Used Fanuc Robocut for Sale 10

Wire EDM buyers split between the specialist houses (Sodick, Mitsubishi, AgieCharmilles) and Fanuc's Robocut, and the used-market case for the Robocut is straightforward: everything in the machine, from CNC to servo drives to the generator, is Fanuc's own, the same architecture maintained globally for millions of machine tools. For a shop without an EDM specialist on staff, that support reality often outweighs feature comparisons. The α-C400iB covers the compact toolroom class, the α-C600iB the volume mid-size, and the α-C800 the larger die plates; earlier α-0iD and α-1iE machines remain common and serviceable.

On price, used Robocuts typically undercut equivalent-age Sodick and AgieCharmilles machines, partly because the specialists hold premium status in fine-finish work. For carbide punches, stamping dies, and general toolroom erosion, that discount is the opportunity; for optical-finish or ultra-fine wire work, the specialists retain an edge worth paying for.

Buying a used Fanuc Robocut: what to check

Test the automatic wire threader exhaustively, including through a start hole at full submersion, because the AWF mechanism is the most-used and most-worn assembly on any wire machine. Check upper and lower guide condition and ask when diamond guides, power feed contacts, and rollers were last replaced; these consumables are affordable but reveal maintenance culture.

Inspect the work tank seals for leaks, verify the filtration system and resin condition, and review generator hours separately from power-on hours. Run a test cut if possible and measure surface finish and accuracy against the machine's specification. Confirm the control generation and that wire libraries and machining condition databases transfer. Examine the wire drive and guide condition closely, ask when diamond guides and power feed contacts were last replaced, and verify the auto wire feed threads reliably. A clean dielectric tank and recent filter changes are good proxies for overall care.
