APEC SKM Series – 5-Axis High Speed Moving Gantry Machining Centers
The APEC SKM Series 5-Axis High Speed Gantry Machining Centers are engineered for high-precision mold & die machining and advanced aerospace aluminum components. Featuring a box-in-box symmetrical structure, dual linear motors on all three axes, and a honeycomb ram for vibration damping, the SKM Series achieves the rigidity, accuracy, and surface quality required for intricate molds and thin-walled aerospace structures.
Benefits for Mold & Die and Aerospace Machining
The SKM Series is designed to meet the demands of mold manufacturers producing complex cavity molds and precision dies, while also serving Tier 1–3 aerospace suppliers machining thin-walled aluminum parts. Its box-in-box structure minimizes deflection and thermal deformation, while the honeycomb ram design suppresses vibration during high-speed cutting. With high-speed spindles optimized for aluminum, advanced chip evacuation systems, and flexible head exchange options, the SKM Series consistently delivers ultra-fine surface finishes and dimensional accuracy across industries.
