With about five thousand units installed in the US, the Fanuc RoboDrill has proven itself as possibly the most reliable machining center in the market today! The base design of the RoboDrill addresses the demanding reliability issues of all industries. This machine is built to perform for three shifts a day, seven days a week, year in and year out.  Fanuc has engineered the Robodrill machining center to address all machining needs for its class.

Fanuc Robodrill JobShop Cell Coupling the versatility of the Fanuc RoboDrill machine center with a standard automation package, the JobShop cell allows North American companies to compete with low cost off shore countries. Utilizing the Fanuc 200iC robot, the Jobshop cell is easy to change over from job to job, and then run unattended production. Both units are seamlessly integrated  to give our customers a stand alone automation solution that is reliable and affordable.

Fanuc DDR Linear Motor 4th Axis The DDR's high-speed 4th axis dramatically reduces part cycle times by eliminating the positioning delays of traditional rotary tables and enabling the RoboDrill to machine at the high speeds of its other 3 axes. Its gear-free, zero-backlash linear motors are capable of unclamping, rotating 180°, and reclamping in approximately 0.4 seconds at a table-rotation speed of 150 rpm. Indexing precision is ± 0.0055 degrees (±20 seconds). The DDR's clamping force — up to 220 ft-lbs — is unusual for its size. The 140-mm unit has a maximum torque of 192 ft-lbs and a maximum loading capacity of 220 pounds. A large 40-mm through-hole allows for pneumatic or hydraulic fixture actuation.
