FICEP VANGUARD three spindle beam drilling machines are optionally equipped with automatic tool-changer on each head and, thanks to the complete closed loop electronic control, in addition to drilling they can also carry out milling, tapping, countersinking and scribing in order to mark material with part numbering or layout marking for welding and fit up purposes.
The drilling heads are equipped with the DF spindle for high performances in deep drilling and standard drilling. FICEP beam drill machines can be combined with Ficep band saws (DJB-DFB-DEB) to carry out straight or mitred cuts (+45/-60 degrees) or with plasma or oxy robotic thermal cutting units (DJRC- DFRC-DERC) to automatically cut shapes such as coping or flange thinning, ratholes, weld prepping, splitting in the section which cannot be done by a sawing unit.
Machine Features
- Automatic and centralized lubrication system
- Hydraulic Power pack and CNC developed with field bus technology (CAN-bus)
- Ficep Minosse CNC unit with multi axes multi-tasking control for the highest performances

FICEP takes care of the ergonomic and safety details during the design activities. The machines comply with the CE regulations and each layout can be designed suggesting to the customer the most functional and safe criterias.
Safety does not mean lost in production.

On the contrary, well thought and engineered safety solutions pushed FICEP engineers to think about functionalities that involve very reduced interventions, if not none, from the operator over the machine cycle. The consequences of this approach are reflected in a much reduced variance from cycle to cycle of the machine performance giving higher throughputs in the short and long run.
