FICEP EXCALIBUR DERC three spindle beam drilling and coping 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.
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 multitasking control for the highest performances
The drilling heads are equipped with the DE spindle for high performances in medium depths drilling and standard drilling. FICEP DE beam drill machines are combined with plasma or oxy robotic thermal cutting units (RC) 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.
This combination of drilling and cartesian semispheric robotic coping represents a unique solution in versatilità. If there is a difficult shape, a funny shape, an accurate connection shape to be realized on a long profile this machine can do it.

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 criteria.
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.
