FICEP KRONOS CNC Plate Processing Machine – Plasma, Drilling & Oxy-Fuel Cutting System

Heavy-Duty CNC Plate Processing for Structural Steel Fabrication

The FICEP KRONOS is a high-performance gantry-style CNC plate processing system designed for steel fabricators that require efficient production of plate components from stock plates.

Manufactured by FICEP – one of the world’s leading producers of structural steel fabrication machinery, the KRONOS integrates multiple operations into a single machine, reducing handling time while improving production efficiency and accuracy.

The system is ideal for workshops producing structural steel plate components, base plates, gussets, stiffeners and heavy plate parts.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty gantry CNC plate processing system
• Designed for high productivity plate fabrication environments
• Combines multiple fabrication processes in a single setup
• Reduces material handling and secondary operations
• Available in KRONOS HP, SP and PC models

Integrated Processing Capabilities

The FICEP KRONOS can combine several fabrication processes into one automated cycle:

• Plasma cutting
• Oxy-fuel cutting
• Drilling
• Scribing
• Milling
• Countersinking
• Tapping

This integrated functionality allows fabricators to produce finished plate components in one machine, significantly improving production efficiency.

Hypertherm High-Definition Plasma

The KRONOS can be equipped with one or two high-definition plasma torches for high-quality cutting performance.

Available plasma sources include:

• Hypertherm XPR170
• Hypertherm XPR300

Features include:

• Straight cutting
• Bevel cutting capability
• Hypertherm True Hole technology for improved hole quality

Oxy-Fuel Cutting

The KRONOS HP and SP models can be fitted with up to four oxy-fuel torches, allowing efficient processing of thicker plate materials and increasing productivity for high-volume operations.

Drilling Unit

The KRONOS HP and SP models can be equipped with a drilling unit featuring a 4 or 6 position tool changer, enabling automated drilling and pre-hole operations within the same machine cycle.

Cutting Table and Fume Extraction

The machine includes a heavy-duty cutting bench with grid support designed to hold plates securely during processing.

It is designed to integrate with a fume extraction and filtration system to remove particulate matter produced during thermal cutting operations.

Optional Robotic Unloading System

The KRONOS can be integrated with an optional 4-axis robotic part unloading system, allowing automated removal of finished components to improve workflow and reduce manual handling.
