Frequently Asked Questions

What does “EXW Taizhou” mean?

EXW (Ex Works) means the machine price excludes shipping, export clearance, and installation. APEX provides final delivered pricing as a separate line item. Total delivered price is typically 15โ€“25% higher than EXW depending on destination.

How accurate is this ROI calculator?

The calculator uses real machine specifications verified against APEX product catalogs and customer case studies. The German valve factory case (45s โ†’ 8โ€“10s, 3 operators saved/shift) achieved 9-month payback in real production.

Can APEX test my actual parts before I buy?

Yes. Submit your part drawings โ€” APEX engineers run a free spindle-time analysis and cycle time simulation at their Taizhou facility.

What costs should I factor in beyond machine price?

Tooling (initial kit included with APEX machines), installation & commissioning (2โ€“4 weeks on-site), floor preparation, and spare parts. APEX provides a full cost breakdown in every formal quotation.

Rotary Transfer vs Water Wheel โ€” which is right for me?

Rotary transfer uses a turntable to index parts between fixed stations โ€” preferred for complex multi-sided parts. Water wheel has tools on a rotating drum โ€” more compact, lower-cost, ideal for simpler geometries.
