Steel Angle Fabrication by FICEP Uses Unique Steel Fabrication Techniques in Rapid 16 Angle Drill

Описание: https://www.ficepgroup.com/steel-cons...

Steel angle fabrication for transmission tower fabrication, steel bridge fabrication, for example steel bridge stiffeners and structures where drilling, milling, scribing, tapping, countersinking, marking and cutting to length is desired the Rapid 16 addresses these task.

The Rapid 16 incorporates two high performance “Direct Drive” drill spindles that can accept up to six different tools automatically with an integrated tool changer. Each spindle features a secondary sub axis for spindle positioning in the length axis. This sub-axis capability permits holes to be drilled in each leg simultaneously even if they are not in the same alignment. Typical hole patterns can be drilled without the need to unclamp and re-clamp the material for each spindle operation to reduce the cycle times drastically. This unique sub-axis capability affords the ability to perform milling operations such as the generation on large holes or even the milling of the angle heel, which is typically required on the legs of transmission towers.

Angles up to 160 mm or 6” can be processed on the Rapid 16.

As an option the Rapid 16 can be equipped with an assortment of different options to accommodate most angle notching, clipping or coping operations. The ability to integrate this capability into the angle line enables the line to start with a stock length and unload a finished part that is punched, marked, notched and sheared to length without any manual functions.

A positive rack and pinion material positioning system generates industry leading accuracy and speed. The carriage positioning system enables full automation including automatic stock length loading, measuring, discharge of finished parts and the removal of the scrap or drops while maximizing material utilization. This unique level of automation permits one attendant to monitor the production of several lines.

Additional capabilities such as part marking can be integrated into the line. Marking can be achieved with either a system of index able cartridges each containing multiple characters or a fully programmable marking press.

Cutting to length can be accomplished with either a hydraulic single cut shear or a circular saw using carbide inserts for unbelievable productivity and finish.
