Ficep ENERGY CNC Gantry Working Center for Plate Edge Milling

• Milling
• Drilling
• Scribing

The power generated by the 70/123 kW (94/165 HP) spindles drives the milling tools at a very high torque. This power, in combination with the performances of the tools with HSK-B160 adapters, offers an excel­lent chip removal for fast, accurate and efficient processing.

The Energy carries out all the bevels required by the different welding technologies: Y, K, V, X, U/J, J/Y. It is possible to design customized milling tools with specific geometries according to the customer needs.

Accurate Edge Preparation is the new FICEP process which allows the ENERGY to be so performing. High processing speed and extremely complex bevels with no modification to the material properties and substantial beveling quality, are just a few of the characteristics that makes the A.E.P. process unique.

The spindle engineering and power guarantees a very high chip removal rate. The high working and po­sitioning speed, that reaches up to 30 mt/min (98 FPM) on the X axis, the quick tool change, the wide working table and the ability to process all four edges of the plate in one clamping makes the ENERGY and extremely productive solution.

FICEP fully controls the manufacturing process thus ensuring the use of the best raw material and com­ponents that guarantees long term satisfaction.

The spindles are equipped with an extremely precise probing device to locate all the required plate surfaces. The tool changer system, mounted on board of the spindle, automates and expedites the tool replacement phase in order to quickly start the next process.

• The technological design of the gantry, together with the reduced overall dimension of the spindles, offers excellent processing flexibility. This design permits the possibility to process both small and large plates.
• The gantry stroke is extended and allows the quick and easy tool replacement in the tool changer. The tool changer travels outside the table width to facilitate access to the tools.
• The CNC interface is simple and user-friendly which guar­antees a quick and comfortable use of the machine by the operator. The system layout allows for easy tooling setup and maintenance procedures.
• The gantry system with two separate working areas optimizes the plate loading and unloading phases in masked time to achieve significant productivity rates.
