Multiple operations on GEMINI laser

FICEP offers modern solutions that integrate advanced cutting and machining technologies, combining thermal cutting (plasma and oxyfuel) with mechanical operations (drilling and milling, using high-performance spindles). These are designed to process materials of varying thicknesses and geometries, whilst optimising production times and minimising waste.

Laser cutting and machining

“The evolution of high-power laser systems and cost reduction has transformed the steel construction industry. Now, combining laser cutting with precision machining is crucial to achieving accurate results. To meet this demand, we have developed GEMINI LASER, a solution that merges laser technology with the outstanding performance of the well-known GEMINI range, the result of almost 100 years of R&D expertise,” the Italian manufacturer told ISMR.

GEMINI LASER is an automatic CNC gantry machine for marking, milling, drilling, tapping and bevelling. It has now been enhanced with a laser source ranging from 12-30kW (or higher for specific applications), capable of cutting plates from 5-60mm thick.

“The system delivers high-quality cutting, reducing kerf width and waste while allowing for complex bevel cutting at ±45° for V, Y, X and K cuts. Safety is ensured by a mobile protective enclosure that contains the laser beams, supported by an exhaust system that removes gases, while an automated nozzle changer guarantees optimal performance and extended tool life. GEMINI LASER also integrates high-speed milling and drilling capabilities (spindle up to 7000 RPM) and an automatic tool changer (up to 24 tools) to minimise downtime,” outlined FICEP.
