2000 FANUC AG14IFA VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2000 Fanuc RoboDrill AG14IFA (Alpha-T14iF-A) is a 3-axis compact drilling, tapping, and milling center designed for high-speed, high-precision machining of small-to-medium precision parts. The RoboDrill series is manufactured by Fanuc Corporation and is widely used in automotive, electronics, medical device, and precision component manufacturing due to its combination of speed, accuracy, and compact footprint. The machine features a BT30 spindle taper and reaches a maximum spindle speed of 24,000 RPM, enabling aggressive high-speed cutting strategies in aluminum, brass, and plastics, as well as precision steel and titanium work at reduced feeds and speeds. Continuous spindle power is approximately 5 HP. Axis travels are 11.8" in X, 11.8" in Y, and 13" in Z. The 14" worktable provides a compact but sufficient fixturing surface for the parts sizes targeted by this platform. All axes use linear roller guides and high-speed ball screws for minimal lost motion and excellent surface finish quality. The "A" suffix denotes an updated variant within the alpha-T series. The 24,000 RPM spindle and high-speed servo drives make this model well suited for precision drilling and tapping in automotive and electronics applications. Control is provided by the Fanuc 0i, which delivers fast block processing speeds suitable for high-speed contouring, with support for rigid tapping, nano-smoothing, and AI contour control where equipped. The RoboDrill's tool changer typically holds 21 tools (or 14 in compact configurations), with chip-to-chip times under 1.4 seconds for maximum throughput. The machine's approximate weight of 3,300 lbs reflects its compact but rigidly built construction. The RoboDrill AG14IFA (Alpha-T14iF-A) is best suited to production environments requiring fast cycle times, high accuracy, and minimal floor space.
