APEC MT-1520 5-Axis High Speed Double Column Machining Center

Description

The APEC MT-1520 is a precision-engineered 5-axis high-speed gantry machining center built for high-performance mold machining, aerospace components, and complex part manufacturing. Designed with a rigid double-column gantry structure and advanced thermal stability, the MT-1520 delivers exceptional accuracy, dynamic performance, and reliable multi-axis control.

This powerful machine is equipped with a 15,000 RPM HSK-A100 built-in spindle, providing 45/54 kW (S1/max) power and up to 143 Nm of torque—ideal for high-speed, high-precision cutting of hardened materials and intricate mold surfaces. The 2-axis fork-type milling head enables full 5-axis simultaneous machining, with ±115° B-axis and ±360° C-axis rotation, driven by direct-drive motors for enhanced speed and positioning accuracy.

With travels of X: 2,000 mm, Y: 1,500 mm, and Z: 900 mm, and an optional 1,200 mm Z-axis upgrade, the MT-1520 provides ample working space for medium-to-large parts. The high-speed linear motors on the X and Y axes, roller-type guideways, and robust Heidenhain TNC640 CNC control system ensure smooth, accurate, and fast operation.

Key Features:
• 2-axis direct-drive fork-type milling head (±115° B / ±360° C)
• Heidenhain TNC640 5-axis controller with HR520 manual pulse generator
• X/Y axis linear motors for backlash-free high-speed movement
• Positioning accuracy: ±0.010 mm; repeatability: ±0.005 mm
• Optional BLUM probe, laser tool measurement, 70 bar CTS, and chip conveyor

Whether you're machining precision molds, structural aerospace parts, or complex 5-axis geometries, the APEC MT-1520 Gantry Machining Center delivers the speed, precision, and flexibility to meet today’s demanding manufacturing standards.
