Swiss Lathe Enables Compact Performance With Minimal Setup
The APSX Nano Swiss is designed for precise, complex machining, allowing for intricate and precise cuts that are well-suited for aerospace, medical and micro-mold applications.
The APSX Nano Swiss CNC lathe, designed for precise, complex machining, for applications where space is at a premium, supports up to 13 tools, allowing for intricate and precise cuts that are well-suited for aerospace, medical and micro-mold applications.
The APSX-Nano’s interface is said to simplify complex machining processes, while the machine’s control system provides efficient performance with minimal setup time.
Built with high-quality materials, the APSX-Nano is designed to withstand tough production environments. The rigid machine construction provides long-term reliability and precision, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Additionally, APSX-Nano is designed to operate with minimal environmental impact. Its energy-efficient components and reduced coolant use contribute to a smaller ecological footprint.
Machine specifications include:
- A machine base footprint of 31" (D) × 14" (W)
- Approximate weight of 150 lbs
- 120V standard wall outlet with proper grounding
- USB memory stick is used for loading g-code files on the control panel
- Adjustable mist (coolant) on the point of machining
- Hard anodized casting tool plate aluminum construction
- Polycarbonate safety shield
- Sliding cover to access barstock area
- PC, keyboard and pendant are included
The main servo motor (Teknic) spindle is capable of 1,800 rpm and 300 W. The machine features two 2,000-10,000 rpm pressured, air-chilled 500W live tool spindles with ER11 collets (1/4" and 1/8" two-flute end mills). It features three NEMA23 stepper motors with a rapid speed of 90 ipm on X, Y and Z axes. Stepper repeat accuracy at no load is ±0.0002", and achievable machining accuracy is less than 0.0005".
Compatible workpiece materials include aluminum, brass, bronze, delrin (acetal), peek, stainless steel, titanium and more.
