2021 FANUC D21MIA524K VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2021 FANUC D21MIA524K is a 5-axis compact drilling, tapping, and milling center based on the FANUC RoboDrill α-D21MiA5 platform equipped with the high-speed 24,000 RPM spindle option. Designed for high-volume precision machining of small to medium aluminum, magnesium, and non-ferrous components, it combines rapid tool change with exceptional surface finish capability. The machine features a BBT30 dual-contact spindle taper for rigid, high-speed cutting, a 21-tool arm-type automatic tool changer with 0.9-second tool-to-tool change time, and full 5-axis simultaneous interpolation via the FANUC Series 31i-B5 CNC. The 650 x 400 mm worktable accommodates workpieces up to 300 kg and provides 500 mm X, 400 mm Y, and 330 mm Z travels, suitable for complex multi-face machining in a single setup. Rapid traverse rates reach 54 m/min, enabling extremely short non-cutting times ideal for lights-out automation environments. The compact footprint of approximately 1,615 mm long by 2,040 mm wide allows high machine density on the shop floor. Built-in FANUC servo technology and the i-HMI touch-screen interface streamline setup and diagnostics. The 31i-B5 control supports full FANUC macro capability, AI contour control, and optional FANUC ROBODRILL link for cell automation. With a continuous spindle power rating of approximately 5 HP and peak output of nearly 15 HP at one minute, the D21MIA524K balances energy efficiency with burst cutting performance. Machine weight is approximately 4,400 lbs, and the unit is compatible with optional pallet changers and robotic loading systems.
