Efficiency
The APL-G is a highly sophisticated gantry drilling and oxygen/plasma cutting machine that offers various capabilities such plasma cutting, drilling, thread tapping, countersinking, marking, oxy cutting, and bevel cutting. It utilizes moving heads located on a moveable bridge where the cutting and drilling units are strategically placed on different sides of the bridge. This design enables the processing of components in desired dimensions, making the APL-G a suitable CNC gantry drilling and plasma cutting machine for expanding businesses. It offers a large cutting area that can save you from additional shearing costs from your steel provider, and each cut part is tested to ensure consistency and precision across the table. The APL-G's high repeatability is demonstrated by how identical metal components fit together perfectly when stacked, boasting excellent edge quality.
Multiple Processes, One Solution: APL-G
Highlights
Plasma Cutting
Plasma cutting offers significantly higher efficiency compared to oxy-fuel cutting when working with mild steel of lower thickness levels. A plasma machine of equivalent size has less capital size than high-powered fiber lasers, yet maintains the same cutting quality. Hyperterm's unit revolutionizes plasma capabilities with mechanized plasma cutting technology. This allows for fine-feature parts to be cut with superior quality and consistency, thereby eliminating the cost of secondary processing.
5-Axis Bevel Cutting
The bevel head offers high-precision capabilities for cutting at non-perpendicular angles from the top of plates. This not only revolutionizes your cutting capabilities but also provides incredible precision when cutting at beveled angles. More importantly, it offers unprecedented flexibility to cut at a variety of angles, adapting to your unique manufacturing requirements. With the APL-G, you can adjust the cutting angles to suit your specific needs, setting new standards for accuracy and versatility in the industry.
Oxy Cutting Unit
The oxy cutting feature on the APL-G can handle materials up to 5.9" (150mm) thick. An easy transition between plasma and oxy-fuel cutting facilitates processing of a wide range of material thicknesses. This dual functionality not only increases operational flexibility but also bolsters the system's overall efficiency in dealing with various material specifications.
Carbide Drilling
The advanced drilling unit integrated into the APL-G offers an exceptional solution for rapid carbide drilling. This unit enhances the benefits of carbide drills by ensuring optimal process safety, cost-effectiveness in production, and flawless hole quality. Carbide drills stand out by delivering an unparalleled combination of high precision, making the APL-G a preferred choice for demanding applications.
Automatic Tool Changer
The APL-G comes with an 8-tool capacity tool changing unit. This allows for easy tool changes without the need for manual intervention. It also minimizes machine downtime by reducing the operator's workload. ATC, operators can significantly speed up production, reduce errors caused by manual tool changes, and increase the precision and accuracy of their products.
Cutting and Drilling Table
Its robust construction ensures that the material stays securely in place, allowing for precise and accurate drilling and cutting operations. A lower hydraulic plate provides essential support for the material throughout the drilling process, ensuring stability and precision. Positioned at the bottom of the fixed table, a chip conveyor efficiently removes debris, maintaining a clean work environment and optimizing the drilling operation.
Marking Unit
The APL-G is equipped with a marking torch. Even after painting or shotblasting, these marks can still be seen clearly. It's also possible to mark using plasma with the help of argon gas. This kind of marking quality ensures that the marks last for a long time and can withstand various treatments or coatings that may be applied on the marked material.
Torch Height Control
This dynamic feature maximizes the quality of plasma cutting, specification not only the protection of equipment but also the optimization of cutting performance. The magnetic collision system protects the torch from damage by averting collisions in all axes. It precisely adjusts the torch's height positioning to optimize plasma cutting quality.
Fume and Dust Connection Unit
The fume and dust connection unit effectively collects dust, fume, and slag generated during the oxy-plasma cutting process. The gases are efficiently filtered and released into the air, ensuring zero pollutants are discharged. All APL-G machine filters strictly comply with CE regulations and adhere to international standards.

Software
The APL-G uses Lantek Expert software to facilitate the automation. This intelligent software is based on an advanced control architecture that features real-time multitasking capability, object-oriented design, and open architecture that allow for customization to suit various machine tool applications. The APL-G provides precise and smart control over all aspects of the CNC machining process, such as tool path generation, movement control, data handling, error detection and correction.
