2006 FANUC ROBODRILL MATE VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2006 FANUC ROBODRILL MATE is a 3-axis entry-level compact drilling, tapping, and milling center from FANUC's RoboDrill Mate series, designed to deliver RoboDrill-platform performance and reliability in a compact scale accessible to smaller production operations. The Mate targets high-cycle drilling, rigid tapping, and light milling of aluminum, magnesium, and non-ferrous materials in automotive, electronics, and general manufacturing environments. The BT30 spindle operates at up to 10,000 RPM with synchronized rigid tapping standard, and the 14-tool arm-type ATC achieves 0.9-second tool-to-tool change time. The 650 x 380 mm worktable accommodates workpieces up to 200 kg within axis travels of 500 mm X, 380 mm Y, and 300 mm Z. Rapid traverse rates approach 1,889 IPM. The FANUC 0i-Mc CNC provides comprehensive G-code compatibility and FANUC macro support in a straightforward operator interface suited to production cell environments. Continuous spindle power is approximately 10 HP. Machine weight is approximately 4,500 lbs and the overall footprint measures roughly 61 inches long by 76 inches wide by 86 inches tall. The Mate's combination of fast tool change, high spindle speed, and compact dimensions makes it well-suited to shops converting from conventional drill presses and knee mills to CNC machining, or to production lines requiring a dedicated tapping and drilling resource alongside larger machining centers.
