Smart Means Powerful

Using intelligent cutting strategies, the ROBODRILL Plus achieves the same results as more powerful machines in less time, regardless of whether your application involves high-speed machining, mold making or 5-axis machining.

Robot and CNC Integration

More manufacturing operations are taking advantage of adding robotics to execute repetitive tasks previously performed by manual operators. Advanced automation offers a competitive edge and greater profit margins to shops of all sizes.

Now, FANUC CNCs have the ability to control connected FANUC robots providing machine tending or other assistance through FANUC’s Robot and CNC Integration.

The Intelligent Alternative to Big Machines

Spreading your machining across several ROBODRILLs instead of relying on a dedicated transfer machine allows you to benefit from cheaper production and higher flexibility in the face of changing production numbers. Inherently adaptable, FANUC ROBODRILL also represents a great addition to your production facilities since you can use it to absorb extra demand, thereby freeing up your larger vertical machining centers for bigger jobs.
