Compact and Efficient CNC Drilling for Structural Steel Fabrication
The FICEP EXCALIBUR is a high-precision CNC single-spindle drilling line designed specifically for structural steel fabricators requiring an economical and productive drilling solution.
Manufactured by FICEP, one of the world’s leading suppliers of structural steel fabrication machinery, the EXCALIBUR is part of a family of advanced travelling column CNC drilling machines where the workpiece remains stationary while the drilling cabin moves along the beam.
This innovative design reduces floor space requirements while delivering the precision and reliability expected from FICEP equipment.
The EXCALIBUR is an ideal solution for small to mid-sized fabrication workshops looking to automate drilling operations while maintaining a compact machine footprint.
Key Features
• CNC single-spindle beam drilling line
• Compact travelling column design
• Workpiece remains stationary during drilling
• Requires up to 50% less floor space than conventional beam drill lines
• High precision drilling for structural steel fabrication
• Ideal for small to mid-sized fabrication shops
Travelling Column Design
The EXCALIBUR uses an advanced travelling column drilling system, allowing the drilling unit to move along the length of the beam while the workpiece remains stationary.
This design provides several advantages:
• Reduced machine footprint
• Improved stability during drilling operations
• Increased accuracy and repeatability
• Simplified material handling
Auxiliary Spindle Axis
The EXCALIBUR features a unique auxiliary axis on the spindle, allowing operations to be performed without repositioning the machine cabin.
Benefits include:
• Increased drilling flexibility
• Improved machining precision
• Reduced stress on the linear guide system
• Longer machine service life
Floor-Level Cabin Movement
The drilling cabin travels at floor level, preventing interference with drill chips during machining operations.
This improves reliability and helps maintain smooth machine operation in demanding fabrication environments.
Remote Diagnostics
The system supports remote diagnostics via network connection, allowing service technicians to perform system analysis and troubleshooting without requiring an on-site visit.
This helps minimise downtime and ensures faster support when required.
Integrated Processing Capabilities
The EXCALIBUR can perform multiple fabrication operations including:
• Drilling
• Scribing
• Milling
• Countersinking
• Tapping
These capabilities allow steel fabricators to produce finished components more efficiently.
Structural Shapes Processed
The machine is capable of processing a wide range of structural steel sections including:
• Beams
• Angles
• Flats
• Channels
• Square tubes
• Rectangular tubes
Typical Applications
• Structural steel fabrication
• Steel construction projects
• Fabrication workshops
• Engineering companies
