The Apollo ATC CNC router range is designed for manufacturers who require dependable, high-duty automatic tool change performance across demanding production workflows.Engineered for long duty cycles, multi-tool operations and consistent output, Apollo ATC systems are specified where rigidity, reliability and long-term accuracy are critical to production efficiency.
ATC throughput
Apollo ATC CNC routers are built around an integrated automatic tool change system designed for fast, reliable operation across complex multi-tool jobs. By reducing manual intervention between processes, the Apollo ATC improves cycle times, repeatability and workflow efficiency in nested manufacturing and repeat production environments.
Industrial build
Built on a rigid, fully welded steel frame, the Apollo ATC is engineered to maintain stability and cutting accuracy under continuous use. The platform is designed to handle higher duty cycles and demanding materials, making it suitable for production environments where uptime, precision and long-term reliability are non-negotiable.
Motion control
Apollo ATC machines utilise ManTech’s MTECH CNC motion control system, configured to deliver smooth, accurate movement across complex toolpaths. This allows operators to maintain consistent machining quality across repeat jobs, even during extended production runs.
Table formats
The Apollo ATC range is available in multiple standard table sizes, with custom configurations available to suit specific material formats and production requirements. This flexibility allows manufacturers to match machine capacity to throughput needs without compromising performance or rigidity.
Z clearance
With a 300 mm bridge supplied as standard, Apollo ATC CNC routers provide increased Z-axis clearance for thicker materials, tooling stacks and complex fixtures. This enables greater application flexibility in production environments handling varied substrates.
UK engineering
All Apollo ATC CNC routers are installed, commissioned and supported by ManTech’s UK-based engineering team. Customers benefit from professional installation, operator training and ongoing technical support, ensuring confidence from initial setup through the machine’s working life.
