LVD has provided T-axis CNC programmable sheet supports for its PPEB and Easy-Form series of precision hydraulic press brakes. The use of T-axis programmable CNC sheet supports facilitates one-person operation and enhanced angle repeatability, part quality and ease of material handling, improving overall press-brake productivity. Unlike traditional pneumatic-type sheet supports that typically do not support the part during the entire bending process, LVD's T-axis system features synchronous brushless motors to follow and support the sheet before, during and after bending. LVD's T-axis sheet supports are fully synchronised with the bending speed of the press brake, providing smooth operation and facilitating an accurate, consistent bending process. T-axis trajectories are calculated automatically by the press-brake control, depending upon the size of the V-die. The sheet is completely supported during bending by the synchronised action of the rotation movement and the vertica...

Lantek has developed Lantek Expert II for sheet metal/profile cutting and punching and Lantek Expert III for business process management at Terclima, Lecitrailer and Aceros Morales. With these solutions, the company aims to optimise manufacturing processes and all processes connected with managing day-to-day work. Lantek Terclima, a company specialising in the air conditioning sector, began a project for modernising its software infrastructure with the dual aim of making full use of its machinery and having overall control of its production processes, alongside a view to meeting the needs of different customers, both domestic and commercial/industrial. Terclima has installed several modules from the Lantek Expert II range, including Lantek CAD 2D, WOS and Lantek Expert Duct, enabling it to quickly design and automatically generate metal-forming figures for the creation of ventilation and aeration ducts. In addition to these modules, the company has also installed the Manufacturing, Wa...
