The CNC drilling machine, Excalibur 12, uses unique steel fabrication technology to achieve industry-leading productivity for a traveling column single spindle drilling line. Ficep first invented this movable drill spindle concept in the 80’s and has engineered different enhanced versions over the years.

When processing structural shapes on the Excalibur 12 the section remains stationary and unclamped on the material support table as just the drill positions along the structural steel section to be drilled. The drill senses the leading end of the section and is then positioned to the programmed locations by means of a positive rack and pinion system. Once in position the onboard hydraulic material clamp, in conjunction with non-contact laser technology, is utilized to probe the material surfaces.

The Excalibur 12 is engineered with FICEP’s “Direct Drive” spindle technology to deliver 100% of the motor’s 19KW (25 HP) power to the tool at speed up to 5,000 RPM. The positive spindle feed is with a ball screw to take full advantage of today’s high performance carbide tooling.

One of the most innovative features of the Excalibur 12 is the sub axis positioning of the drilling spindle. This capability enables the section to remain rigidly clamped when drilling a hole pattern, scribing layout information including the orientation mark and welding symbol or performing milling of slots or copes for example.
A six-position automatic tool changer is engineered into the Excalibur 12 to take full advantage of its ability to perform multiple operations.

The main electrical cabinet with 3-phase power is mounted on the movable drill assembly to reduce the wiring required to the movable drill cabinet.

A wireless remote control is furnished so the operator can be totally engaged in material loading and unloading while the drill line is fully engaged.
