The nesting function within Lantek Expert products maps out part arrangements on metal sheets to use the maximum amount of material available and to manufacture the most parts possible. There are also semi-automatic and manual options. Experteven tracks remnants and prioritizes their use before new sheets, extending material life and reducing waste. Before cutting begins, the system checks the design and manufacturing code for any errors and automatically flags or fixes them.

“Lantek Expert Cut’s CAM tools also include Nesting, which efficiently lays the parts on sheets for better Sheet Utilization,” noted Anupam Chakraborty, Commercial Director, Lantek Sheetmetal Solutions U.S.A.

Lantek Expertfeatures several tools for specific applications. Expert Cut is designed to ensure seamless, efficient programming of CNC oxy-cut, plasma, laser, and waterjet sheet metal cutting machines. Itprovides its own CAD tools specially crafted for creating 2D parts Similar to its cutting counterpart, Expert Punch generates code to direct CNC punching machines in drilling, threading, stamping, punch forming, embossing, and rolling. It also supports shearing and combination machines.

In order to eliminate the guesswork in programming for HVAC ductwork, Expert Duct, offers a substantial parametric figure library containing the most common duct shapes, all of which follow DIN and SMACNA regulations. Ductallows the definition of the type of neutral axis with which to make calculations, the type of joints used for the parts, the number of sections, the type of engraving for cutting machines, the seams and connections, and the insulators.

Every solution in the Lantek Expert family has been specially designed and fine-tuned to be the absolute best tool for its application. Visit Booth B6332 at Fabtech or www. https://www.lantek.com/us.
