Trumpf TrueBend 5000 series machine.
Lantek Bend’s multivendor capability gives Emsea flexibility by enabling the software to interface seamlessly with bending machines from different manufacturers. This provides a standardised process for programming and optimisation, ensuring consistency in production and cost estimation regardless of the machine used. The software monitors material spring back and calculates the necessary overbend to achieve precise angles. It can also detect if parts are inserted incorrectly, reducing errors and improving quality. Jordan Adlam, Sales Engineer at Emsea, explains, “Thanks to Lantek’s advanced technology, we optimise machine productivity by cutting setup times and avoiding errors, resulting in significant cost and efficiency savings. The integration of Lantek software products allows us to share and optimise data, operating efficiently while delivering excellent customer service.” Emsea uses Lantek Bend not only for its Trumpf TrueBend but also other bending machines, providing operators with tooling and setting lists plus bending sequences. This saves time and ensures accurate cost quoting for different processes. Serving industries such as agriculture, oil and gas, water, food, medical, and packaging,
