The Apollo 3 Axis CNC machine features a bed size of 10 x 5 feet (1600mm x 3050mm), enabling Norco to process larger sheet sizes.
According to Norco, this new machine is equipped with an eight-station tool changer, reducing the time required for manually changing cutting tools and thereby increasing the efficiency of machining larger kits.
One of the features of the Apollo CNC is its extended Z height, allowing Norco to machine materials up to 150mm thick. This capability expands the range of projects Norco can undertake, providing greater flexibility and precision in its manufacturing processes.
CNC centre manager Darren Dennis said: “With the ever-growing list of projects and core kits that our CNC Centre is now producing, the Apollo 3 Axis CNC machine will play a crucial role in enhancing our productivity. By reducing processing times and increasing our machining efficiency, this new capability will help us meet the demands of our clients more effectively.”
