Lantek collaborates with Machine Sales for optimum service

Lantek, specialists in sheet metal CADCAM software, has been collaborating with Machine Sales Ltd based in London for more than five years.

Machine Sales specialises in preowned laser and punching machines and is the UK partner for Broziat, which is Europe’s major accredited used Trumpf dealer. Broziat has facilities in Switzerland and Germany where it refurbishes machines and rebuilds resonators, bringing the machines supplied back to within the manufacturer’s original tolerances. In the UK, Machine Sales is able to offer these machines with absolute confidence in their performance and, uses its considerable experience to offer a professional service to its clients.

By working with Lantek it can ensure that the machines it supplies deliver optimum performance and can be productive immediately after they have been commissioned. Andy Naylor, Managing Director of Machine Sales says, "In my opinion Lantek Expert is the best sheet metal CADCAM system on the market. The backup is excellent and the people at Lantek are the most trustworthy in the industry. By offering Lantek software with the machines I supply, I can be sure that my clients will get the best return on their investment."

Lantek Expert makes use of all the machine functions and its specialist team of engineers can help new users to program their first parts as part of the training sessions. For more specialised applications, Lantek can provide extra assistance in, for example, the use of special forming tools on a punch press to ensure they are performing correctly and in common line cutting on laser machines, which reduces machine travel, saving both material and cutting time.

Automated nesting within the Lantek Expert software includes the ability to link to MRP systems so that nesting can be completed live to match the daily production mix. This increases flexibility of production and minimises material wastage. Lantek Integra takes this a stage further by giving managers the ability to monitor costs as they occur, keep track of progress on the shop floor and control purchasing, stock levels and quality.

Rob Powell, Commercial Director at Lantek in the UK says, "The quality of the sheet metal machinery supplied by Machine Sales and the service they offer ensures that when we collaborate we can be sure that the customer will be very satisfied with the complete system. Machine Sales has the experience to propose the best machine for each application. By matching it with Lantek software we can provide a solution which will exceed the customer’s expectations."
