The new XBLADE CNC line for drilling, tapping, milling and cutting with disc blade is capable of processing steel construction beams of different sizes, with sections up to 305x305, or up to 460x305 with processing operation possible on 4 sides on datum line side), and variable lengths thanks to its modular configuration. It performs complex operations of drilling, countersinking, tapping, milling and cutting with disc blade and is a “universal” machine lending itself also to the machining of light alloy profiles.
The innovative feature of this machine is the ability to perform three axes machining even on inclined planes, in two different directions. The 5-axis head consisting of two rotating wrists positions the tool virtually anywhere in the working space. In addition, the introduction of the disc blade expands the range of processing that can be carried out without manual intervention: the integration of the blade with the 5-axis head makes it possible to work around the workpiece by intervening on 5 faces.

Through Ficep’s Steel Project software, profile nesting can be programmed and optimized, and through the CAM software that generates the ISO program, the working cycle is launched with great
ease.
