Lantek brings its full suite of sheet metal software
Lantek, a world-renowned specialist in sheet metal CAD/CAM and ERP software will be exhibiting its latest software at MACH 2024, Hall 17 Stand 319. Flexibility is one of the major improvements in Lantek Expert, making it easy to move nests of parts between different machines as production requirements dynamically change without the need for manual adjustments. New is the Assembly 2 Nesting software. Here, customers can import a complete 3D model assembly of parts. These are individually sorted and unfolded
in the Lantek software, nested and then cut in the shortest possible time, without the user needing their own CAD system to do 3D model manipulation. For tube and pipe work, Lantek Flex3D has seen some fundamental changes which reduce execution times. The software also helps eliminate collisions through hole destruction technology and aims for a ‘no scrap’ target with micro joints connecting parts together to use up every bit of the tube material. www.lantek.com
Affordable standard CMMs gain extra accuracy
Manufacturers wishing to inspect components machined to tight tolerances, but unwilling to invest in an expensive, ultra-high-accuracy coordinate measuring machine (CMM), now have the option of selecting an
from the same component parts as the standard ALTERA C range, but are optimised during build at the company’s Derbyshire production facility to deliver 16 percent higher accuracy during a measuring cycle, with 13 percent better repeatability and 50 percent more accurate scanning. Volumetric accuracy is from 1.3+L/350, repeatability from 0.0013 mm and scanning accuracy from 0.002 mm. New on show also at MACH 2024 will be LK’s own CMM laser scanning probe, SLK25 VIVID, and the TSR-5 tool change and storage rack, as well as a collaborative robot, and a second-generation LK FREEDOM arm with L100 VIVID laser scanner. www.LKmetrology.com
ALTERA C HA (high accuracy) from LK Metrology. Available in five sizes, the largest 15.9.7 model will be exhibited on the company’s stand at MACH 2024 (Hall 19, stand 540). The ceramic-bridge machines are constructed
