FICEP manufactures this machine since more than thirty years and it recently became one of the benchmarks for every machine tool manufacturer.
CNC automatic beam line for drilling shaped and flat profiles, FICEP Excalibur is the first monospindle gantry drilling line to process beams for the steel construction industry working with the CANTILEVER system.
The machine is hanging on and moves along its loading table.
This simple and brilliant solution proposing a machine hanging on its loading table offers to small and mid-size steel constructions a drilling unit at:
Thanks to a set of wheels mounted on bearings, the drilling unit main body slides on a sturdy support crossing the loading table.
This support is equipped with a rack that, through a toothed pinion, guarantees the machine precise movement. An electro-mechanical sensor surveys the piece origin and allows to start the working cycle. The piece to be processed does not move and it's strongly clamped in the working position by an automatic double-effect hold-down (top and bottom clamping).
