Overview

The Amada APELIO V-2510 is a CNC punch/laser combination machine that integrates a high-capacity turret punch press with a CO2 or fiber laser cutting head on a single platform. The APELIO series has been one of Amada's flagship combination machine lines, combining the speed of turret punching for standard features with laser precision for contours, fine details, and complex profiles — all in a single sheet load and without inter-machine transfer.

The V designation in the APELIO V-2510 reflects a vertical laser head configuration that works in coordination with the punch turret. The 2510 suffix indicates the nominal sheet working area: 2,500 mm x 1,250 mm, covering the standard full-sheet format. The machine processes this full sheet area for both punch and laser operations, allowing complex parts with a mix of punched features (holes, louvers, embosses, taps) and laser-cut contours to be completed in a single setup.

On the punching side, the APELIO V-2510 delivers 300 kN of force with a turret accommodating up to 58 tool stations — among the largest tooling capacities in the combination machine class. High station count minimizes tool-change requirements for complex programs with many feature types. The punching mechanism achieves up to 600 hits per minute, providing competitive throughput for hole-intensive panels.

The integrated laser section — typically a Amada-branded CO2 source in earlier models or a fiber laser in current configurations — provides clean edge quality for contour cutting, handles features below practical punch minimum size, and enables complex shapes that turret tooling cannot produce. The laser path uses Amada's Auto-Correct Torch system for consistent cut quality across sheet thickness variations.

Programming is managed through Amada's AP100 or VPSS (Virtual Prototype Simulation System) software, which simultaneously plans punching and laser paths from a single part file, automatically allocating each feature to the optimal process. The APELIO V-2510 is well established in the aerospace component, electrical enclosure, and precision sheet metal fabrication sectors where part complexity demands both process types on every job.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the APELIO V-2510's approach to allocating features between punch and laser?

Amada's AP100 and VPSS CAM software automatically analyzes the part geometry and assigns each feature — holes, slots, contours, forms — to either the punch or laser based on size, shape, and efficiency. Round holes above minimum punch size go to the turret for speed; contours and sub-minimum holes go to the laser. The programmer can override allocations manually.

02 How does the 58-station turret improve production on the APELIO V-2510?

With 58 simultaneous tool stations, complex part programs requiring many different punch forms, hole sizes, and special tools can be run without stopping to change tools mid-run. This is particularly valuable for job shop environments with high part variety, where frequent tool changes would otherwise dominate cycle time.

03 Is a fiber laser version of the APELIO V-2510 available?

Yes. Amada has offered APELIO models with both CO2 and fiber laser sources. Fiber variants provide better performance on reflective materials (aluminum, copper, brass) and lower operating costs. Availability depends on the specific model generation — later APELIO iterations are more likely to offer or default to fiber configurations.

04 What laser cutting thickness is the APELIO V-2510 capable of?

With a 2.5 kW CO2 source, the laser section typically cuts mild steel up to 12 mm and stainless up to 4 mm at production quality. Fiber laser configurations may offer different cutting envelopes depending on power level. Thin sheet cutting speed on fiber is significantly faster than equivalent CO2 power.

05 What industries commonly use the Amada APELIO V-2510?

The APELIO V-2510 is widely used in aerospace structural component fabrication, electrical enclosure and switchgear manufacturing, precision sheet metal contract fabrication, HVAC and building products, and transportation equipment production — any application where part programs consistently include both punched features and laser-cut contours.
