Schindler elevates its manufacturing performance with Lantek CAD/CAM
10/24/2012
By installing Lantek CAD/CAM software for its laser cutting machines, Schindler has been able to deliver on its commitment to quality and productivity improvement. The software has enabled the company to optimize the performance of its different machines by utilizing their capabilities to the full.
Schindler, which has its head office in Switzerland, is well known for the manufacture, installation, updating and maintenance of lifts, escalators and moving walkways. Its objective in choosing Lantek software for its manufacturing plant in Saragossa, Spain, was to implement a single system that was capable of programming all the different machines it uses for lift component manufacture while at the same time increasing flexibility and simplifying the manufacturing process.
The strategic approach to production employed by Schindler has led it to implement the best technology available for excellence in its processes. By moving to a single software solution for programming all of its laser cutting machines, it has been able to share its workload between all its machines, which was previously very difficult, greatly increasing flexibility in the workshop. In addition, the Lantek software has made it possible to increase material utilization, reduce scrap, and implement micro jointing which makes it easier to unload and handle small components.
Jesus Lazaro, Schindler's IT Manager in Saragossa says, "We have a large variety of high value machinery so it is important for us to have an advanced and innovative software infrastucture which can squeeze the utmost performance from our equipment and which is also capable of optimizing our processes. Some of our machines, particularly those used for sheet metal cutting, had rigid and, in some cases, obsolete software, which made it very difficult to generate effective CNC programs, seriously limiting the capability, versatility and productivity of our machines."
Schindler evaluated the sheet metal CAD/CAM systems on the market and selected Lantek Expert Cut as the solution most suited to its needs. The company appreciated the ease of use and intuitive interface of the Lantek software and additionally the integration of processes for design, CAD data import, nesting and rapid generation of CNC code into one flexible system. The agility of Lantek Expert Cut and the way it can integrate with all of Schindler's machinery has greatly improved flexibility on the shop floor and also provided a valuable saving in programming time, significantly improving productivity levels,
In addition to the benefits of faster programming, Jesus Lazaro comments on Lantek's high service and skill levels, "The Lantek software operates on any make of sheet metal cutting machinery and the technical knowledge it has of all the different machines on the market is particularly important to us. Lantek has shown that its software will run all our machines and this gives us greater freedom in managing our machinery in one system, making it unnecessary to install the multiple CAD/CAM systems suggested by each machine manufacturer which can result in incompatibility and much greater training and operational overheads."
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."

"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
