The FICEP GEMINI LASER represents the next evolution in CNC plate processing technology, combining drilling, milling and high-performance fibre laser cutting into one automated system.
Designed for modern fabrication workshops, the GEMINI LASER provides a complete plate processing solution capable of producing finished plate components with exceptional productivity, accuracy and efficiency.
By integrating multiple machining operations into a single work centre, fabrication companies can significantly reduce material handling, improve production speed and lower the overall cost per finished part.
A&S Machinery Sales supplies FICEP structural steel fabrication machinery throughout Australia and New Zealand, supporting steel fabricators, engineering manufacturers and heavy industry.
The FICEP GEMINI LASER allows fabrication companies to process raw steel plates and produce finished components in a single automated operation.
Multiple machining processes are combined within one CNC system, allowing efficient plate fabrication without the need to transfer parts between several machines.
Integrated Processing Operations
CNC drilling
Plate milling
Plate marking
Scribing
Countersinking
Tapping
Beveling
Fibre laser cutting
This multi-function approach allows the GEMINI LASER to produce fully processed plate components in one automated cycle, dramatically improving productivity in steel fabrication environments.
The GEMINI LASER features a state-of-the-art fiber laser cutting system that provides extremely precise cutting with excellent edge quality.
Laser cutting technology offers several advantages compared with traditional thermal cutting methods:
High cutting speed
Excellent dimensional accuracy
Clean cutting edges
Reduced secondary finishing
Minimal heat affected zone
This allows fabrication companies to achieve high quality finished components directly from the machine.
The FICEP GEMINI LASER is designed to process a wide range of steel plate thicknesses, making it suitable for both light and heavy fabrication applications.
Plate Thickness Capacity
5 mm – 60 mm (1/4” – 2-3/8”)
Laser Power Options
12 kW fiber laser source
20 kW fiber laser source
30 kW fiber laser source
Higher power laser sources available for specialised applications
These laser power options allow fabricators to achieve high cutting speeds and excellent cutting quality on both mild steel and stainless steel plates.
The GEMINI LASER is designed to process large structural steel plates commonly used in fabrication and engineering industries.
Maximum Plate Size
2540 × 6000 mm
3100 × 6000 mm
The machine’s gantry design ensures precise positioning and consistent machining accuracy across the entire plate surface.
A key feature of the GEMINI LASER is its mobile gantry system, which allows machining operations to continue during plate loading and unloading.
This design maximises machine utilisation and ensures continuous productivity during fabrication operations.
By minimising machine idle time, the GEMINI LASER allows fabrication companies to achieve extremely efficient plate processing.
The GEMINI LASER is capable of processing a wide range of materials used in structural steel fabrication and engineering manufacturing.
Materials Processed
Mild steel
Stainless steel
High-strength structural steels
This versatility allows the machine to support a wide range of fabrication applications.
The FICEP GEMINI LASER is widely used to manufacture structural plate components including:
Base plates
Gusset plates
Connection plates
Flange plates
Stiffener plates
Structural detail components
These parts require accurate drilling, machining and cutting to ensure proper fit and assembly during fabrication and erection.
Steel plate cutting is traditionally performed using plasma or oxy-fuel cutting systems. However, modern fiber laser cutting technology provides several advantages.
Advantages of Laser Cutting
Higher cutting precision
Cleaner edges
Reduced finishing work
Faster processing speeds
Excellent performance on stainless steel and thin to medium plates
Advantages of Plasma Cutting
Lower machine cost
Suitable for thicker plate cutting
