One of our experienced Mantech Machinery UK engineers has successfully completed the installation and operator training of an Apollo 1313 ATC CNC Router for a new customer based in Telford, specialising in plastics machining and fabrication.
This compact yet extremely robust CNC router — often described as being built like a tank — offers the perfect combination of power, precision, and reliability. It’s an ideal solution for workshops that demand high-quality performance in a smaller footprint.
Compact Design, Industrial Performance
The Apollo 1313 ATC may be smaller in size, but it’s designed to perform at an industrial level. It features a high-speed Automatic Tool Change system, enabling seamless transitions between tools during production — maximising efficiency and reducing downtime.
Machine highlights include:
Compact ATC beds suit workshops where floor space is tight but tool capacity cannot be. Compare Apollo 1313 against larger ATC formats on the ATC hub, browse Telford-area installations, and CAB Animal Transit Boxes for a UK business running multi-process fabrication daily.
- Automatic Tool Change (ATC) system for fast, uninterrupted machining.
- Heavy-duty welded steel frame for maximum stability and vibration reduction.
- M-TECH control system, delivering intuitive operation and precise motion control.
- High-speed spindle and advanced drive system for clean, consistent results.
- Compact design ideal for workshops where space is at a premium.
The Apollo 1313 is engineered for precision plastics machining, handling a variety of materials, including acrylics, PVC, HDPE, and composite panels with ease.
The Power of the M-TECH Control
At the heart of the Apollo 1313 is the M-TECH control system — a robust and user-friendly platform designed by Mantech to simplify complex machining processes. It provides smooth motion control, high-speed data processing, and real-time toolpath accuracy, ensuring exceptional finish quality even during demanding operations.
Operators benefit from a clear, responsive interface, quick setup features, and flexible control over multiple machining parameters — helping reduce production time while maintaining consistent precision.
