Overview
Team Machine has a long history with Apollo Machine, performing all their major service work including laser and calibration and machine moves. Team had also previously retrofitted two European lathes and was now asked to retrofit Apollo’s Toshiba VMC 85.
While Apollo Machine regularly purchases new technology and hi-tech machine tools, they have a stable of core machines that they maintain for critical processes. The Toshiba VMC 85 was one such machine. This vital and reliable machine tool was well worth restoring, and once CNC and hi-tech components were added, the overall quality and production ability of the machine was elevated to an unparalleled level.
