The future of manufacturing: LAGUN’s innovative Boxed Technology

In the ever-evolving world of manufacturing, flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability are paramount. Enter Lagun Machine Tools’ revolutionary Boxed Technology – These self-contained units can be easily swapped, combined, or rearranged, allowing for unparalleled flexibility and scalability that can accommodate the diverse needs of industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, construction, railway industry, and general engineering. But what truly sets this technology apart is its simplicity – the highest level of sophistication without the unnecessary complexity. 

Lagun Machine Tool’s modular architecture is a design approach in which a system is composed of separate and interchangeable components or modules. Each module fulfils a specific function and can be easily added, removed or replaced without affecting the system as a whole. This concept has several characteristics and advantages. 

The modular approach 

LAGUN’s Boxed Technology represents a production philosophy centred on the use of replaceable and reconfigurable components. By employing standardised sets or compact technologies, this approach enhances both reliability and resilience, leading to reduced machine manufacturing times and more efficient service support. LAGUN exemplifies this philosophy by achieving consistent assembly repeatability through the use of modules with comparable structures, ensuring product reliability. The standout feature of this technology is its simplicity, delivering sophisticated solutions without unnecessary complexity. 

Unparalleled advantages 

The advantages of Boxed Technology are manifold. From streamlined maintenance and repairs to seamless interoperability between modules, this approach is designed to maximise productivity and cost-efficiency. Furthermore, it facilitates faster development cycles, ensuring that manufacturers can swiftly adapt to emerging technologies and market demands. 

But perhaps the most compelling aspect of Boxed Technology is its ability to isolate faults within individual modules, minimising the impact on the entire system. This not only enhances reliability but also promotes sustainability by enabling the reuse and recycling of components. 

A manufacturing philosophy 

Aitor Agirre, General Manager at Lagun Machine Tools, explains:  

“Boxed Technology is more than just a model of production efficiency. It’s a manufacturing philosophy that we extend to our machines, our technological developments, and our people. It’s a way of thinking about machines that we’ve been applying to our milling machines for over 65 years.” 

Diverse applications 

This approach has already proven its worth in Lagun’s milling machines, but its applications extend far beyond. With Boxed Technology, Lagun has diversified its offerings, developing advanced portable CNC machines for in-position machining operations in even the most complex physical spaces, as well as cutting-edge welding solutions with FSW technology for superior weld joint quality. 

Shaping the future 

The potential of Boxed Technology is vast, and its applications span a multitude of industries. From aerospace and automotive to energy and construction, any sector that relies on complex manufacturing systems can benefit from the flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability that this technology offers. 

As the manufacturing landscape continues to evolve, it is clear that modular, reconfigurable solutions like Boxed Technology will play a pivotal role in shaping the future. By embracing this innovative approach, manufacturers can stay ahead of the curve, streamline their operations, and deliver products that meet the ever-changing demands of the market.
