A magnetic drive system eliminates belts and mechanical friction, allowing for higher speeds up to 2000 mm/s (78.7 in/s) and acceleration beyond 2g. This results in smoother motion, greater precision, reduced maintenance, and quieter operation under 65 dB. The outcome is faster production with consistent, repeatable accuracy across every job.
The primary difference is the cutting area. The Apex M 2516 offers a 2500 x 1600 mm work area, ideal for mid-volume production and standard sheet sizes. The Apex M 3516 provides a larger 3500 x 1600 mm cutting area, perfect for high-volume operations and oversized materials. Both models feature the same magnetic drive technology, triple tool heads, and automated router bit changers.
Absolutely. The Apex M Series is engineered for high-volume production environments. With triple tool heads for simultaneous cutting and finishing, automated tool changers, and industry-leading speeds, the system dramatically reduces production time. The magnetic drive ensures consistent quality across thousands of pieces, making it ideal for commercial sticker, decal, and label production.
