Steel fabrication thermal processes such as plate burning with plasma and oxy-fuel is what makes the FICEP Kronos so versatile. The Kronos typically enables multiple remanent plate thicknesses to be stored on the table to be utilized as needed. Change from one plate thickness to the next does not require a manual set up as the plasma torch and drill spindle adjust automatically to the plate thickness to be processed.
The Kronos also delivers plasma bevel cutting for diverse weld prep applications. To enhance the productivity of steel plate fabrication the plate burning system is typically configured with multiple oxy-fuel torches with automated spacing.
The Kronos can also be equipped with multiple plasma torches. Typically the plasma source is from Hypertherm. Today it’s also possible to configure the Kronos with Kjellberg HiFocus 360i neo plasma source, which makes it more versatile and allows also cutting operations on grids and interrupted structures, thanks to the special Hot Wire method.
Drilling capability can be added to the Kronos as an option with ISO 40 tool holders and 6-position automatic tool changer.
The FICEP Gemini can be installed to use the same rails and cutting table as the Kronos. This further maximizes the versatility and productivity of the steel plate detail fabrication processes in essentially the same footprint.
The cutting table can be furnished as a dry down draft system, which removes the particulate that results from the plasma operation. As an alternative the Kronos can also be provided with a water table, which traps the plasma waste in the water.
The Kronos is available in different bed lengths to accommodate longer plates or the table can be sub divided. While one end of the table is processing a stock plate the operator can be removing finished parts from the other end of the table.
