Lantek software supports second-hand punch press and laser sales from MC Sales

By working with Lantek, MC Sales says it can ensure that the machines it supplies deliver optimum performance and can be productive immediately after they have been commissioned. The company's managing director, Andy Naylor, says: "In my opinion, Lantek Expert is the best sheet metal CADCAM system on the market. The back-up 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." Machine Sales 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 experience to offer a professional service to its clients. 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 will 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 shopfloor 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 MC 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. MC Sales has the experience to propose the best machine for each application. By matching it with Lantek software, we can provide a solution that will exceed the customer's expectations."
