2007 FANUC ROBODRILL VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 FANUC ROBODRILL is a 3-axis compact drilling, tapping, and milling center from FANUC's RoboDrill series, built on the T14 alpha-generation platform typical of late-1990s to mid-2000s production. These machines were engineered for high-speed, high-cycle precision machining of small parts in automotive and electronics manufacturing. The BT30 spindle runs at up to 10,000 RPM with synchronized rigid tapping, and the 14-tool arm-type ATC delivers 0.9-second tool-to-tool change time. The 650 x 380 mm worktable provides axis travels of approximately 500 mm X, 380 mm Y, and 300 mm Z, supporting workpieces up to 200 kg. The FANUC 16i-MA CNC provides full G-code compatibility, FANUC macro B programming, and background editing. Rapid traverse rates approach 48 m/min. Continuous spindle power is approximately 7.5 HP. Machine weight is approximately 4,000 lbs. The compact footprint enables multiple units to be arranged in automated cells. These early-generation RoboD rills remain widely used in high-volume tapping and drilling applications due to their proven mechanical simplicity, fast cycle capability, and low maintenance requirements. The FANUC 16i control provides a mature, well-understood platform with extensive third-party support and a broad installed base of trained operators. Original FANUC service documentation and spare parts remain available, contributing to favorable long-term operating costs.
