With particular reference to the wind tower world, the challenge today is to satisfy the demand of more powerful towers. This means well dimensioned foundations with higher towers having bigger diameter, considerable material thickness and extremely tight tolerances. Ficep faces this challenge with its own solution in the pre-rolling plate preparation process, which typically includes:
Plates transferred from the external stocking area to shotblasting machines thanks to our automatic or semi-automatic handling systems, including roller conveyors and cross transfer tables
Shotblasting systems
Plates transferred through our handling systems to an inter-operational buffer
Thermal cutting with our KRONOS systems
Milling, scribing, marking with our ENERGY

The Kronos are heavy-duty gantry style plates processors engineered for the preparation of plates for welding. Of course, this is not the only application: 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.
Find moreEnergy is the CNC working center specifically designed and manufactured to mill and mark the plates required for the manufacturing of wind towers, TP and foundations. A powerful and innovative solution that achieves high productivity, versatility and performances. The Energy includes many technological highlights which result in unique advantages for the customers, such as: fast processing speed, high accuracy and excellent chip removal thanks to the power generated by the 70/123 kW (94/165 HP) spindles. Great productivity is achieved and the ability to face challenging working cycles with maximum precision is guaranteed with the use of a high tech probing solution.
