How much does the Fanuc Robodrill D54CS 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
FANUC lists the Robodrill D54CS with the Series 31i-B5 Plus control on a 500 mm X, 400 mm Y vertical machining center. The control is the row to read first, because the travels, turrets and spindles around it are open options and not fixed figures.
Start with height. The Z axis can be ordered with 400 mm or 330 mm of travel. Among the other Robodrill pages here, the Robodrill α-D14MiB5 Plus pairs the same control family, FANUC Series 31i-B5 Plus, with 330 mm of Z, while the Robodrill α-D14MiB5ADV Plus pairs it with 400 mm. The D54CS covers both strokes.
Tooling comes next. A servo driven turret is offered in 14, 21 and 28 tool sizes and a spindle driven turret in 14 and 21. Last is the spindle: 10000 min-1 for the Basic and High-torque types, 12000 min-1 for High-acceleration and Tapping, 24000 min-1 for High-speed. None of these choices changes the 500 mm by 400 mm working area in X and Y.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Series 31i-B5 Plus control, the same control family listed on the Robodrill α-D14MiB5 Plus
- Either 400 mm or 330 mm of Z can be specified without changing the model
- Five spindle types in three speed steps: 10000, 12000 and 24000 min-1
- Turret choice of servo driven (14, 21, 28 tools) or spindle driven (14, 21 tools)
Limitations
- X and Y are fixed at 500 mm and 400 mm; only Z has a second stroke
- The largest tool count, 28, is tied to the servo driven turret
- No table size, table load or spindle power appears in FANUC's figures for this model, so fixture weight and cutting load have to be confirmed with the builder

Frequently Asked Questions
01
FANUC lists the Series 31i-B5 Plus. The Robodrill α-D14MiB5 Plus and Robodrill α-D14MiB5ADV Plus are listed with FANUC Series 31i-B5 Plus as well, so programs and operator habits built on those machines stay in the same control family.
02
Yes, within two listed strokes. Z is selectable at 400 mm or 330 mm, while X stays at 500 mm and Y at 400 mm. No stroke beyond 400 mm is listed, so check tall fixtures and long tools against that figure.
03
On tool count, the servo driven turret is listed with 14, 21 or 28 tools and the spindle driven turret with 14 or 21. FANUC's figures for the D54CS give no change time for either, so compare them on capacity and ask for the cycle data that matters to your part.
