Ficep UK, a leading supplier of cutting-edge steel processing systems, will launch its latest innovation — the Ficep XBLADE CNC line — at MACH 2024, taking place 15-19 April at the NEC, Birmingham (Hall 20, Stand 180).

The ‘state of the art’ line offers advanced features designed to elevate steel processing efficiency in the areas of drilling, tapping, milling, and sawing with disc blade precision. Visitors to the stand will have the opportunity to speak with Ficep UK’s expert team, to gain insights into the system’s advanced capabilities.

Developed in response to industry demand, the Ficep XBLADE CNC line is engineered to tackle steel construction beams of different sizes, with sections up to 305 x 305mm on three sides, 450 x 450mm on one side and variable lengths, thanks to its modular configuration.

Chris Berriman, sales director at Ficep UK, said: “Our product development and technical teams carefully consider what the market is asking for and respond with outstanding innovations, such as the Ficep XBLADE. MACH 2024 is an ideal platform for us to talk to the industry about our latest product innovations and the solutions that are available to meet their requirements. It also gives us an opportunity to explain the benefits of the new CNC line and specifically how we can support our customers at every level.”

Ficep UK partner, Italy-based Cutlite Penta, will also exhibit at the show (Hall 6, Stand 239). Ficep UK is the exclusive UK agent for the full Cutlite Penta laser range with up to 50kW of power for metal cutting. This strategic alliance underscores Ficep UK's commitment to supplying comprehensive solutions that meet the diverse needs of the steel fabrication industry.

Visitors to the Ficep stand can also see Ficep’s popular tool vending machine, which has transformed its customers’ inventory management. By providing automated control over tool stock and enhancing accessibility to essential tools and consumables, Ficep’s vending machines optimise operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Mr Berriman added: “Our UK team of technical and CNC software experts will be on hand at MACH 2024 to share our knowledge about how to choose the right system for your business. We look forward to showcasing the benefits of our solutions and re-affirming our commitment to supporting our customers at this year’s MACH 2024 exhibition.”
