Sections drilling
Automatic CNC single spindle drilling lines for sections. Ficep was the first to engineer a CNC controlled horizontal single spindle drilling line to process flats and sections for the structural steel fabrication industry. The Excalibur and Victory are the most recent developments in the family of travelling column CNC drills where the part remains stationary. Thanks to its exclusive design the Excalibur and Victory represents an economically justifiable, versatile and productive solution for small to mid-size firms.
This support table is equipped with a rack and pinion system for fast, accurate and safe drill spindle positioning in the length axis.
A non-contact laser measuring system is provided to sense the end of the section and the top of the web surface for precise hole positioning.
The pieces are strongly clamped in the working position by an automatic double-effect hold down (top and bottom clamping).
The powerful direct drive spindle ensures high drilling performances. This heavy duty, yet simple design, makes this spindle the most efficient and advanced on the market today.
Thanks to the high RPM spindle, carbide tools can be utilized to their maximum efficiency.
Scribing operations can be performed with a special tool.
The automatic tool change system is managed by the CNC and is equipped with 9 positions.
The auxiliary axis allows milling and scribing operations while the part and drill cabin assembly remain stationary.
With the aid of these magnetic devices, it is possible to process plates.
A remote control is supplied to allow the operator to monitor the machine while carrying out other operations, such as material loading/unloading.
Safety bumpers will ensure an automatic stop in case of contact.
