Lantek's technical support delivers increased productivity and faster return on investment
7/10/2012
Investing in laser, punching or plasma cutting machinery is costly, so companies will want to maximize returns and operate the machinery as efficiently as possible. A major element in the successful functioning of the equipment is the choice of CAM system for creating the CNC code and the technical support available to the user.
Lantek has been developing its Lantek Expert software for over 25 years and as a solutions provider offers its customers software and service tailored to the individual needs of the client. Paul Such, Technical Director at Lantek Systems UK says, "We have a team of engineers in our Malvern office that understand not only our software and its application, but also the intricacies of each machine and its control unit. We have a fully manned help desk for telephone support and also remote access software which enables us to operate our customer's computers to resolve any queries as quickly as possible. Our ability to distinguish between a software issue and an issue with the machine and its control unit makes a big difference as it enables us to give advice which quickly gets to the root of any problem and enables the customer to minimize any disruption to the production schedule." Laser technology can be complex so Lantek's ability to provide advice on settings and the use of the laser machine itself can be invaluable.
Over 84% of Lantek's business is in markets outside Spain, where the software is developed, and the emphasis on high quality service is common to all of the company's offices and distribution channels. It realizes that there are significant technical and cultural differences between different countries and markets, so the local support and service it offers is extremely important in tailoring its offerings to suit the individual needs of manufacturers.
Rob Powell, Managing Director of Lantek Systems UK says, "We are aware that there are low cost CAM systems available, but the disadvantage is the level of support you can expect to receive. With a low cost system, the supplier will be unable to offer a problem solving service. Downtime in production as a result of unresolved queries will quickly eat up any difference in cost between our system and a low cost one."
As well as the service, support and regular software updates offered by Lantek as part of its maintenance package, the company also supplies additional modules for managing activities such as production, stock levels, purchasing and quotations. By implementing these, companies can achieve cost savings and major increases in productivity which will extend the solution across the whole enterprise, again backed by Lantek's support team.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
