3-axis CNC plate drilling and milling centre
APD
The APD is purpose-built for drilling, tapping, milling, and marking heavy steel plate in a single setup. A 30 kW spindle running at up to 3,000 RPM drives carbide and HSS tooling through plate from 10 mm to 200 mm thick, while the 8-station automatic tool changer switches between drilling, tapping, countersinking, and milling operations without operator intervention. The Siemens CNC positions the spindle across the work area with rack-and-pinion drive and preloaded ball screws, and a special milling tip enables part-number and layout marking directly on the plate surface. Internal and external tool cooling systems handle both carbide and HSS tooling requirements. Standard table size is 2,000 × 4,000 mm, with custom dimensions available to match your plate inventory. ACM supplies the APD from Cambridge, Ontario with installation, tooling consultation, and ongoing service.
