2018 Fanuc Robodrill a-D21MiB5 CNC Vertical Mill

The Fanuc Robodrill a-D21MiB5 is a compact 30-taper CNC vertical machining center with the reliability reputation that has made the Robodrill line a staple in high-volume drilling, tapping, and milling operations. This 2018 unit pairs X/Y/Z travels of 19.69 x 15.74 x 15.74 inches and a 25.6 x 15.74 inch table (551 lb capacity) with a high-torque 10,000 RPM spindle on a BT30 Big Plus taper for confident 30-taper cutting. A 21-position turret-style ATC with roughly 0.7-second tool changes, 2,125 in/min rapids in all axes, and the Fanuc Series 31i-B5 Nano control deliver fast, accurate cycle times, while an included Royal Filtermist mist collector and chip system keep the work zone clean for extended unattended running.

The MiB5 increases Z-axis travel from 13 inches to 15.74 inches for taller workpieces and longer tools, extends spindle-nose-to-table clearance, and trims tool-change time for higher throughput, all while keeping the proven 31i-B5 Nano control and rigid BT30 spindle. For the shop running it, that means a newer, more capable machine with greater Z clearance and faster chip-to-chip performance - real production gains over the earlier MiA5 generation.
