The company has established a strong reputation in aerospace, mold & die, automotive, and energy manufacturing by delivering machines designed for precision, rigidity, and efficiency.
Global Presence: APEC machines are distributed worldwide, with strong representation in North America through Absolute Machine Tools.
APEC offers a diverse portfolio of machine tools tailored to meet demanding industrial requirements:
SK & SKM Series: Box-in-box 5-axis gantry machining centers optimized for high-speed aerospace aluminum cutting and mold & die applications.
MT & MTH Series: U-shape gantry machining centers designed for heavy-duty cutting of titanium, Inconel, and other high-temp alloys.
HS Series: Horizontal 5-axis machining centers equipped with multi-pallet pools for unmanned, high-efficiency aerospace part production.
G & GM Series: Gantry vertical machining centers built for mold & die, stamping dies, and large-scale industrial applications.
CM Series: Composite machining centers engineered for aerospace CFRP and advanced material processing.
MC Series: Ultra-long-travel gantry machining centers capable of handling oversized aerospace, energy, and industrial structures.
MDU-Titan Series: Heavy-duty 5-axis gantry machining centers purpose-built for CFRP, superalloys, and high-temperature aerospace materials, offering extreme rigidity with U-shape force flow casting design.
APEC machines are widely used in industries where accuracy, efficiency, and scale are critical. Their force flow design principles — whether the U-shape casting for rigidity or the box-in-box structure for high-speed accuracy — set them apart from competitors like Parpas, Fidia, Zimmerman, Makino, and Mazak.
