As a result of over 25 years of experience and working closely with constructors and end users, Lantek software combines machine technology perfectly with rail sector customers' programming and management needs. The capabilities of the software are ideally suited to the manufacture of specific parts used in the railway industry whilst also optimising the whole manufacturing process.
"Lantek provides the rail industry with greater control of safety issues and the means of implementing intelligent transport solutions thanks to full command of manufacturing procedures. It provides an overall vision of how we'll be travelling on tomorrow's trains. We aim to offer constructors reliable new solutions incorporating end users' needs, security constraints and constantly changing technology," explains Lantek CEO, Alberto Martinez.
Many parts designed using the Lantek software are focused on passenger comfort and meeting their requirements not only through ergonomics, materials and the cutting of shapes, but also through layout and assembly.
By working all over the world through its regional offices and network of distributors, Lantek treats geographic proximity to its customers as a priority, enabling them to keep to short deadlines. Its reaction speeds are appreciated by companies that have put their faith in it, like French company Alstom: "Lantek is capable of working all over the world, regardless of the location of your production site or your customers' set-up."
Lantek software is available in several modules to provide an appropriate solution to each production and management requirement:
- Lantek Expert: CAD/CAM nesting software for cutting sheet metal using flame cutting, plasma, laser, water jet (Lantek Expert Cut) and punching (Lantek Expert Punch).
- Lantek Flex3d Steelwork: CAD/CAM 3D software that can optimise CNC programming of 3D machining devices for tubes, ducts, girders, moulded plastic and sheet metal that can be associated with complementary tools for piercing, marking, forming, bevelling or other tasks.
- Lantek Wos: controls and monitors production by providing the necessary tools to collect data during the manufacturing process on the workforce, inventories, materials and machines, helping companies to produce cost effective parts of the best possible quality.
- Lantek Flex3d Addins: importing native CAD drawings from popular systems such as SOLIDWORKS®, Solid Edge®, Inventor®, Catia®, and Creo Elements/Pro™ (formerly Pro/ENGINEER). An adaptive tool for automatic bending of all sheet metal drawings into 3D.
- Masterlink: system created to transfer orders between the company and existing management systems particularly allowing data to be imported on the quantity of sheet metal used, the scrap generated and products created.
"Many world famous companies in the railway industry are already using Lantek software. These include Alstom in Brazil, Peru, Turkey, Spain and Italy and also companies such as CAF Mechanics Metal in Germany, Global Transporte Industria Servicio in Mexico and others throughout the world," adds Alberto Martinez, Lantek CEO.
