Lantek and Euromac: high precision and productivity in combined punching and shearing systems

Full automation: synchronized stacking and non-stop production

Euromac’s combined punching and shearing machine is among the most advanced solutions on the market, capable of executing long cuts in a single stroke, drastically reducing processing time and material consumption. Unlike traditional methods that require multiple impacts or high energy consumption, this technology—based on Euromac’s XT model—delivers faster, more precise cuts with optimal material utilization. Its optimized shearing system reduces sheet metal waste by up to 20%, eliminating the need for micro-joints and maximizing efficiency in every manufacturing process.

Beyond cutting performance, Lantek’s software integration takes automation to the next level, enabling fully autonomous production. Lantek’s palletization system automatically organizes and sorts cut pieces, ensuring seamless machine operation without manual intervention. This automation streamlines part stacking and classification based on specific orders, reducing manual handling and improving production flow.

Uninterrupted operation is another key advantage of this solution. Automated unloading ensures continuous machine operation, even during unattended shifts or overnight production, significantly increasing overall productivity. The system’s flexibility allows it to adapt to different production needs, with options such as the Gantry Stacker, which uses suction cups for handling and organizing parts, or advanced robotic solutions for more complex palletization requirements.

Tangible benefits for customers

The combination of Euromac’s cutting technology with Lantek’s automation software results in substantial improvements for workshops and factories. Superior cutting quality eliminates micro-joints, ensuring precise, clean finishes. Cost efficiency is another decisive factor, with significant reductions in material waste, energy consumption, and processing time, directly enhancing profitability for businesses implementing this solution.

Increased efficiency is another major advantage, as automation enables continuous production with minimal manual intervention, freeing up resources and optimizing workforce management.

A Step Towards Autonomous Manufacturing

This development has already been successfully implemented in manufacturing facilities in Italy, Germany, and Spain, delivering outstanding results in productivity and cost savings. The solution is also designed for seamless integration into fully autonomous production lines, combining punching, shearing, and optionally, automatic bending capabilities.

"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," stated Francisco Pérez, OEM Channel Director from Lantek.

Lantek and Euromac demonstrate that strategic collaboration between machine manufacturers and software developers is essential to transforming the metal industry. This partnership paves the way for more efficient, precise, and sustainable manufacturing, redefining the standards for productivity and automation in sheet metal processing.
