Focus on automation
10 January 2014
FANUC will be illustrating how a variety of typical manufacturing demands can be met by using its line-up of machine tools, robots and CNC control products.

Centre stage will be the recently launched FANUC Robodrill α-DiA series vertical machining centre integrated with a FANUC LRMate robot loading and unloading a machined component. Now offering standard and high power spindle versions, improved chip discharging, thermal displacement compensation and higher resolution axis feed, the device focuses on features that reduce cycle times, improve surface finish and increase accuracy.
Using FANUC's advanced CNC control platform, Robodrill's 31 i-B5 control system helps to shorten cycle times by achieving both high speed and high precision through accurate control of maximum acceleration of the spindle motor. Stand U82
