4' x 8' Fiber Laser for Metal Fabrication

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.

Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser FAQ

What is the Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser and what is it used for?

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.

What software is used for the Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser?

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.

What is the cutting area of the Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser?

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.

What safety features are available on the Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser?

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.

I want an Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser but I don’t have any CNC laser cutting experience. Is it still a good choice for me?

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.

What is the maximum material thickness that I can cut on the Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser?

The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser can cut up to ½” Carbon Steel

Can I cut other materials on the Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser?

Yes. The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser can cut the following:

  1. Up to ½” Carbon Steel
  2. Up to 7/32” Stainless Steel
  3. Up to 3/16” Aluminum and Brass
Can I finance the purchase of Apollo 8?

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.

How does Apollo 8 ship and what does it cost?

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

Can I pick up my Apollo 8 in-person to avoid shipping costs?

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.

Is lift Gate service available upon delivery?

No. The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser ships via flatbed only.

Do you ship Apollo Internationally?

No. The Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser ships to the lower 48 states only. Please contact a freight broker for international shipments.

Are accessories and options more affordable if purchased at the same time as Apollo 8?

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.

How long does it take to assemble Apollo 8?

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.

Now that my Apollo 8 is assembled and operable, what’s next?

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.

Are replacement parts available?

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.

Can Apollo 8 be run on 120V power?

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

What future add-ons are currently in the works?

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.

What is the warranty on the Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser?

Please see our Warranty, Refund, and Return Policy for full details on warranties, returns, and refunds.

What is the return and Refund Policy for the Apollo 8 CNC Fiber Laser?

Please refer to our Returns and Refund Policy.
