FICEP VALIANT CNC Beam Drill Line with NOZOMI Plasma Coping Robot

Fully Automated CNC Drilling and Coping Line for Structural Steel Fabrication

The FICEP VALIANT and NOZOMI combination creates a highly efficient automated structural steel fabrication line that integrates drilling, marking and plasma coping into a single production system.

Manufactured by FICEP, one of the world’s leading suppliers of structural steel fabrication machinery, this automated line dramatically improves productivity while eliminating manual layout, marking and thermal cutting operations.

The VALIANT CNC drill line performs precision drilling and marking of structural steel profiles, while the NOZOMI 9-axis plasma coping robot performs automated coping, weld preparation and complex thermal cutting.

Together they form a complete CNC beam processing line capable of producing finished components ready for fabrication and assembly.

Key Features

• Complete CNC drilling and coping automation line
• Integrates drilling, marking and plasma cutting in one system
• Designed for high-productivity structural steel fabrication
• Eliminates manual layout and marking operations
• Reduces grinding and secondary processing
• Improves production accuracy and consistency

FICEP VALIANT CNC Beam Drill Line

The FICEP VALIANT represents the latest evolution in FICEP’s beam drilling technology.

The system features an advanced three-spindle drilling unit designed for efficient processing of rolled structural steel sections.

Advanced Drilling Technology

• Three independent drilling spindles
• Simultaneous drilling on three sides of the section
• Holes can be drilled even when they are not aligned
• Increased productivity for complex fabrication work

Auxiliary Spindle Axis

Each spindle includes an extended 300 mm auxiliary axis, providing greater control and flexibility for drilling operations.

Underside Scribing System

The integrated underside scribing device with sub-axis positioning allows:

• Simultaneous four-side scribing operations
• Accurate part identification and layout marking
• Elimination of manual marking processes

FICEP NOZOMI Plasma Coping Robot

The NOZOMI 9-axis CNC robotic plasma system performs automated thermal cutting of structural steel sections.

Typical coping operations include:

• Beam coping
• Weld preparations
• Mechanical openings
• Contour cutting
• Complex profile cutting

The plasma torch can also perform part marking and layout marking, allowing additional fabrication operations to be completed within the same processing cell.
