Hybrid Precision Meets Sheet-Fed Automation

Apex Pro SF Sheet-Fed Flatbed Cutter

The Apex Pro SF Series merges the servo-controlled hybrid belt drive and dual tool heads of the Apex Pro Series with the integrated sheet feeder developed for the Eclipse Series. The result is a next-generation automated flatbed cutting platform engineered for high-speed, accurate production across signage, packaging, textiles, industrial applications, labels, stickers, and short-run digital finishing.

Why Choose the Apex Pro SF Series

The Apex Pro SF is the production-level hybrid for shops that need more cutting area, thicker-material capability, faster motion, dual UCT tooling, and integrated sheet-fed automation beyond the Eclipse X Series.

Apex Pro Precision and Speed

Independent servo-controlled tool modules, hybrid belt-drive motion, up to 1800 mm/s traverse speed, and 1.8g linear acceleration support fast, repeatable production.

Integrated Sheet-Fed Automation

The integrated feeder connects sheet loading, optical registration, cutting, conveyor movement, and collection for efficient repeat and mixed-job workflows.

Industrial Platform Construction

A robust steel-welded frame, variable vacuum zones, automated calibration, infrared barriers, and mechanical bumpers support demanding production environments.

A True Apex Pro and Eclipse Hybrid

The Apex Pro SF combines the strongest elements of two CUTWORX USA platform families into one modular, turnkey sheet-fed production system.

Apex Pro SF sheet-fed flatbed cutting system

From the Apex Pro Series

Servo-controlled hybrid motion, dual UCT tool heads, industrial construction, broad tool compatibility, faster traverse speed, thick-material capability, and production-level accuracy.

From the Eclipse Series

Integrated sheet feeding, conveyor workflow, optical print registration, and automated handling for repeat printed-sheet production.

Built for Nonstop Production

The combined platform reduces manual handling while supporting signage, packaging, textiles, labels, stickers, displays, industrial parts, prototypes, and specialty applications.

Dual UCT Tooling for Maximum Flexibility

Two interchangeable UCT positions support the same standard Apex Series tooling family, allowing shops to configure the platform around the material and finishing process.

Apex Series interchangeable UCT tooling

Routing

Compatible routing modules support rigid material processing and dimensional applications.

Oscillating Cutting

Oscillating tools process thicker, denser, rigid, and semi-rigid materials.

Kiss Cutting

Controlled-depth finishing for labels, decals, films, vinyl, and pressure-sensitive media.

Creasing and V-Cut

Configure tools for folding cartons, packaging samples, scored work, beveled edges, and dimensional projects.

Drag Knife Cutting

General-purpose cutting for paper, film, vinyl, printed graphics, and flexible sheet materials.

Two Active Modules

Keep two compatible modules active to reduce tool changes and support more efficient multi-process workflows.

Common Questions About the Apex Pro SF

Key answers for shops comparing Eclipse X Series automation with larger, faster, dual-tool Apex production capability.

Is the Apex Pro SF an Eclipse model?

No. It is an Apex Pro Series platform that incorporates the integrated sheet-feeding workflow associated with the Eclipse Series.

What is the standard Apex Pro SF size?

The standard configuration is the Apex Pro 1312 with a 1300 × 1200 mm, or 51 × 47 inch, conveyor-style cutting area.

How is it different from the Eclipse 3547?

The Apex Pro SF provides a larger cutting area, dual UCT modules, faster servo-controlled motion, 50 mm thickness capability, higher vacuum power, industrial construction, and broader Apex Series tooling.

Does it include automatic sheet feeding?

Yes. The integrated sheet feeder connects loading, optical registration, cutting, conveyor transport, and receiving into one automated workflow.

What tools can it use?

The dual UCT positions support compatible Apex Series tools for routing, oscillating cutting, drag cutting, kiss cutting, creasing, V-cutting, and other configured processes.

How does automatic tool calibration help?

An infrared optical sensor measures tool position and supports accurate depth control, faster setup, and repeatable initialization.

What applications fit the Apex Pro SF?

It is suited for signage, packaging, textiles, labels, stickers, displays, industrial materials, prototypes, custom contours, and automated short-run production.

Who should move up from the Eclipse X Series?

Shops that need more cutting area, dual active tools, thicker-material processing, higher speed, routing capability, or industrial production capacity should compare the Apex Pro SF.

From Compact Sheet-Fed Finishing to Industrial Automation

The Eclipse 1007 and Eclipse 3547 serve compact and larger-format printed-sheet finishing. The Apex Pro SF is the hybrid next step for operations that need industrial Apex tooling and performance without giving up integrated sheet-fed production.
