5 Axis Machining Centres
5-axis VMC, HMC and Gantry for aerospace, medical and motorsport component work. Box-way construction, big tool magazines.
Series: VMCAPEC
The workhorse platform for aerospace, motorsport and precision engineering.
Part of the Tongtai Group, TT APEC specialises in high-performance 5-axis CNC machining centres engineered for aerospace, motorsport and precision manufacturing, delivering exceptional speed, rigidity and accuracy for demanding, tolerance-critical applications.
Machine types
Three platforms under one brand.
From general subcontract to cycle-time-driven aerospace production. Same rigid castings, same mainstream controls, three configurations for the shape of your parts.
Flexible Pallet Automation (APC)
TT APEC machines can be configured with automated pallet systems to suit your production needs — from 8, 16 or 32 pallet solutions through to fully integrated FASTEMS automation systems for high-volume, lights-out manufacturing.
Options: 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 PALLETS / FASTEMS

5-axis gantry vertical machining centre. 1,100 × 1,400 × 900 mm travel, HSK63A 18,000 rpm spindle, 40-tool magazine. Box-in-box construction on a mineral casting base, XY linear-motor drive and Heidenhain optical scales. Ø1,000 mm rotary tilt table for aerospace and die & mould work.
Apec MT15
5-axis double-column machining centre. 2,000 or 3,000 mm X-axis travel, 24,000 rpm spindle, 32-tool magazine. Aerospace aluminium structural parts and high-precision moulds.
Apec GM Series
5-axis gantry with box-in-box structure. Table up to 8,000 × 4,000 mm, HSK63A 24,000 rpm spindle, linear-motor XYZ at 60 m/min. Large-scale mould work where thermal stability matters.
Apec SK
5-axis gantry for aerospace aluminium. X-axis up to 8,000 mm, HSK63A 24,000 rpm 75 kW spindle, twin ball-screw Z with crossbeam flushing. Around half the floor footprint of a comparable gantry.
Apec MC Twin
5-axis double-column with twin heads, spindles and tool magazines on a single beam. X-axis up to 20,000 mm, two HSK63A 24,000 rpm spindles, 20T + 20T magazines. Long aerospace spars and stringers at roughly double the throughput.
Why APEC
What sets the platform apart.
Cast-iron rigidity
Heavy structural V castings, designed for cutting metal, not chasing chatter.
Mainstream controls
Proven Heidenhain and Siemens control options, easy to hire operators for, familiar to any CNC programmer.
Fast spares turnaround
Common wear parts stocked in the UK by our service team, so machines get back on the line, not waiting on a container.
