Big screen innovations – MACH 2022

The big screen will be a major draw at the Ficep UK stand at this year’s MACH.

The steel processing equipment supplier’s exhibit will feature a video wall with a live link-up to the Ficep headquarters in Italy, where the team will showcase, among other products, its new Kronos gantry style thermal cutting and drilling system, and the Excalibur CNC controlled horizontal single spindle drilling line.

There will also be a live link showing the Valiant CNC three spindle line and other machines from Ficep’s extensive range.

To support the live video link demos, the Ficep UK stand will feature the new Kronos machine for the first time to enable visitors to see the quality of the heavy duty, gantry style thermal cutting and drilling system, which has been engineered for steel processors and fabricators for connection plates, gussets and stiffeners and other profiles from stock material.

The stand will also feature the successful tool vending machine, a new addition to the Ficep UK portfolio in the last 18 months, which has proved very popular, reducing customers’ inventory costs and ultimately improving stock control.

The vending machines give Ficep customers automated control over their tool stock by making tools and consumables readily accessible in-house. A swipe card system allows registered operators to select the tool or consumable they need, and the machine registers which part is taken, enabling invoicing to take place immediately.

Ficep UK, managing director, Mark Jones says: “We are excited to return to MACH this year with some new product innovations, and technical experts on hand to discuss steel processing machinery and automation.

“Automation is a hot topic that is moving rapidly up the agenda, as steel service centres and fabricators battle with skills shortages in the industry and look to equipment suppliers to help find solutions that will enable them keep up with demand. It’s something we can certainly help with, and we look forward to some interesting discussions at the show.”
