2017 Fanuc Robodrill a-D21LiB5 w/ 5th Axis CNC Vertical Mill

The 2017 Fanuc Robodrill a-D21LiB5 CNC Vertical Mill with integrated 5th-axis rotary delivers 27.6-inch X, 15.7-inch Y, and 15.7-inch Z travels on an 33.5 x 16.1-inches table supporting up to 880 pounds. Its BT30 spindle spins to 10000 RPM with up to 26-kilowatt power, accelerating to feeds of 1575-inches per minute while maintaining bidirectional positioning accuracy within 0.00024-inches. A 21-tool magazine enables swift 1.3-second cut-to-cut changes, and Fanuc’s 31i-B5 control with iHMI touch interface drives simultaneous 5-axis machining.

Compared to basic Robodrill configurations limited to 3-axis milling, the LiB5 with Tsudakoma TN-131 rotary transforms the machine into a true 5-axis production centre. This allows contouring, undercutting, and single-setup completion of complex parts that would otherwise require multiple operations, giving shops a compact but formidable platform rivaling much larger vertical machining centres.
