How much does the FANUC Robodrill α-D14LiB5 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-D14LiB5 Plus pairs 700 mm (27.6 in) of X travel with the FANUC Series 31i-B5 Plus control, which the table lists as 5-axis capable. Y travel is 400 mm (15.7 in), Z is 330 mm (13 in), the table load is 300 kg (660 lb) and it holds 14 tools.
A long X axis and a rotary-capable control go together well. A rotary unit can sit at one end of the stroke with the remaining X travel free for a plain vise setup, so first and second operations run on the same machine. Whether that works here depends on hardware the table does not describe: it lists no rotary axis figures and no table dimensions, and both should be confirmed with FANUC.
Height is the constraint. 330 mm of Z has to hold the rotary unit, fixture, part and tool, and rotary equipment also counts against the 300 kg table load. The Robodrill α-D14LiB5ADV keeps the control and the 14 tools and moves to 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y, 400 mm of Z and a 500 kg (1,100 lb) table load. Where rotary axes are not needed, the Robodrill α-D14LiB has this model's travels with the Series 31i-B Plus control.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5-axis capable FANUC Series 31i-B5 Plus control on a machine with 700 mm (27.6 in) of X travel
- X stroke long enough to split between a rotary setup and a plain vise setup
- 300 kg (660 lb) table load
- Mechanical figures identical to the Robodrill α-D14LiB, so 3-axis jobs move across unchanged in size
Limitations
- 330 mm (13 in) of Z is short for a rotary stack; the Robodrill α-D14LiB5ADV has 400 mm (15.7 in)
- A rotary unit and its fixture come out of the 300 kg (660 lb) table load
- Holds 14 tools, with no rotary axis data in the listed figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The control row. This model lists the FANUC Series 31i-B5 Plus, described as 5-axis capable, where the Robodrill α-D14LiB lists the Series 31i-B Plus. Travels of 700 x 400 x 330 mm (27.6 x 15.7 x 13 in), 14 tools and the 300 kg (660 lb) table load are the same on both.
02
The standard spindle is listed at 10,000 rpm. FANUC offers two alternatives as options, a 12,000 rpm tapping / high-acceleration spindle and a 24,000 rpm high-speed spindle. The listed figures for this model do not include spindle torque or power.
03
The Robodrill α-D14LiB5ADV has the same 700 mm (27.6 in) X travel, control and 14 tools with 500 mm (19.7 in) of Y, 400 mm (15.7 in) of Z and a 500 kg (1,100 lb) table load. The Robodrill α-D14LiB5ADV table also lists a 100 Nm (73.7 ft-lbf) high-torque option.
