Frequent asked questions
What is the difference between a water-cooled spindle and an air-cooled spindle?
The main difference between the two is in the suitable materials and processing intensity. The water-cooled spindle uses water circulation for cooling, with better heat dissipation and lower operating noise. The air-cooled spindle uses a fan for heat dissipation. Processing high-hardness materials will produce a lot of heat. The water-cooled structure can keep the temperature stable and avoid tool wear and spindle overheating problems. The APS-1020 is equipped with a water-cooled spindle and spray system as standard, which can meet the processing needs from wood to soft metals.
Is the machine difficult to operate?
The APS-1020 uses a full English operating system and is also equipped with a complete operation manual. We provide operation training videos and remote technical support services. The machine is simple to operate. Beginners can operate the machine independently after short-term training.
How is my machine transported, and how do I install it after receiving it?
The machine will complete a full set of inspections before leaving the factory. We will disassemble and arrange the machine, then pack it together to fully ensure transportation safety. We will provide video and document installation tutorials. After you receive the machine, whether it is installation or debugging, you can contact us at any time. Our technical team is online 24 hours a day to assist you.
What about the warranty and after-sales service?
Before the machine is shipped, we will provide real machine test videos and pictures for you to check and confirm. The whole machine has a one-year warranty, and we also provide lifetime free technical consultation. We will provide you with online technical support through phone, email, and other channels. If needed, we can also provide on-site service.

Metal Decoration Processing Factory
November 5, 2025
This machine is commonly used to process aluminum composite panels. The machine body is solid, and there is little vibration during cutting operations. The spray cooling system is very helpful for long-time processing. When processing aluminum panels, the tool is not easy to overheat, and the processed surface quality is also relatively stable.
