CNC #1

5’x10’ Multicam CNC router with vacuum hold down and linear tool changer. It has a dedicated overhead vacuum powered lift on a crane system for loading sheets of material and off-loading large parts.

The second CNC router. It's an MDF bed with no material on it.

CNC #2

5’x10’ Multicam CNC router with vacuum hold down and linear tool changer. This one also has its own overhead vacuum powered lift on a crane system. It shares the same space as CNC #1 but with 2 crane systems they are able to work on different projects using different stacks of material.

Two CNC routers in the shop. They hold white expanded foam PVC.

THE APEX TWINS

5’x10’ Multicam CNC routers with vacuum hold down and linear tool changers. These share another overhead vacuum powered lift on a crane system to service both of these machines at the same time. This is fantastic in production as they can both work off of the same stack of material in the center.

FORKLIFTS

What would we do without our trusty forklifts? They make our lives so much easier on a daily basis doing things like unloading material from delivery trucks, moving around pallets of finished products and constantly reorganizing stacks of materials to accommodate production flow. Our Nissan is a 5000lb capacity and is everybody’s favorite to drive (shhh) but the Yale can reach much higher loads and adds a lot of flexibility to our flow.
