The Countdown to FANUC UK’s January Event is On – And the ROBODRILL is Ready to Impress!


Tuesday 12 August 2025, 8:34:49 PM


In January, FANUC UK will open its doors for one of the first big machining events of the year – and MTDCNC will be there to show you exactly why you need to attend.

One machine already turning heads is the FANUC ROBODRILL, a BBT30 machine that’s rapidly evolving into a genuine alternative to a BT40. Over the next 6 months, we’ll be bringing you regular updates, videos, and insights on this powerhouse – as well as FANUC’s impressive EDM and ROBOSHOT range.

Why the ROBODRILL deserves your attention:
1️⃣ It’s FANUC – control, machine, drives… all from one trusted name.
2️⃣ Compact footprint – space-saving without sacrificing performance.
3️⃣ Speed & power – now with even more muscle under the hood.
4️⃣ Expanded toolchanger – the “not enough tools” myth is history.

And if you think small footprint means small capability, think again. The new ROBODRILL α-D28LiB5ADV Plus Y500 offers:

  • Extended Y-axis stroke (500 mm)
  • Larger table without increasing footprint
  • Faster drilling, tapping & tool changes
  • Seamless integration with FANUC robots for easy automation

FANUC also has ROBODRILLs and ROBOSHOTS in stock right now – so if you’re looking for a new VMC, STOP and take a look before making your decision.

📅 Keep your eyes on MTDCNC – we’ll be pumping out content right up to the event to make sure you know exactly why the trip to FANUC UK in January is worth it.
