5-Axis Gantry Machining Centers



APEC (Asian Pacific Elite Corp), a Taiwanese builder of large 5-axis gantry machining centers specifically designed for the aerospace and die/mold industries, builds more than six different models with sizes ranging from 1.5 meters to over 30 meters in X travels, and 1.2 to over 8 meters in the Y (cross) travels.

APEC offers 5-axis expertise and multiple spindle options from 3,000 RPM to 24,000 RPM to provide advanced 5-face and 5-axis machining of die/mold materials as well as exotic aerospace composites, titanium, nickel alloys and high-speed aluminum wing spars. APEC's dual Z-axis ball screws, a specially designed casting and an advanced thermal system are designed to provide high-accuracy, high-speed machining. Most of the machines can be equipped with multiple head changing solutions as well as complete palletizing systems. The latest controls from Heidenhain, Siemens and FANUC are available from APEC.

APEC 5-axis gantry machining centers include:

  • G and GM Series for high efficiency precision machining
  • MT Series for all kinds of entry level 5-face and 5-axis machining
  • GF Series for large scale heavy cutting
  • MDU highly rigid machines for nickel alloy combustion cases.

APEC machining centers are imported by CNC Systems Inc. with locations in California and New England.
