2016 FANUC ROBODRILL A-D21 LIA5 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2016 FANUC ROBODRILL A-D21 LIA5 is a 5-axis compact drilling, tapping, and milling center from the FANUC RoboDrill alpha-D21LiA5 DiA-generation series. Built on FANUC's L-size long bed platform, this machine is designed for high-speed precision machining of larger workpieces requiring 5-axis simultaneous or 3+2 positional capability. The enlarged 850 x 410 mm worktable accommodates workpieces up to 300 kg within axis travels of 700 mm X, 400 mm Y, and 330 mm Z, offering significantly greater X-axis reach than the standard M-size platform. The BBT30 dual-contact spindle operates at up to 10,000 RPM standard, with a 24,000 RPM option for high-speed aluminum applications. A 21-tool arm-type ATC achieves 0.9-second tool-to-tool changes. The FANUC Series 31i-B5 CNC enables full 5-axis simultaneous interpolation, FANUC macro B, AI contour control, and FANUC robot cell integration. Continuous spindle power is approximately 5 HP with peak output approaching 15 HP. Rapid traverse rates reach 54 m/min, minimizing non-cutting time during complex 5-axis cycles. Machine weight is approximately 4,630 lbs and overall dimensions are approximately 83 inches long by 75 inches wide by 80 inches tall. The extended L-size bed makes this model well-suited to small panel parts, connector arrays, and multi-cavity mold inserts requiring 5-axis contour machining or compound angle drilling. The DiA generation offers enhanced servo drive performance relative to the prior T-series, improving surface finish and positioning accuracy.
