Used Fanuc Machines and Controls We Buy

Used Fanuc machines are the largest single-brand grouping in the Machine Tool Exchange catalog, 8,838 listings and rank one of 126 brands, and we buy them direct from the companies that own them. The book runs from Robodrill and Robocut iron to ArcMate and LR Mate robots to A06B and A20B part numbers.

Fanuc Means Two Different Conversations

Fanuc is a machine builder and a control maker at once, so "I have a Fanuc" means three things. It can be a Fanuc-built machine: a Robodrill drill-tap center, a Robocut wire EDM, a Roboshot molding press, an ArcMate or LR Mate robot. It can be a control, drive, or servo on a shelf, still carrying a part number and still worth money. Or it can be somebody else's iron with a Fanuc control on the front, a Doosan, a Mori Seiki, a Makino, a Hyundai-Wia, the part of the market almost nobody serves cleanly. MTE buys all three. This hub is tagged Fanuc only, all 8,838 listings, so other builders sit in their own hubs. The split matters on the first call. A complete machine gets scoped on model, configuration, control generation, and spindle hours. A loose board gets scoped on its part number and whether it powers up.

What the 8,838 Fanuc Listings Actually Cover

Read the category split before assuming what a Fanuc page holds. Metal Cutting is the largest bucket at 6,320 listings, CNC Miscellaneous Machines follows at 1,236, CNC Drives and Motors at 648, and CNC Robots at 448. The tail after those four is short and specific: Vertical Machining Centers 78, Drilling and Tapping Centers 35, EDM Machines 31, Injection Molding 12, Automation and Pallet Systems 9, Grinding 5, Lathes 4, then single-digit rows for laser cutting, vertical turret lathes, gear machinery, rotary tables, generators, vertical boring mills, punching, and tool and cutter grinders. Nineteen categories, summing to the full 8,838. One more number says what kind of book this is: 8,249 distinct model strings across 8,838 listings, close to one unique identifier apiece. Of the listings that carry a stated build year, 3,044 of them, the span runs 1972 to 2026, so older iron and current iron both trade here.

The Fanuc-Built Machines: Robodrill and Robocut

Robodrill leads the machine side of this hub with 300 listings whose model string starts with Robodrill. It is a high-speed drill-tap and compact vertical machining center, and the buyers are aerospace, medical, and electronics shops that need short cycle times in a small footprint. The alpha-D frames are the ones to name, the D14, the volume-selling D21, and the larger D28, and the two details that move a Robodrill number are spindle speed and tool-magazine count. Robocut is the wire EDM side, 109 listings, and generation is what matters there, since an alpha-C400i, C600i, or C800i in the i-series B or C generation is not interchangeable in a buyer's head. The matching category rows are small and precise: Drilling and Tapping Centers 35, Vertical Machining Centers 78, EDM Machines 31. Jason Puuri, who owns MTE and its parent Superior Machine Tools in Lansing, prices these off the data plate and the hours himself.

Fanuc Robots, Roboshot, and Automation

The robot half of Fanuc is real inventory here, not an aside. CNC Robots is 448 listings and CNC Automation and Pallet Systems adds 9. ArcMate leads the robot families at 102 listings, LR Mate at 85, the collaborative CRX line at 23. The R-2000 appears across three generations that get quoted separately rather than lumped together: R-2000iA 16, R-2000iB 12, R-2000iC 6. Mid-payload and heavy arms fill in around them, M-710iC 12, M-900iA 5, M-900iB 2, M-20iA 3, M-10iD 4, plus a pair of SCARA listings and a pair of Paint Mate listings. Roboshot, the electric injection molding line, carries 12 listings, matching the injection molding category row exactly. For a seller the point is that a robot cell does not have to go somewhere else. Arc welding, material handling, collaborative, and heavy payload arms get quoted with the machine tools, controllers and teach pendants included, on one pickup schedule.

Loose Controls, Drives, and Servos Still Sell

Most brand pages have nothing to say to a maintenance manager with a rack of spare boards. This one does. CNC Drives and Motors is 648 listings on its own, and the part-number families run deeper. A06B, the servo and amplifier prefix, is the largest model family in the hub at 1,991 listings. A20B follows at 858, A16B at 546, A02B at 295, A03B at 155, A05B at 105, and A860 at 78, with smaller runs under A80L, A13B, A81L, A97L, A14B, A04B, and A17B. Control series appear the way shops write them: 31i 30, 18i 16, 16i 13, 21i 10, 32i 8, 30i 6, plus the 0i spelled two ways in the data, 46 listings one way, 42 the other. GE Fanuc automation is here too, 33 distinct IC-series part numbers across IC693, IC697, IC660, IC600, IC610, IC670, IC200, IC692, and IC754 prefixes. Surplus from a retrofit still sells.

Selling One Fanuc, a Cell, or a Whole Floor

Fanuc comes off a floor for predictable reasons. A shop steps up to a newer Robodrill or retrofits a control, and the displaced machine still cuts parts but no longer fits the plan. A contract ends and capacity gets right-sized. Two plants become one, or a move happens and the freight on older iron does not pencil out. An owner retires, or an estate settles a shop. A larger operation standardizes on one control generation and sells off the odd units. There is always the idle machine under power nobody has decided about, with surplus controls on the shelf behind it. The mechanics never change. MTE is the buyer, not a broker or a listing service, so no consignment, no commission, no listing fee. We arrange and pay for rigging and freight, and payment happens at pickup. Robonano and other Fanuc lines we do not currently list are still worth a call.

Common questions

Do you buy a machine that runs a Fanuc control but was built by someone else?

Yes, often. A Doosan, Mori Seiki, Makino, or Hyundai-Wia carrying a Fanuc Series 0i, 30i, 31i, or 32i control is the same conversation, and we buy the whole machine.

Do you buy loose Fanuc controls, drives, and servos, or only complete machines?

Both. CNC Drives and Motors is 648 listings here, and A06B servo and amplifier numbers run to 1,991 listings on their own. The part number off the label starts it.

Will you buy a Fanuc that is not running?

Yes. Running, idle under power, faulted and awaiting a repair decision, or already decommissioned are all buyable. Tell us the condition up front so the number reflects the machine.

Do you buy Fanuc robots and Roboshot molding machines too?

Yes. CNC Robots is 448 listings, and the robot families run ArcMate at 102, LR Mate at 85, and CRX at 23, with Roboshot at 12. A cell gets quoted with the iron.

How does MTE decide what a used Fanuc is worth?

Model and configuration, then control generation, spindle hours, condition, and documented service history. Jason Puuri weighs those himself instead of running a formula, so a data plate and photos move it fastest.

Do you buy a single Fanuc or a whole floor at once?

Either. One Robodrill in the corner and a row of Fanuc-controlled machining centers in a changeover are both one quote and one pickup, each unit scoped on its own.

When do I get paid, and is this consignment?

At pickup. MTE buys outright as the principal, so there is no consignment, no auction wait, and no commission off the back end. You receive the number you accept.

Thinking about selling Fanuc Machines and Controls?

The Fanuc book carries 8,249 distinct model numbers behind 8,838 listings, so almost every unit is its own identifier, not a repeat of the last. Lead with that identifier: the data plate on a Robodrill, the i-series generation on a Robocut, the A06B number off a servo label. Jason Puuri reads it and quotes the machine on the floor and the rack on the shelf together.
