Fiber laser cutting used to be reserved for big-budget production lines. The Apollo 8 changes that, bringing a fully enclosed 4' x 8' CNC fiber laser cutting machine to small metal fabrication and automotive shops. Its 1.5kW Max Photonics source slices steel up to 1/2" thick, plus stainless, aluminum, and brass, with crisp edges and ±0.002" per foot positioning accuracy. Dual-side loading makes the most of tight floor plans, and purpose-built LaserControl software runs on an integrated touchscreen. Every Apollo is engineered, assembled, and supported by our team in Texas, and ships nearly complete.

Only Apollo 8 gives you full 4’x8’ cutting capacity in this compact package. Exclusive Dual Side Loading gives the Apollo Laser system unmatched versatility to fit in your shop. A CNC Fiber Laser System for your shop is now possible.
The Apollo frame is bonded, fastened, and machined at our facility in Texas. The frame, drive system, gantry, and laser system are built tough to deliver precision and reliability. No other laser cutting system delivers this level of industrial grade performance at this value.
Apollo 8 doesn’t reuse controls and software from other vendors like most other companies. We started with a clean sheet, and built the electronics for your needs. We designed the PCBs. We developed height sensing. We tuned the performance. We wrote the LaserControl software. It’s purpose built - for you. Clean and compact.
Apollo 8 brings together the best components in the laser cutting industry. Highly reliable Max Photonics sources are found in many top brands. RayTools heads feature the best Swiss optics engineering. Liquid Cooling ensures consistent performance. Only Langmuir Systems can deliver this product, with our buying power and close partnerships with these industry leading brands.
Apollo 8 delivers faster cutting, and travels up to 1,350 IPM. With less material waste, faster cycle times, and better edge quality, you can turn around jobs faster and with a higher level of precision than ever before. Cutting speed and quality is superior to plasma. There is less post processing of parts, less dross, and smaller kerf. The fiber laser system requires less maintenance than CO2 lasers, and it boasts a low daily operating cost.
Safety is important to everyone. Apollo 8 gives you more standard safety features than any other laser system in its class. Apollo has an upper and lower enclosure, integrated door switches, parts retrieval cart, and more. A 10” fume extraction port is also optional. Optional camera system and interior lighting, and doors with glass can also be added for improved visibility.
If you have used any of our other products, such as FireControl, then you will already be familiar with LaserControl. It has a full featured interface that allows you to adjust every parameter, but it was built with simplicity and is intuitive to use. LaserControl is both friendly to use, and familiar to ten’s of thousands of users already.

The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser is a precision CNC controlled sheet metal cutting device that utilizes a fiber laser to perform high speed accurate cutting with minimal post processing.
The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser uses our in-house engineered software, LaserControl.
LaserControl is brand consistent with our other software such as FireControl and CutControl ensuring familiarity for our users with this machine and our other products.
The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser can process a full 4’ x 8’ (48” x 96”) sheet with a total travel of 50” x 98” to maximize your processing capabilities. While the cutting capability of the machine is 48” wide, the gantry will clear a 60” sheet.
The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser has both a lower and upper enclosure with door interconnect switches that prevent the laser from firing when the doors are open.
The laser head may be jogged and positioned with the doors off, but the doors must be installed before the laser system will fire.
While the enclosure provides enhanced safety over non-enclosed systems, we ALWAYS recommend that users wear proper laser-rated safety goggles. The enclosure is not optically sealed or FDA approved.
There are options for fume extraction, fume filtering, and camera monitoring while the laser is operational.
Yes. The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser utilizes our own easy to use LaserControl software allowing for even absolute beginners to obtain professional results. If our online resources do not solve your issue, our talented customer service team is available to answer your questions.
The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser can cut up to ½” Carbon Steel
Yes. The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser can cut the following:
Yes, we are partnered with Geneva Capital and Affirm for financing needs of our customers. While you will need to provide the $500 deposit via credit card to initially reserve a machine, financing for the balance can be established via Geneva Capital or Affirm right before your machine ships.
The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser ships via flatbed from our facility in Conroe, Texas. Shipping starts at $2,000 and the final cost varies based on your location. Customers will need to supply a forklift capable of lifting 3000lb and has extended forks
Yes, local pickup orders from our facility in Conroe, Texas can be scheduled to avoid shipping fees. A suitable vehicle with at least 70” of bed width is required to safely transport Apollo. The loading of the machine will be completed by Langmuir Personnel with our equipment. All strapping and securing equipment shall be provided by you, the customer, with no exception. You must make an appointment for pickup by sending an email to [email protected] once your machine is prepared and your balance is paid.
No. The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser ships via flatbed only.
No. The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser ships to the lower 48 states only. Please contact a freight broker for international shipments.
Accessories and options purchased at the same time as the base Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser take advantage of free shipping. Additionally, freight cost is the same for the base machine and the optional accessories, so it is advantageous to include these items during your initial purchase.
Some accessories, such as the Laser Safety Glass Doors, have considerably higher shipping costs if purchased separately at a later date. We highly recommend that all customers consider purchasing their desired accessories with the machine to benefit from reduced shipping costs.
Apollo 8 comes mostly assembled. The upper enclosure does require assembly. Assembly time varies with skill level and selected options and accessories. We expect the average assembly to require 1-2 hours to complete. We recommend the use of a suitable hoist or multiple assemblers for ease of installation with the upper enclosure.
We recommend getting familiar with your machine and its maintenance points to ensure the longevity of its operation. Once you have a good grasp on maintaining your machine, explore LaserControl and familiarize yourself with navigating the software and understanding cut parameters.
All machine components are offered as replaceable items for purchase if stock is available. Send us an email at [email protected] with your needs and we will prepare you an invoice.
No. Apollo 8 needs two separate, dedicated 240VAC single-phase circuits:
• Laser System – 240VAC, single phase, dedicated 25A breaker
• Chiller – 240VAC, single phase, dedicated 20A breaker
We are currently working on additional accessories and features to make the Apollo CNC Fiber Laser user friendly and an efficient tool to perform the tasks at hand. Check our website and social media posts for any upcoming accessories or features.
