2016 FANUC ROBODRILL ALPHA T21IDL VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2016 FANUC ROBODRILL ALPHA T21IDL is a 3-axis compact drilling, tapping, and milling center from the FANUC RoboDrill alpha T21iDL series, the long-bed variant of the T21iD platform. The L suffix denotes the extended L-size table, providing 700 mm X-axis travel and an 850 x 410 mm worktable suitable for larger workpieces or multi-part fixture plates. Workpieces up to 250 kg can be machined within the 700 mm X, 400 mm Y, and 330 mm Z travel envelope. The BT30 spindle operates at up to 10,000 RPM standard, with a 20,000 RPM high-speed spindle option. Rigid tapping is standard. A 21-tool arm-type ATC delivers fast tool changes, and the FANUC Series 16i-MB CNC provides G-code compatibility, FANUC macro B, and comprehensive machine diagnostics. Continuous spindle power is approximately 7.5 HP. Machine weight is approximately 4,400 to 5,500 lbs depending on configuration. The T21iDL's extended bed is particularly well-suited to production machining of elongated components such as connector housings, extrusion brackets, and multi-cavity fixture plates, where the additional X-travel eliminates secondary setups. Like all T-series RoboD rills, the T21iDL features integrated FANUC servo drives for simplified maintenance and consistent positioning accuracy over high cycle volumes.
