Lantek Expert Tutorial
Use Layers: Keep your drawing clean by using different layers for marking/etching versus actual cutting.
Never send a program directly to a multi-million dollar CNC machine without validating it virtually first. Running the CNC Simulation Switch to the window.
Assign the specific material (e.g., Mild Steel, Stainless, Aluminum) and the sheet thickness. This determines the cutting parameters (feed rate, gases, etc.) used later.
Now we place parts on the sheet. Lantek Expert offers two modes: (dragging) and Automatic (algorithm). lantek expert tutorial
To help tailor future guides or troubleshoot a specific issue you are experiencing, let me know:
If you don't use a whole sheet, Lantek can save the "scrap" as a new sheet (Remnant) in the database for future use. 4. Machining and Lead-ins This stage defines how the machine will cut the paths.
Choose between Right/Left Linear , Arc , or Perpendicular leads based on material thickness. Thin sheets favor short arcs; thick plates require longer linear leads. Use Layers: Keep your drawing clean by using
Execute the command. The software will generate the layout with the highest utilization percentage. Manual Adjustments
Once the geometry is clean, you must define the manufacturing parameters for the specific part. 1. Setting Quantities and Priorities
