How much does the FANUC Robodrill α-D14LiB Plus cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from FANUC. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The FANUC Robodrill α-D14LiB Plus is a long-X compact machining center: 700 mm (27.6 in) of X travel on 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and 330 mm (13 in) of Z, with 14 tools, a 300 kg (660 lb) table load and the 3-axis FANUC Series 31i-B Plus control.
X is 75% longer than Y, and that proportion shapes the setups: long extrusions and plates, or a row of vises each holding a small part. A row of vises is also where the 300 kg limit deserves a quick sum, since the vises themselves take a good share of it.
Three listed siblings go further in one direction each. The Robodrill α-D21LiB has the same travels and table load with 21 tools. The Robodrill α-D14LiB5 changes only the control, to the Series 31i-B5 Plus. The Robodrill α-D14LiBADV is a bigger step: 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y, 400 mm of Z and a 500 kg (1,100 lb) table load on the same X and tool count.
Spindle speed is 10,000 rpm on the standard spindle. Optional spindles are listed at 12,000 rpm for tapping / high-acceleration and 24,000 rpm for high-speed work.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 700 mm (27.6 in) of X travel, 75% more than the 400 mm (15.7 in) Y travel
- 300 kg (660 lb) table load
- Room along X for several vises in a row or one long workpiece
- Optional 24,000 rpm high-speed spindle; 10,000 rpm is standard
Limitations
- Z travel is 330 mm (13 in) and Y is 400 mm (15.7 in); the Robodrill α-D14LiBADV has 400 mm of Z and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y
- 14 tools have to serve every station along the long table; the Robodrill α-D21LiB holds 21
- Table load of 300 kg (660 lb), against 500 kg (1,100 lb) on the Robodrill α-D14LiBADV

Frequently Asked Questions
01
X travel is 700 mm (27.6 in), with 400 mm (15.7 in) of Y and 330 mm (13 in) of Z. The listed figures do not include the table dimensions, so check them with FANUC if a part or fixture will overhang the travel.
02
The Robodrill α-D14LiBADV has more Y, more Z and a higher table load: 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y, 400 mm (15.7 in) of Z and 500 kg (1,100 lb), against 400 mm, 330 mm (13 in) and 300 kg (660 lb) on this model. The Robodrill α-D14LiBADV table also lists a 100 Nm (73.7 ft-lbf) high-torque option. X travel, tool count and the Series 31i-B Plus control are the same.
03
300 kg (660 lb). With 700 mm (27.6 in) of X it is tempting to line up several vises, and each one counts against that figure together with its part, so total the workholding before settling on a layout.
