Automated Structural Steel Coping and Processing
The FICEP NOZOMI is an advanced 9-axis CNC robotic plasma coping system designed for automated thermal processing of structural steel sections.
Manufactured by FICEP, one of the world’s leading suppliers of structural steel fabrication machinery, the NOZOMI robot delivers high-precision thermal cutting for a wide range of steel profiles including beams, channels, angles and tubes.
Using advanced Hypertherm plasma technology, the system allows fabricators to perform coping, weld preparation, hole cutting and marking in one automated operation.
The NOZOMI dramatically reduces manual layout, marking and grinding while improving productivity, accuracy and repeatability in structural steel fabrication.
Key Features
• 9-axis CNC robotic plasma coping system
• Automated processing of structural steel shapes
• Eliminates manual layout, marking and grinding
• High productivity automated thermal processing
• Reduced labour and predictable production times
• Compact system requiring minimal shop floor space
Plasma Cutting Technology
The NOZOMI system uses advanced Hypertherm plasma cutting technology, enabling precise thermal processing of structural steel components.
Features include:
• High-definition plasma cutting
• Accurate coping and contour cutting
• Hypertherm True Hole technology for improved hole quality
• High-speed processing of complex shapes
Integrated Marking Capability
The plasma torch can also perform part marking and layout marking, allowing multiple fabrication operations to be completed within the same processing cell.
Marking functions include:
• Part identification marking
• Layout and orientation marks
• Weld preparation symbols
This eliminates separate marking operations and improves fabrication efficiency.
Automated Structural Steel Processing
The NOZOMI robot allows fabricators to automate a range of operations that would normally require manual layout and cutting.
Typical operations include:
