Three-spindle drilling line compatible with all types of tooling

The ball screw feed, 5,000 RPM Vanguard drill lines from Ficep are compatible with all types of tooling.

The direct-drive spindle prevents power loss at the tool. The ball screw feed permits tapping, countersinking, and counterboring. Other features include rack-and-pinion positioning on all axes; scribing (directly downloaded from DSTV files) available on up to four sides; six-position automatic tool changers available for each spindle; and capability for tandem placement with one of the company’s band saws or plasma robots.
