Excalibur 12 CNC Single Spindle Drill 
The Ficep Excalibur 12 is uniquely different than all other single spindles CNC drill lines currently on the market. This new product line features an exclusive secondary "X" axis with improved acc
uracy and productivity as it is not necessary to unclamp, reposition and re-clamp for each "X" axis (length axis) movement. This capability also permits scribing on all four surfaces to eliminate all manual layout which can be automatically imported from such CAD systems as SDS2 as a DSTV file or Tekla in the form of an XML file. The secondary axis also provides the ability to generate slotted holes, copes and large holes that exceed the maximum capability of the Excalibur 12.
The Excalibur is also furnished with a ball screw spindle feed that features a 25 HP direct drive spindle design that generates up to 3,000 RPM to use carbide tools to their maximum capability.
Once the spindle is at the programmed position, top and bottom internal clamps quickly secures the material as the drill positions to the programmed gauge line and commences drilling.
The versatility of this CNC system can be exhibited when processing the following typical applications:
- Flange drilling
- Web drilling
- Automatic sequencing from one section to the next
- Angles
- Plate detail
- Structural tubes

Our wireless remote control system eliminates up to 30% of the operators movements as he does not constantly have to walk up to 60' in each direction just to start the process on the next section. In addition the operator always has access to the emergency stop on his wireless remote to assure safe operation.
Our competitor promotes drilling speed at 6 3/8 inches per minute for 500 holes in 66 minutes and 45 seconds. At the end of the 500 holes the beam could not be wetter if it fell in the ocean! Take a look at what drilling at 13 inches per minute (without coolant running down the beam) gets you with the Excalibur 12. A hole approximately every 5 seconds or 500 holes in just 43 minutes and 26 seconds!
Orient 12 Model 1201 DF
Single/Double Spindle CNC Drill Line
The Orient 12 Model 1201 DF CNC drill line processes material in a conventional fashion as the sections are positioned automatically to the required length dimension along the infeed and outfeed conveyor. The single or dual spindles of the 1201 DF automatically rotate up to a full 180 degrees in less then one second to accommodate any hole requirements in either flange or the web.
This system is equipped as standard with a six-position automatic tool changer to not only facilitate different holes size requirements but such applications as countersinking, milling for slotted holes and tapping. The proprietary Ficep software automatically determines when a tool is dull and changes this automatically to a re-sharpened tool.
