Transmission towers

The XP T models are the most recent of Ficep’s angle lines whose features are uniquely identified with this industry. The ability to incorporate the punching of multiple diameter hole sizes with notching, marking and cutting to length addresses the typical needs in tower fabrication. A positive rack and pinion material positioning and measuring system generates industry leading accuracy and speeds up to 120 mt/min (395 FPM).

Additional productivity is achieved with the addition of complementary material loading and unloading systems.

The Kronos are heavy-duty gantry style plates processors engineered for the preparation of plates. Kronos allows the manufacturing of typical connection plates, gussets, stiffeners, etc. from stock material up to the finished piece, carrying out all the processes such us cutting, drilling, tapping and scribing. All operations are completed on one working station without the need to move the plates from one work center to the next and with the supervision of only one single operator.

The Kronos can be equipped with four oxy-fuel torches, one or two high definition plasma torches for straight or bevel cuts, using the latest generation Hypertherm XPR170, XPR300 or HPR400XD power sources. It can take advantage of one drilling head with the new 15 kW (20 HP) “Direct Drive” spindle for drilling operations of up to 40mm (1-9/16”) and for scribing operations. Kronos lines can really satisfy every plate processing needs. The bench is made of a robust grid which guarantees the plate stability during processing.
