ROBODRILL Plus

Overview

ROBODRILL Plus is presented as a FANUC ROBODRILL Vertical Machining Center (VMC). Overall Length: 0700 mm. Spindle options listed for the model include: - Standard Spindle - 10k RPM; 11kW / 14.75HP 1min. | 53Nm / 39ft-lb 1min.; spindle cartridge allows for heavy side loading and large cutting tools; large face-mill - 100mm dia. - High Torque Spindle - 10k RPM; 14kW / 18.8HP 1min. | 80Nm / 59ft-lb 1min. | 100Nm / 73.8t-lb peak; increased tapping speed 6K RPM. - High Acceleration Spindle - 10k RPM (high speed spindle limited at 10K); 26kW / 34.9HP 1min. | 35Nm / 25.8ft-lb 1min. - High Speed Spindle - 24k RPM; 26kW / 34.9HP 1min. | 35Nm / 25.8ft-lb 1min.; spindle cartridge designed for high RPM applications; finishing at higher speeds 18k-24k. Other published specifications and options include 21 Tool Turret (Recommended) and 14 Tool Turret, face-mill capacity 100mm dia, center through coolant rating 1000 PSI MAX, and multi-axis machine selection choices of 3 Axis, 3+1 Axis, 4 Axis Simultaneous, 3+2 Axis, 4 Axis Simultaneous Table, and 5 Axis Simultaneous. Benefits listed for the Advanced Model include Greater Z-axis Stroke (400mm), Servo Turret, Faster Tool-Change Time, column design change with increased tool and part clearance (including increased Y-Axis clearance to column), greater tool weight capacity, improved way covers and spindle head cover, improved electrical cabinet design, and Power Fail Backup Module Included. Standard Spindle is described for general machining of all materials and for use with large face-mills up to 100mm dia. High Torque Spindle is described as intended for heavy material removal, large hole drilling/tapping, and mostly steel/iron applications, with increased tapping speed to 6K RPM. High Acceleration Spindle is described for heavy material removal at the higher end of 10K RPM and notes increased tapping speed of 6k RPM, while High Speed Spindle is described for high RPM applications and finishing at higher speeds (18k-24k), with a note toward mostly Aluminum and materials that cut at high surface speed. The 21 Tool Turret is recommended for applications with high feature count and includes a tool life management feature that automatically swaps to the next tool at end of tool life. Center through coolant (1000 PSI MAX) is described as improving cycle time and tool life for holes deeper than 3x tool diameter and as useful at high pressure with smaller tools.
