CNC Router

 

CNC Router Capabilities

At APR Plastic Fabricating, Inc. we have combined superior design and CAD/CAM programming with hands-on knowledge of custom fabrication and applied it to our CNC router capabilities making them unsurpassed in the industry. Your needs are not only unique, they’re constantly changing, that is why APR offers the flexibility to keep up with the demands of your market. We also know that the very best way to create innovative solutions that meet all of your requirements is to ask, and then answer all of the right questions.

 

Our CNC Routering offers many advantages

Maximum material yield by Multi-part nesting (see TSN below)
Reduction of secondary operations and material handling
5’ x 10’ cutting area for large and/or multiple parts
Part quantities from prototype to production
Whether simple or extremely detailed, most parts can be done in a single set up
Tolerances of +/- 0.003” can be held and repeated indefinitely

Materials such as Acrylic, ABS, Polypropylene, Nylons, Polycarbonates, HPL, MDF, Aluminum, and Plywood (and many others) can be easily processed.

 

True Shape Nesting (TSN) 

Because any shape parts, of the same material and thickness, are fitted (nested) on a sheet of stock, regardless of contour, size, or position. Sheet stock is simply placed on a CNC router and all finished components are machined in a single setup eliminating additional material handling, while dramatically increasing productivity and thereby reducing costs. In typical nesting operations, parts must be nested by human manipulation and placed on the sheet stock. Next the stock is cut to size. Only then can the individual parts be placed on the machine for CNC cutting. With TSN the tedious and time consuming steps to breaking down components for nesting is done automatically.

 

Machine Configuration 

Komo VR 510 Mach One S CNC Machining Center

Frame

 

The machine frame is constructed of heavy wall, structural steel fabrication with a cross-webbed type bed and main frame assembly.  Following stress relieving, way mounts are precision machined to ensure precise guide way alignment.  Frame has been designed and analyzed using Finite Element Analysis software.

 

Head Configuration

15HP spindle with 4-pole HSK 63F spindle programmable up to 18,000 RPM with

HSK 63F tool holders with a maximum collet / tool shank diameter of 1" (25.4mm), 10-station automatic tool changer (aggregate compatible), and automatic air blast system.
