Machine Tool Exchange buys used Fanuc equipment directly from shops, manufacturers, and machine owners across all 50 states. We buy Fanuc-built machines like the Robodrill drill-tap center and the Robocut wire EDM, and we buy machines that run a Fanuc control on any builder's iron, including Doosan, Mori Seiki, Makino, and more. If you have Fanuc equipment to move, we give you a fast, fair, market-based quote and pay at pickup.
We are not an auction site. We are not a broker. We are not a listing service. We are the buyer. One call, one quote, one transaction. Fanuc is the most installed CNC control in the world, so whether your machine is a Robodrill, a Fanuc-controlled lathe, or a loose control or servo on the shelf, we know what it is worth and we buy it.

We Buy Used Fanuc CNC Machines
Machine Tool Exchange is a direct buyer of used Fanuc CNC machines and Fanuc-controlled equipment nationwide. MTE buys Robodrill drill-tap machining centers, Robocut wire EDM, Robonano ultra-precision machines, Fanuc robots, and any machine running a Fanuc control regardless of builder, plus standalone Fanuc CNC units and servos, in any condition, single units or full fleets, with a quote in 24-48 hours and payment at pickup.
Fanuc is two things at once, and that is exactly why the pool of "I have a Fanuc to sell" owners is so broad. Fanuc builds its own machines, including the Robodrill compact vertical machining center and the Robocut wire EDM. Fanuc also makes the control that runs a huge share of the machine tools on the planet, so "I have a Fanuc machine" can just as easily mean a Doosan, a Mori Seiki, or a Makino with a Fanuc control on the front of it. It can even mean a Fanuc CNC unit, a servo motor, or an amplifier sitting on a shelf. We buy all of it.
MTE buys that equipment directly. We purchase your Fanuc outright, we do not buy on consignment, and we pay at pickup, and we handle the rigging and freight at no cost to you. Whether it is a single Robodrill in the corner of the shop or a row of Fanuc-controlled machining centers coming out during a plant changeover, you get one quote, one contact, and one pickup. If you have Fanuc equipment running in production, sitting idle, or anywhere in between, call 800-822-9524 or fill out the form on our sell page.
Why Fanuc Holds Its Resale Value
Used Fanuc equipment holds its value because the Fanuc control is the global CNC standard, so parts, service, and trained operators are available almost everywhere, which keeps demand and resale firm across builders. A machine running a Fanuc control converts to cash predictably because every shop already knows how to run it, and Fanuc-built machines like the Robodrill carry a reputation that buyers pay for.
Resale value comes down to demand, and demand for Fanuc is structural. Because Fanuc controls ship on so many builders' machines, the install base is enormous, and a deep install base means a deep buyer pool, familiar service, and stocked spare parts. A used machine with a Fanuc control is a known quantity to the next shop, and known quantities sell. That is the foundation under every Fanuc number on the used market.
On the Fanuc-built side, two machines anchor the value. The Robodrill is the global benchmark for high-speed drill-tap work and compact vertical machining, and it is in constant demand from aerospace, medical, and electronics shops that need tight cycle times in a small footprint. Buyers pay up for the higher-spindle-speed units and the larger tool magazines, so a 24,000-RPM-spindle Robodrill with a 21-tool or larger magazine commands more than a base machine. The Robocut wire EDM is a precision-shop staple, and clean, well-maintained units hold strong resale because there is always a die, mold, or close-tolerance shop that needs one.
Three things drive the final number. The first is the model and configuration: a current Robodrill alpha-D21 with a high-speed spindle is worth more than an older base unit, and the same logic applies to a Robocut by i-series generation. The second is the control generation: machines on a current Fanuc Series 30i, 31i, or 32i control generally bring more than older 0i-equipped machines, because newer controls are what buyers want for current programming and connectivity. The third is condition and history: spindle hours, ball-screw and axis condition, and documented maintenance all move the number, and a machine with clean service records valued higher than one without.
For context, secondary-market asking prices on used Fanuc equipment cover a wide range. Used machines in the Fanuc drilling category, which includes the Robodrill, average around $11,500 and run from roughly $250 for older or parts-grade units up to about $24,000 for clean, current machines. A used Robocut alpha-C600iA from the mid-2010s has listed around $51,000. Those figures are market context, not a quote. What your specific machine is worth depends on the details, which is exactly what our valuation looks at.
Fanuc Machines and Controls We Buy
MTE buys the full Fanuc footprint, both Fanuc-built machines and machines running a Fanuc control. Below are the groups we see and purchase most often. If your machine is not listed, it does not mean we will not buy it. Call 800-822-9524 and we will tell you.
Fanuc Robodrill Drill-Tap and Compact VMCs
The Robodrill is the flagship Fanuc-built machine and the one we are asked about most. We buy the full alpha-D line, including the alpha-D14, the volume-selling alpha-D21, and the larger alpha-D28, across the S, M, L, and XL frame sizes and the Plus variants, along with the Robodrill MATE and the broader Robodrill ALPHA range. These are high-speed drill-tap and compact machining centers built for aerospace, medical, and electronics production, where fast tool changes and tight cycle times matter. Because the Robodrill is a vertical machining center at heart, you can sell your VMC of any brand to us, and if you run yours primarily for hole-making, you can sell your drilling and tapping center just as easily.
Fanuc Robocut Wire EDM and Robonano
Fanuc wire EDM holds strong precision-shop demand, and we buy all of it. That covers the Robocut alpha-C400i, alpha-C600i, and alpha-C800i in the i-series B and C generations, the workhorses of die, mold, and close-tolerance work. We also buy the Robonano alpha-NMi, Fanuc's ultra-precision nano machining platform used in optics and high-end tooling. If you run Fanuc EDM, you can sell your wire EDM to us directly, and we buy sinker and other EDM machines of any make alongside it.
Fanuc Robots and Roboshot Injection Molding
Fanuc is one of the largest industrial robot makers in the world, and automation comes up constantly in shop clearances and facility moves. We buy Fanuc industrial robots, including the M-series, R-series, and LR Mate lines, and we buy Roboshot electric injection molding machines. If a robot cell or a Roboshot is part of the equipment you are clearing, include it in the conversation and we will quote it with the rest of the floor.
Machines Running a Fanuc Control (Any Builder)
This is the part of the Fanuc market that almost nobody serves cleanly. A huge share of machines on shop floors are not Fanuc-built at all, but they run a Fanuc control, and that control is a real value driver. We buy the whole machine regardless of who built it. That includes Doosan and DN Solutions, Mori Seiki and DMG, Makino, Hardinge, Hyundai-Wia, and many others shipping Fanuc Series 0i, 30i, 31i, and 32i controls. If your machine is a Doosan, a DMG Mori, or a Makino with a Fanuc control, it is the same conversation, and you can sell your machine to us in one transaction. Whether it is a Fanuc-controlled CNC lathe or a Fanuc-controlled CNC mill, we buy it.
Fanuc CNC Units, Servos, and Control Boards
We also buy Fanuc parts. That includes standalone Fanuc Series 0i, 30i, 31i, and 32i CNC units, A06B servo motors, alpha and beta amplifiers, and control boards. If you have parted out a machine or have surplus Fanuc controls and servos on the shelf, they still carry value and we will look at them. Complete machines are our primary focus, but loose Fanuc controls and servos are worth a call.

Why Fanuc Owners Sell to MTE
Fanuc owners sell to MTE when they upgrade or retrofit a control, right-size capacity after a contract ends, consolidate or relocate a facility, retire or settle an estate, standardize a fleet, or clear idle machines, surplus controls, and servos off the floor. In every case MTE buys the displaced Fanuc equipment outright and pays at pickup, so the machine turns back into capital instead of taking up space.
Fanuc equipment turns over on a predictable cycle because the install base is so large and shops are always moving. Here are the situations that most often bring a Fanuc seller to MTE.
Shop Upgrade and Control Retrofit
This is the single biggest reason a Fanuc machine comes off the floor. A shop replaces an older Robodrill with a newer high-speed model, or upgrades a control generation, and the displaced unit still cuts accurate parts but no longer fits the plan. A control retrofit on one machine can free up an older unit entirely. MTE buys the machine you are replacing so it is gone before the new install lands.
Capacity Right-Sizing
A contract ends, a product winds down, or a busy season passes, and a shop finds itself with more Fanuc capacity than it needs. Rather than carry idle iron and pay to insure and house it, owners convert the extra machines to cash. We buy a single surplus Robodrill just as readily as several.
Facility Consolidation and Relocation
Mergers, footprint reduction, and moves push production into fewer buildings. When two shops become one, or when a plant relocates and the freight on aging equipment does not pencil out, the duplicate or oversized Fanuc machines become surplus. MTE quotes the whole group on one pickup schedule.
Retirement and Estate Situations
When an owner retires or an estate has to settle a shop, the machines are often the most valuable and most liquid assets on the floor, and Fanuc equipment moves fast because so many buyers already run the control. Families and partners come to MTE because we make a clean, fast offer, handle the removal, and write one check rather than leaving them to manage a drawn-out sale.
Fleet Standardization, Idle Units, and Surplus Controls and Servos
Larger shops periodically standardize on specific models or control generations to simplify programming, tooling, and training, and the off-standard machines get sold to fund it. A Robodrill sitting under power but unused, or one with a fault waiting on a decision, is dead capital too, and so are the loose Fanuc controls and servos on the shelf. A machine does not have to be running for us to make an offer, and idle or non-running units and surplus Fanuc controls and servos still carry value.

How to Sell Your Fanuc to MTE
Selling a Fanuc to Machine Tool Exchange is a three-step process: tell us what you have, get a market-based quote within 24-48 hours, and we handle the rigging and freight and pay at pickup. There is no listing, no auction wait, and no commission.
Step 1: Tell Us What You Have
Call 800-822-9524 or fill out the form. Give us the model, year, and condition. For a Fanuc, a few details speed the quote and tend to raise the number: photos, the control type and generation (0i, 30i, 31i, or 32i), and for a Robodrill the alpha-D model, the spindle RPM, and the tool-magazine count. For a Robocut, note the alpha-C model and i-series generation. If you are selling a loose control or a servo, the Fanuc unit or part number is all we need to start. For more than one machine, a simple list with models and quantities is enough.
Step 2: Get a Quote Within 24-48 Hours
Our purchasing team values your Fanuc against current secondary-market data along with the model, year, condition, spindle hours, control generation, and included tooling. Because the Fanuc install base is so large and the control is so common, we can build an accurate, transparent number quickly. No lowball formulas, no pressure, no obligation.
Step 3: We Handle Rigging, Freight, and Pay at Pickup
Accept the quote and MTE takes it from there. We arrange and pay for rigging, crating, and freight nationwide, and we pay at pickup. We coordinate the removal around your schedule so the machine comes off the floor with no logistics cost or hassle to you, whether it is one Robodrill or a row of Fanuc-controlled machining centers.
No listing your machine and waiting months. No auction gamble. No tire-kickers. One quote, one pickup, one payment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Fanuc machines and controls does MTE buy?
MTE buys Fanuc Robodrill drill-tap machining centers, Robocut wire EDM, Robonano ultra-precision machines, Fanuc robots and Roboshot injection molding, and any machine running a Fanuc control on any builder, plus standalone Fanuc CNC units and servos. Any model, any condition, any quantity, from a single Robodrill to a full fleet. If you have a Fanuc machine or control that is not on this list, call 800-822-9524 and we will tell you if we buy it.
Does MTE buy a machine that has a Fanuc control but is another brand, like a Doosan, Mori Seiki, or Makino?
Yes. A large share of machines on shop floors run a Fanuc control on another builder's iron, and the Fanuc control is a real value driver. We buy the whole machine regardless of who built it, whether it is a Doosan, a Mori Seiki, a Makino, or any other brand carrying a Fanuc Series 0i, 30i, 31i, or 32i control.
How much is my used Fanuc worth, and how does MTE decide the price?
We value your Fanuc using current secondary-market data along with the model, year, condition, spindle hours, control generation, and included tooling and maintenance history. Fanuc holds its value because the control is the global standard, which keeps the buyer pool, parts, and service available almost everywhere. You get a transparent, market-based offer with no lowball formulas and no obligation.
How fast can I get a quote for my Fanuc?
Most quotes are returned within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your machine details. Call 800-822-9524 or submit the form on our sell page with the model, year, and condition. Including photos, the control type, and for a Robodrill the alpha-D model, spindle RPM, and tool-magazine count speeds up the process.
Does MTE buy non-running or older Fanuc machines, controls, or servos?
Yes. We buy Fanuc equipment in any condition: running in production, under power, sitting idle, or decommissioned. Older Robodrills and standalone Fanuc controls and servos still carry value on the used market, and a machine does not need to be operational for us to make an offer.
Do you buy a single Fanuc machine or a whole shop, including robots and parts?
Both. We buy a single Robodrill just as readily as a full fleet or an entire facility, including Fanuc robots, surplus controls, and servos. It is one quote, one contact, and one pickup, whether you are selling one machine or twenty.
When do I get paid, and does MTE buy on consignment?
MTE pays at pickup. We are a direct buyer that purchases your Fanuc outright, so there is no consignment, no listing wait, and no auction. Payment is processed promptly once terms are finalized and the machine is collected.
