The company describes itself as making innovative, all-in-one abrasive sanding machines and components, and has provided tailored solutions for wood, metal and composite/plastic parts processing since 2010. Its services center on machine sales, application consultation and the supply of abrasive belts and strip brushes; the company also sells replacement abrasives for its sanding discs. The finishing processes the machines are built to perform are listed on the site as deburring, edge rounding, surface finishing and polishing, grinding and slag removal, and paint and surface preparation. Apex states that its machines produce a quality finish on parts originating from plasma, laser, waterjet or stamping processes. Apex is a manufacturer of its own equipment rather than a dealer for outside machine brands. The website does not list any third-party machine brands or represented lines; the only outside brand reference published is that its barrel brush head produces a "Scotch-Brite style" finish. Solutions pages on the site cover grinding and slag removal, sheet metal deburring, sheet metal finishing, sheet metal rounding, surface preparation, small part deburring, plastic and composites sanding, and wood sanding. Customers reach the company by phone at 952-895-1518 or toll-free at 855-500-APEX (2739), or through the contact and request-a-quote forms on the site. The site does not publish prices, price lists, cost figures, rates or fees for any machine, and it does not publish stock, delivery or lead times. It also does not publish business hours. For a quote, cost estimate or any question about availability, the company asks customers to contact it directly.

The territory Apex serves, as published, is the United States and Canada. The home page states that customers across the United States and Canada rely on the company, and the About page says its central Minneapolis location lets it service customers located throughout the United States and Canada. The dry metal machines page repeats that Apex serves U.S. and Canadian customers with support and consultations, and the wood sanding page refers to U.S. and Canada woodworking professionals. No areas served beyond the United States and Canada are listed, and the site does not name individual states, provinces or metro territories.

Pricing is handled by quote. The request-a-quote page asks the customer to complete a form so the company can prepare a machine quote based on the application needs described. An EZ Sander Instant Quote page is also listed in the site navigation. Customers can also call 952-895-1518 to speak with an application specialist, or use the general contact form. Before quoting, Apex offers a sample program. The site invites customers to send a sample of their parts along with a control sample; Apex processes them on the machine that best meets the application and returns the sample parts along with a video showing the parts being run. The site calls this a fast, no-obligation sample. Financing is available through third-party lenders Apex has partnered with. The financing page states that financing is available for up to 100 percent of the purchase price, including sales tax and freight charges, and that an electronic application gives a quick credit decision. It refers to Section 179, under which businesses may deduct the full purchase price of financed equipment, and links to a Section 179 savings calculator. No interest rates, terms, payment amounts or approval criteria are published. Because no cost, price or rate is published, any figure for a machine, an abrasive order, freight, installation or a financing payment has to come from Apex directly. The same applies to delivery timelines, stock and lead times, and warranty terms, none of which appear on the site. Request a quote or estimate by phone or through the online form.

The abrasives page adds aerospace, agriculture, food service, manufacturing and construction as industries served. The site explains why each fits. Pharmaceutical and food service applications call for precision finishing that lowers the potential for contamination, with no holes in the material in which bacteria can grow. Architectural and elevator parts must be aesthetically pleasing while remaining strong enough for daily use and weight bearing, which the site says makes the industry a good fit for non-directional finishes. Automotive and marine work is described as more form-focused, with powder coating and anodizing paint prep considered, and clean burr-free edges needed for downstream bending and welding. For aerospace, the site states no dust collection is necessary when processing mixed metals and aluminum. By material, Apex says its brush-backed sanding strips serve metal for deburring, graining, surface conditioning, laser oxide removal and paint adhesion; wood for denibbing, stain denibbing, raw wood sanding, sealer and paint scuffing, distressing and panel cleaning; plastics for de-flashing, surface conditioning, deburring, fine finishing and leveling; and composites for fiber removal, surface conditioning, deburring and edge radiusing. Wet processing is recommended for thinner parts such as aluminum, where temperature rise and finer grits are a concern, and dry processing for grinding at lower, coarser grits where temperature is not a primary concern. The company does not publish prices, rates or availability for any of this work. Customers with an application question can call 952-895-1518 or use the contact form to request a quote.

Within the metal and wood lines the machines are sold as 1000, 2000 and 3000 Series, which the site says correspond to production level and the number of shifts per day, from 0.5 to 3. Dry metal machines finish, deburr and grind parts without coolant, which the site describes as suited to shops processing steel and other minimally flammable metals. The 1000 Series is described as compact, handling dross removal, precision sizing, deburring, edge radiusing and finishing. The 2000 Series is built for heavier production and adds slag grinding, surface preparation and polishing. The 3000 Series is described as built for continuous production and heavy-duty automation. A Top and Bottom dry metal brush machine processes both surfaces in a single pass using synchronized oscillating and rotating sanding discs. The wet metal line covers the same 1000, 2000 and 3000 Series for deburring, dross removal, calibrating and dimensioning, edge radiusing, paint and surface preparation, and finishing or polishing. The site says wet 3000 Series machines are built for multiple-shift, seven-day-per-week operations. Wood sanding machines cover calibrating, white-wood sanding, veneer sanding, sealer sanding, brushing, denibbing and distressing, with cross-grain removal added on the 2000 Series and full-spectrum sanding on the 3000 Series. The EZ Sander is described as a 37-inch widebelt, single-head machine for light deburring, sanding and grinding with a digital readout. Apex also supplies abrasive belts and strip brushes with grit-impregnated nylon, aluminum oxide, non-woven, zirconia, ceramic and silicon carbide bristles. Prices, rates and availability for machines or abrasives are not published; contact the company for a quote.

Machines are available in working widths from 13 inches to 64 inches, in top, bottom and top/bottom configurations, and can range from a single head unit up to four heads in either wet or dry operation. The About page states machines can process parts as small as 1 inch by 1 inch, while the configuration page describes accommodating parts as small as a business card, 3 inches by 3 inches, using an Apex-style sticky belt and cleaning device. Three working head types are published. The wide-belt drum head, called the D Unit, is for grinding and slag removal, removing laser dross and plasma slag, eliminating primary vertical burrs, and graining and near-mirror polishing. The brush disk head, called the S Unit, is for deburring and edge rounding, achieving up to 2 mm edge radiusing, removing laser oxide and secondary burrs, and producing a non-directional finish. The barrel brush head, called the B Unit, is for surface finishing and polishing, including Scotch-Brite style brushing, hairline and Duplo finishes, and #4 to #7 finishes. On the 2000 Series and 3000 Series, cam adjustment is published as down to .001 inch per head. Wood machines are listed with dual pinch rolls for part feeding, automotive-grade abrasive belt tracking, built-in widths from 13 to 64 inches, and multiple configurations with drum, cutter head, brush and disc heads depending on the model. The site does not publish motor horsepower ratings, conveyor speeds, electrical requirements, machine weights, footprints or full spec sheets per model, and it publishes no prices or cost figures. A downloadable brochure is offered on the site, and application specialists can be reached at 952-895-1518.
