SECTION SHAPES
Double axis rotary head

Double-axis rotary head

The working head features two rotary axes positioned at a 45° angle, enabling operations on double inclined planes without the need for profiled tools. The head is powered by a robust 32 kW (S1) three-phase asynchronous motor, delivering 100% power to the tool for complex drilling, tapping, and milling operations.

Electro-spindle cutting tool

Electro-spindle cutting tool

XBLADE is designed with an innovative cutting tool equipped with a 560 mm diameter disc cutting blade capable of processing all five sides of the profile. A patented system is employed to increase cutting torque, enhancing overall performance.

Automatic tool rack

Automatic tool rack

Equipped with an automatic tool rack featuring eight positions for standard tools, two positions for large tools, and one position dedicated to the 560 mm disc blade.

Section clamping system

Section clamping system

Independently mobile vices can be positioned along the X-axis and locked in place by a pneumatic clamping system. Rollers facilitate the handling of material during processing, allowing the rearrangement of vices.

Compact design

Compact design

Thanks to the compact design with integrated electrical cabinet, air conditioning, and spindle fluid cooling systems, this configuration optimizes workshop space and requires minimal operator supervision.

Profile Nesting XBLADE

Profile nesting

Profile nesting can be programmed and optimized through Ficep XBLADE Office Technology software. The embedded CAM software generates the ISO program, facilitating the launch of the working cycle.

Polaris XBLADE

Polaris

Open CNC Technology enhances CNC and PC integration via high-speed fiber optic communication. Featuring a fanless design for reliability, IP65 protection, and a 22″ capacitive multi-touch display, it includes 2D/3D visualization, nesting, and remote assistance with Windows 10 IoT.
