The FICEP Tipo A Series CNC line of steel plate processing machines are designed for:
- Manufacturing of bridges and viaducts
- Heavy structural steel manufacturers
- Manufacturers of agricultural and earth moving machinery or mining equipment
The CNC line Tipo A25LG offers the versatility of one machine for processing of steel plate sections required in the heavy construction industry such as drilling, milling, pointing, tapping, marking, scribing and plasma/oxy cutting with the following advantages:
- Reduced overall dimensions
- Reduced material handling
- Unloading of finished parts while processing
- High processing speeds optimised for carbide drilling and high performance plasma
- Variety of operations & increased productivity
- Precision with one point zero reference for all operations
- Nesting Optimisation
The unit is built with an engineered high strength steel frame and offers a double drill head option. Two independent drilling heads moving on cross guides through balls screw either for the positioning and working drilling axis.
Other features include:
- Each drill head features a 19 kW motor with high speed rotation spindle (3000 RPM)
- Double tool change system with 6 positions
- CNC controlled marking unit with 38 positions
- Plasma cutting torch, moving on the same axis of one of the drilling head
- Option to install also a second thermal cutting torch
- CNC controlled double carriage with pinchers to electronically keep the material along the virtual datum line (no physical datum rollers are used) during processing thus accommodating plates that have poor side mill edges
- Automatic swarf conveyor for the drilling unit
- Infeed and outfeed roller conveyors are 6 meters as standard with options to cater to any length as required
