Open database

Lantek Expert Punch stores all information generatedin the Microsoft, MSDE, or SQL Server database, for

companies with more advanced requirements. Thisdatabase is open and allows users to nd pieces,

manufacturing orders, plates, etc. by criteria such

as material, thickness, client, date, etc. You can also

create links with spreadsheets (Excel, ...), databases

(Access, ...) or other applications.

Calculation of times and costs

Lantek Expert Punch controls all machinetechnologies offering total control of time and costs,

both per piece and per plate. Thanks to this data,

users can create their own budgets, check workloads

on different machines and get extra help in decision-

making.

Management of pieces and storage of plates

All pieces are stored in databases, where the user

can easily locate any piece or plate by the criteria of

material, thickness, date, customer, size, etc. There

is also a full control of the remnants generated by the

system, so that they can be used in later works.

Parametric pieces

The software has an extensive library of parametric

pieces, in which the resulting geometry is obtained by

indicating the values of the variables.

Management of piece groups (Kit)

This option allows you to group pieces within a kit, to

launch the manufacturing of groups of pieces.

Intelligent importer/exporter

- Connection with major CAD systems on the market:

DXF, DWG, IGES, DSTV, etc. and graphic les (jpeg,

bmp, tiff, gif, pcx).- Filter by layers, line types, colour and automatic

assignment of technology.

- Import by groups and preview of les to be imported.

- Export per unit or per le groups in DXF format.

2D DesignLantek Expert Punch has a very effective CAD

2D module, especially created for the design of 2Dplate metal pieces. It also has added utilities such

as the dimensioning of the pieces, control of openor overlapping edges, insertion of other geometries

in the piece, vectoring of texts, powerful option for

Undo/Redo, etc.

Nesting Totally fexible manual nesting

The perfect combination of automatic and semi-automatic nesting is enriched with powerful manual

nesting functions such as copy, move, rotate, attach,

etc.

Automatic nesting

Lantek Expert Punchs automatic nesting optimises

the layout of pieces on the plates. Simply select the

pieces, their quantities, the exterior technology the

pieces and formats of plates for the system to makethem available automatically.

- Multiple plate nesting.

- Common punch nesting.

- Non-common punch nesting.- Shear nesting.

- Possibility of dening per-piece priority.

Technology Full management of different types of punches

Lantek Expert Punch lets you dene any type ofpunch in a fast and easy manner: cutting, stamping,

forming, threading, special shapes, etc.

Management of any type of turret

The user can dene the turret for the machine within

a simple graphic environment, try all sorts of turrets:

circular, linear, carrousel, etc.

Types of stations

Denition of each type of station, with its own

characteristics: auto-index, claw area, angles, etc.

Automatically and manually mechanised

Lantek Expert Punch machines each pieceautomatically according to different criteria that can

be modied by the user.

The punches to be used can be predened by types

and lengths of segments.

Blocking and limit of rotation on pieces.

Per-window nesting.

Multi-plate viewer, to navigate seamlessly fromone sheet to another.

Copy of groups of pieces from one plate to another.

Nesting in the holes of other already placed pieces.Ability to dene pieces of ller that will only be

used to ll the gaps resulting from the nesting.Nesting in remnants.

Machining macros

The user can easily customise the machining of

specic geometries so that the system detects the

geometry and automatically applies the punchingthe user has dened. This option is a powerful tool

for customers with their own products, capable of

automating all their machining processes.

Additionally, the system has a number of predenedmacro-instructions to facilitate the semi-automatic

machining of different types of contours.

Machining with standard turrets

The user can create different standards of turret so

that the punching is limited to the use of punches

placed in the turret, in this way reducing changes inmachine punching.

Common punching of regular and irregularpieces

Lantek Expert Punch automatically nests regularand irregular pieces so it can machine using commonpunching. At the same time, it utilises holes in pieces

in order to place other smaller pieces inside.

Tables dependent on material/thickness

This option denes the machining rules for eachmaterial/thickness, e.g. nibbling tolerance, width

notches, punch-die clearances, etc.

The solution is capable of automating the entire

process, dispensing of the need to make congurationchanges when changing material or thickness.

Automatic management of excavations of piecesand remnants

Based on the machines predetermined evacuation

and conguration possibilities, the systemautomatically evacuates parts and remnants. We

can dene priorities for, depending on the type of

piece evacuated by trap, stopping or placing micro-fasteners,

Control of programming

Lantek Expert Punch stores all data specic tomachine, such as claws, work area, hatches, etc ...

The automatic machining manages all this information

and provides the best machining solution in each

case, taking into account the characteristics of the

press.

Simply put, the system provides the pieces on the plate,analyses the position of the claws and the work area

and executes machining while taking in account all

technological data. The solution optimises the route taken

by the machine, with minimum repositioning in order toachieve the total machining of the plate.

Detection of errors

Lantek Expert Punch informs the user of possibledesign errors at all times, both in terms of open and

overlapping contours.Once the plate is machined, Lantek Expert informsthe user of potential overlaps between pieces or the

plate edge, indicating the points where they overlap.

It also identies the elements that have been left

without machining.

CNC virtual 3D simulation

Process automation

Lantek Expert Punch also can be used to manageadvanced systems for process automation,

including:

- Additional storage of punches- Loading/unloading of plates

- Unloading of pieces to boxes

- Unloading of pieces to pallets

- etc.
