1 GEMINI Gantry Automatic CNC Drilling, Milling and Thermal Cutting Systems for large plates FICEP since 1930 MADE IN ITALY

Gantry Automatic CNC Drilling, Milling and Thermal Cutting Systems for large plates The complete plate working solution for fabricators and manufacturers of all sizes.

This achieves the lowest cost due to its minimal floor space, low capital investment and productivity.

hardened and ground helical rack on the X & Y & U axes Simple floor mounted installation without the need for special foundations Minimal footprint High speed milling and drilling with 7,000 RPM

2 Gantry Automatic CNC Drilling, Milling and Thermal Cutting Systems for large plates The complete plate working solution for fabricators and manufacturers of all sizes. The Gemini handles from light to heavy plate for thermal cutting, marking, milling, drilling, tapping, bevelling and more, all on one system with unprecedented accuracy. This achieves the lowest cost due to its minimal floor space, low capital investment and productivity. STANDARD TECHNICAL FEATURES Twin beam box construction for minimum deflection when machining Fanuc CNC controls for productive operational reliability and worldwide service support High precision hardened and ground helical rack on the X & Y & U axes Simple floor mounted installation without the need for special foundations Minimal footprint High speed milling and drilling with 7,000 RPM spindle speeds and automatic tool changer Integrated automatic plate clamping requires no set up and eliminates vibration to achieve high rates of productivity and tool life Precision laser for plate referencing eliminates the need to square plates prior to processing Secondary X axis increases productivity and permits milling without the need to position the gantry Tool changing occurs while the plate remains clamped for precision tapping, countersinking, boring and milling Helical milling for larger holes with low cost tooling Face milling for bearing surfaces in construction/machine applications and columns in structural steel fabrication Bevel plasma torch Automatic tool changer with up to 24 tools per drill head (depending on the model) OPTIONAL FEATURES CNC bevel plasma head for weld preparations Multiple oxy-fuel torches Down draft or water tables Plate marking and layout scribing with patent pending technology Marking with plasma Chip vacuum evacuation systems

4 Gantry Automatic CNC Drilling, Milling and Thermal Cutting Systems for large plates CUTTING The Gemini s mobile gantry design allows for a greater range of plate sizes and thicknesses without concern for the plate weight and material handling due to the simultaneous processing and loading/ unloading. Supplied with plasma and optional oxy-fuel torches, the Gemini can cut plates from 5 mm to 305 mm. MARKING AND SCRIBING Fabrication and bending lines can be indicated with a scribing tool or plasma marking. Identification marks and part numbers for fabrication can be added with the scribing tool, plasma marker. Deeper marking suitable for viewing after painting or galvanizing can be performed with scribing. Center locations for the positioning and welding of parts with reference points are produced with our patent pending scribing tool. DRILLING AND TAPPING The Gemini s high speed machining spindle allows extremely productive drilling of holes from 5 mm to 80 mm. For larger holes up to 400 mm, the Gemini can mill holes with exceptional accuracy 0.1 mm tolerance on diameter and concentricity. The high speed spindle positioning (sub X and Y axis) combined with wide area clamping provides very high productivity for the most common hole sizes. For many applications, tapped holes in the components can reduce welding, fitting and assembly time. For tapping, the digital control system provides high quality threads on tapped holes.

EDGE BEVELLING The Gemini can make weld preps (V, Y, X, K) by plasma bevelling.

Traditionally these operations were performed on large machining centers or boring machines after fabrication.

5 EDGE BEVELLING The Gemini can make weld preps (V, Y, X, K) by plasma bevelling. For precision bevels, milling is more accurate and J groove bevels can also be achieved. J groove edge beveled for deep penetration and no back welding FACE AND SLOT MILLING On machine parts and many structural detail items, slotted holes, milled bearing mating surfaces, etc. are required. Traditionally these operations were performed on large machining centers or boring machines after fabrication. The accuracy of the Gemini in both cutting and machining means that many of these operations can be performed on the stock plate, thus eliminating the expense, handling cost, floor space and lead-time of secondary operations.
