What types of parts are best suited for ROBODRILL?

Simply put, if your part fits on a RoboDrill, it should be cut a on a RoboDrill. The platform excels across operations, whether milling, drilling, tapping, and facing, including complex geometries and materials.

Why do shops choose ROBODRILL over a larger VMC?

Superior throughput per square foot often matters more than maximum travel. ROBODRILL is designed to minimize noncutting time and scale easily, back by the highest reliability in its class and 35 years of Methods technology and service experience Additionally, the RoboDrill features market-leading reliability based on: -Lifetime maintenance policy -9-year mean time between failures on a RoboDrill vs. 5-year failure rate for competitive 30 taper -5,000,000 tool changes on a RoboDrill before preventative maintenance is required (60-second cycle times, 2000 annual hours, at 60 parts per hour)

Is ROBODRILL good for automation?

As the leading FANUC System Integrator in North America, we pair the FANUC RoboDrill exclusively with FANUC robotics to ensure the smoothest, most consistent automation. For more than 30 years, we have automated the FANUC RoboDrill for manufacturers throughout North America. Our team of automation experts collaborates with you every step of the way, from initial planning and selecting the right machines, to work-process design and application engineering, to the final on-site installation and proof of concept and capability. We offer a suite of floor-ready, fully integrated systems such as the Plus K60, Plus E, PC2, and Sidekick. We also offer full turnkey automation solutions for the FANUC RoboDrill.

Do ROBODRILL machines support 5 axis work?

Yes. Methods integrates the RoboDrill with 4- and 5-axis tables from leading global suppliers. We manage the integration during the build process and service any integrated solutions for the lifetime of your machine.

What are common ROBODRILL platform specs buyers care about?

BBT30 taper, 14-tool, 21-tool, or 28-tool ATC, rapid traverse figures, and optional high speed spindle configurations are commonly referenced in official ROBODRILL specifications.

Are FANUC controls easy to program and support?

FANUC controls are widely supported by CAM systems, and training is available through Training Services.
