FICEP plate processing machines provide advanced CNC solutions for the drilling, milling, marking, scribing and cutting of steel plates used in structural steel fabrication and heavy engineering.
Modern fabrication companies require highly efficient systems capable of producing large volumes of plate components with consistent accuracy and minimal manual handling. FICEP CNC plate machines allow raw steel plates to be loaded into the system and processed through multiple machining operations automatically.
A&S Machinery Sales supplies FICEP plate processing machines throughout Australia and New Zealand, supporting structural steel fabricators, engineering manufacturers and heavy industry.
The production of plates and detailed items that require drilling, punching, marking, scribing, milling and cutting is widely recognised as one of the most labour-intensive processes in the structural steel fabrication industry.
Traditional plate fabrication often requires multiple machines and repeated material handling steps, which increases production time and labour costs.
FICEP has developed one of the widest ranges of CNC plate processing solutions available, ranging from single-operation drilling systems through to fully integrated CNC plate fabrication work cells capable of performing multiple operations within one automated system.
With FICEP CNC plate machines, raw plates can be loaded into the machine and processed through several operations including:
CNC drilling
Plate milling
Scribing
Plate marking
Countersinking
Tapping
Plasma cutting
Oxy-fuel cutting
By combining these processes in one automated system, fabricators can significantly reduce production time, minimise material handling and improve machining accuracy.
The FICEP KRONOS is a heavy-duty gantry-style CNC plate processing machine designed for drilling, marking and thermal cutting of steel plates.
The KRONOS integrates high-definition plasma cutting, oxy-fuel cutting and CNC drilling into a single automated system, allowing fabricators to produce finished plate parts in one operation.

The integrated design reduces material handling and production time, making the KRONOS an efficient solution for plate fabrication.
The FICEP GEMINI is an advanced gantry-style CNC plate processor designed for drilling, milling and thermal cutting of large steel plates.
The GEMINI provides a complete plate processing solution by integrating several machining operations into one automated CNC work centre.
Processing Capabilities
CNC drilling
Plate milling
Scribing
Countersinking
Tapping
Plasma cutting
Oxy-fuel cutting
The GEMINI offers high productivity, minimal floor space requirements and low cost per finished part, making it suitable for fabrication companies of all sizes.
The FICEP TIPO G is a high-performance CNC plate processing system designed for drilling, milling and thermal cutting of large plates used in structural steel fabrication and heavy engineering.
The TIPO G combines the advantages of gantry-style plate processors where the plate remains stationary with systems where the plate is repositioned for different operations.
Sub-Axis Spindle Positioning
The TIPO G features sub-axis spindle positioning, allowing the spindle to move independently without repeatedly unclamping and repositioning the plate.
This improves:
Machining speed
Production efficiency
Accuracy and repeatability
Processing Capabilities
CNC drilling
Plate milling
Scribing
Countersinking
Tapping
Plasma cutting
Oxy-fuel cutting
Plate marking
The TIPO G also supports straight and bevel thermal cutting, allowing weld preparation directly on the machine.
