Overview of the 990-APEX

Architectural, Pre-Hanging, & Exterior -- All in One

The

990-APEX

redefines door and jamb machining flexibility by bridging the interior, exterior,

and architectural/commercial markets. Designed with 75 years of experience and proven concepts

at the foundation of our legendary

990 Series

, the APEX easily outperforms the competition.

Leveraging our patented

KvalCAM®

software—integrated with CNC technology—the

990-APEX

provides complete control of all machine movement and precision cutting. It is the perfect

machine for those looking to serve several markets with a single high-performance solution.

Hinges

- Four independent CNC router heads allow you to specify hinge location, depth, radius,

and pre-drill patterns from the control panel for the door and jamb. Use of clockwise and count er-

clockwise high-frequency spindles eliminate material chip-out without the need for chip-out

blocks. A third spindle is designated for point-to-point pre-drilling any hole pattern. Automatic

corner squaring and concealed hinge capability are standard.

FIGURE 1-1.

Hinge Section

Lock Section

- Routers mounted on the CNC tower in the lock section can machine the entire lock

edge, making it possible to complete preps for three-point locks, deep mortise locks, flush bolts,

and more. Face work in the lock section is completed with vertical spindles mounted on the same

CNC tower, making function holes, different size bores, and irregular shapes all possible.
Corner squaring and point-to-point pre-drilling in the lock section are standard with the

990-

APEX

, and optional CNC ball-cat ch routers can be added t o both bore and route for face plates on

the door top.
