Combined Punching and Shearing Systems



Lantek, a provider of software solutions for the sheet metal industry, has partnered with Euromac, provider of punching and shearing combined machines, to deliver an integrated solution for metal sheet processing. This collaboration merges Euromac's punching and shearing machines with Lantek's advanced automation and synchronization software, offering customers a leap in productivity, cost savings and operational efficiency.

Euromac's combined punching and shearing machine is capable of executing long cuts in a single stroke, 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," said a spokesperson. "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 enables fully autonomous production. Lantek's palletization system automatically organizes and sorts cut pieces, offering 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 allows continuous machine operation, even during unattended shifts or overnight production, 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.

"The combination of Euromac's cutting technology with Lantek's automation software results in substantial improvements for workshops and factories," said the spokesperson. "Enhanced 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.

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