"XP" SERIES : CNC LINE FOR PUNCHING, MARKING AND SHEARING 

FICEP "XP" range of angle processing lines represents a real breakthrough in the Transmission Towers field. These brand new lines is FICEP's response to an always more demanding world in which the fabricators have to face with very hard  schedules with high productivity and high accuracy requirements.

The "XP" lines are unique CNC multiple process work cells, where a profile enters as a stock length and exits as a complete part, after a combination of programmed processes such as Punching, Marking and Shearing.

The advanced design and the robustness of the lines are providing flexibility, reliability, simplicity in use allowing at the same time high precision with minimum loss of material.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

PUNCHING UNITS : Super fast punching operations on one (1), two (2) or three (3) punching diameters per flange, ensured by the new hydraulic power pack. Each punching unit has its own cylinder and independent positioning system for faster pre-positioning. In addition, each punching unit is fitted with easy removable punch-holders for quick punch and die change

SHEARING UNIT : Faster Single cut shearing unit, whose force and speed are automatically adjusted by the CNC according to the material size being processed. All shearing blades are manufactured internally to guarantee best quality and longer tool life

MARKING UNIT : Marking of pieces is possible thanks to the rotating disc marking unit or to the classic drawer-type marking device

NEW GENERATION HYDRAULIC POWER PACK : Hydraulic power pack of new concept, allowing the automatic CNC controlled adjustment of the working units pressureto optimize each operation. Thanks to outstanding improvements to the hydraulic circuits, a considerable reduction in cycle times is obtained with higher performance

FAST ANGLE FEEDING SYSTEM : Improved high speed and precise carriage with pincher system for fast and accurate angle feeding through the working units at a speed of 120 mt/min

FASTER MATERIAL POSITIONING : The "XP" lines are equipped with a brand new hold-down system which constantly keep contact with the material even during positioning

BAR LENGTH DETECTION : thanks to a Laser device positioned on the infeed rollerway it is possible to exactly detect the bar length and position 

IDDLE ROLLS CONVEYORS : Infeed and Outfeed conveyors fitted with iddle rolls for manual profiles handling

ROTATING LOADING SYSTEM : Special system with V-shaped supports for the automatic loading of the angles onto the infeed iddle rolls conveyor

CROSS TRANSFER SYSTEM : All FICEP lines can be configured with infeed and outfeed cross transfer tables to allow Automatic Loading / Unloading of bars and processed pieces
