Notching in angle iron fabrication for typical transmission tower fabrication can be a costly operation. FICEP has now integrated notching with drilling, punching, marking, shearing to length into one high performance CNC line. The miscellaneous steel fabrication of the angle iron bracing found in tower type structures has never been more completely automated.

This comprehensive steel fabrication technology that FICEP has engineered reduces labor to the minimum possible.

Notching is accommodated in both legs of the angle with a unique arrangement of special notching tools that also perform the shearing to length operation. Several unique innovative features have been incorporated into this unique product to make it the most comprehensive angle line on the market today.

Each punching tool diameter features its own punch cylinder assembly so it can be positioned to the required gage line while other diameters are punched. This eliminates the time to change gages as this occurs in masked time. Up to six different punch press assemblies can be furnished to accommodate different hole size requirements without a tool change.

The line also incorporates two high performance “Direct Drive” drill spindles each with an independent complementary axis so holes can be drilled in both legs of the angle simultaneously even when they are not in line.

Roller material clamp assemblies stay engaged with the angle even during material positioning to eliminate the requirement to clamp and unclamp the material for each punching cycle.

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.

Marking is integrated into the line to establish part identification. This can be achieved with either a system of index able cartridges each containing multiple characters or a fully programmable marking press.

A servo powered hydraulic power unit delivers the optimum combination of oil flow and pressure based upon the actual status of the press cycle.
