Unlock Superior Productivity with the Ficep Excalibur-12 CNC Beam Drill Line
The Ficep Excalibur-12 represents the next generation of CNC beam drilling technology, engineered to meet the demanding productivity goals of today’s structural steel fabricators. Its high-speed, fully automated operation enables manufacturers to process structural beams, channels, and profiles with remarkable efficiency. By integrating advanced automation, the Excalibur-12 minimizes manual intervention, allowing operators to focus on workflow optimization and project management.
Designed for high-throughput environments, this drill line streamlines the drilling of holes, slots, and layout marks on steel beams up to 48 inches in width. Whether handling custom fabrication or large-scale production runs, the Excalibur-12 delivers consistent results that translate into faster project turnaround and greater shop capacity.
Achieve Unmatched Drilling Precision for Steel Fabrication Projects
Precision is paramount in steel fabrication, where even minor errors can result in costly rework or compromised structural integrity. The Ficep Excalibur-12 employs advanced CNC controls and servo-driven axes to ensure pinpoint accuracy in every drilled hole. Its intelligent feedback systems monitor spindle position and drilling parameters in real time, virtually eliminating the risk of misalignment or dimensional variance.
This unparalleled precision makes the Excalibur-12 ideal for fabricators serving industries such as construction, infrastructure, and heavy equipment manufacturing, where adherence to tight tolerances is non-negotiable. The result is a flawless fit-up in downstream assembly, reduced need for manual touch-ups, and enhanced end-product quality.
Streamline Workflow with Automated CNC Technology
Manual drilling operations are labor-intensive and prone to inconsistencies. The Excalibur-12’s fully automated CNC platform transforms this process, enabling seamless execution of complex drilling patterns, countersinking, and layout marking—all from a centralized control panel. Operators can load part programs directly from CAD/CAM software, ensuring flawless data transfer and eliminating transcription errors.
With its built-in material handling features, the Excalibur-12 reduces downtime associated with repositioning and setup. The intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) allows for rapid job changeovers, making it easy to shift between different projects or profiles with minimal delay. This automation not only accelerates production but also fosters a safer, more ergonomic workplace.
Maximize Throughput While Minimizing Labor and Setup Time
Time is money in fabrication, and the Excalibur-12 is designed to keep both in check. Its high-speed spindle and automated tool changer enable continuous, unattended operation—even during the most demanding drilling cycles. Multiple drill heads can be configured to tackle simultaneous operations, multiplying throughput without increasing labor requirements.
The Excalibur-12’s quick-clamp system and automatic datum referencing mean that setup times are dramatically reduced. Operators can load new beams, initiate drilling sequences, and move on to the next task without bottlenecks. This efficiency is especially valuable for shops balancing a diverse project portfolio and tight delivery schedules.
Reduce Material Waste and Ensure Consistent Quality
Material waste can erode profits and disrupt project timelines. The Excalibur-12 combats this challenge by delivering precise, repeatable drilling results from the first beam to the last. Its advanced software optimizes hole placement and minimizes scrap, ensuring that every piece meets exacting specifications.
Quality assurance is embedded at every stage, with the CNC system monitoring tool wear and alerting operators to maintenance needs before defects occur. This proactive approach reduces the likelihood of rework, increases yield, and supports a lean manufacturing environment with minimal waste.
Boost Your Shop’s Competitiveness with Advanced Features
Equipped with industry-leading features, the Excalibur-12 positions fabricators at the forefront of technology. Its robust spindle motor, intelligent tool management, and integrated measurement systems allow for the processing of a wide range of profiles and material thicknesses. Optional accessories, such as automatic scribing units and laser part marking, further expand the machine’s versatility.
For shops looking to differentiate themselves, the ability to offer faster turnaround, higher accuracy, and custom drilling patterns can be a decisive advantage. The Excalibur-12 empowers businesses to pursue new contracts, serve more demanding clients, and consistently exceed industry standards.
Lower Operational Costs and Accelerate ROI
Investing in the Excalibur-12 delivers measurable cost savings across multiple fronts. By consolidating multiple manual operations into a single automated process, shops reduce labor expenses, minimize overtime, and lower the risk of workplace injuries. Its energy-efficient drive systems and optimized cycle times contribute to reduced utility costs over the machine’s lifetime.
With a proven track record of reliability, the Excalibur-12 requires minimal maintenance, further decreasing total cost of ownership. Most importantly, its ability to increase output and reduce lead times supports a rapid return on investment, enabling fabricators to scale operations and grow profitability with confidence.
