5-Axis Gantry Line
January 1, 2016
CNC Systems, Inc. has announced the product launch and installations of the APEC 5-axis gantry line in the USA. "Many die/mold, aerospace and job shops often have a variety of materials to machine and sometimes have to switch from a high RPM machine to a machine with low RPM, high torque and high horsepower," said a company spokesperson. "The APEC 5-axis gantry is designed to meet the challenge of machining a variety of materials with different cutting conditions."
The APEC G2020 machine offers 92 HP with an 18,000 RPM HSK 63 spindle. This machine has several different configurations, but the basic features of the machine remain the same: X, Y linear motors, dual Z-axis drive system, linear scales on all axes, 78" x 78" x 35.5" travels (XYZ), Kessler 5-axis head and a Heidenhain ITNC-530 full 5-axis CNC control.
The GM3050 can machine a part as large as 118" x 196". Other machines, such as the GF series, can machine parts as large as 236" x 1,181" and offer dual independent gantries, each with its own 5-axis head. The GM series also offers linear motors on all axes with spindle speeds up to 24,000 RPM.
"The advantages of having the APEC family of machines to offer to our customers-with the variety of sizes, small footprints and spindle configurations-allow a manufacturer to install a large capacity machine into a smaller footprint in their facility," said the spokesperson.
A product catalog is available from CNC Systems. Parts, service and support are already in place for this machine line.
