FANUC ROBODRILL α-D28LiB5ADV Plus Y500

The FANUC ROBODRILL α-D28LiB5ADV Plus Y500 is a vertical CNC machining centre (VMC) with 700/500/400 mm X/Y/Z travel and a 28-tool changer. Its 500 mm Y-axis stroke and 850 x 500 mm table let it machine larger workpieces, and the spindle runs from 10,000 to 24,000 rpm. It is controlled by the FANUC ROBODRILL 31i-B5 Plus controller.

Study notes

  • Rapid traverse rates are 54/54/60 m/min in X/Y/Z; maximum programmable cutting feed is 30,000 mm/min.
  • Tool change time (cut to cut, 1.5 kg tool) is 0.7 s.
  • Tool limits: max tool length 250 mm, max tool diameter 80 mm, max tool mass 4 kg.
  • Distance from spindle nose to table (with HC200) is 280-680 mm.
  • Machine mass is 2.3 t, or 2.5 t with DDR-TiB.
  • Spindle load at 10,000 rpm: 13.6 Nm / 4 kW (1 min) and 7.5 Nm / 5.5 kW (continuous). Spindle load at 24,000 rpm: 35 Nm / 26 kW (1 min) and 7.5 Nm / 5.5 kW (continuous).
  • Bidirectional positioning accuracy of an axis is < 0.006 mm (ISO 230-2:1988); bidirectional repeatability is < 0.004 mm (ISO 230-2:1997, 2006).
  • Air pressure consumption is 160 L/min at 0.35-0.55 MPa.
  • Spindle holder is listed as 7/24 taper No.30 and BBT30.
  • The document also describes an autonomous aluminium machining and inspection cell in which an AMR links robotic material handling, machining, dimensional gauging and laser marking.
