Lantek Systems, Inc., leading provider of software solutions for the sheet metal and manufacturing industries, has announced the launch of a new module for its Lantek Expert Cut CAD/CAM nesting software. The EdgeLine Bevel module is designed to streamline the CNC programming of modern TRUMPF cutting machines, providing a more efficient and simplified process for laser machining and the preparation of components for welding operations.
The EdgeLine Bevel technology offers several key advantages over traditional methods that allow specific beveling techniques to be performed without tilting the laser head, reducing overall processing time, and eliminating the need for separate work center processes. The technology also has a significant impact on the preparation of components for welding techniques by enabling the automatic insertion of chamfers and countersinks of various sizes up to 45°, providing a faster and more efficient process with fewer errors compared to traditional manual methods.
"We are delighted to launch the EdgeLine Bevel module for Lantek Expert Cut," said Mario Rodríguez, Product Manager of Lantek. "This technology represents a major advancement in the field of laser processing and will significantly improve the efficiency and convenience of the manufacturing process. We're confident that our customers will appreciate the benefits of this module and that it will help them to stay ahead of the competition".
The EdgeLine Bevel module is currently available only for modern TRUMPF's laser machines.

computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- laser machining
laser machining
Intensified, pulsed beams of light generated by lasers—typically carbon dioxide or neodium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG)—that drill, weld, engrave, mark, slit and caseharden. Usually under CNC, often at both high cutting rates (100 linear in./sec.) and high power (5kW or more). Lasers also are used in conjunction with in-process quality-control monitoring systems allowing measuring accuracies of 0.00001".
