New Fanuc Robodrill VMCs Enhance Capabilities Upland Fab is proud to announce the acquisition of two powerful new CNC machine tools. Our Fanuc Robodrill T14iBL and T21iE Vertical Machining Centers use super-rigid construction and state-of-the-art technology to deliver amazing speed and accuracy. Precise high-speed contouring and super-minute line segment programming provide smooth machined surfaces that virtually eliminate the need for hand finishing. The T14iBL has a 15,000 rpm spindle and the T21iE has a 24,000 rpm spindle. Both have .0002” position accuracy with .00007” repeatability, and tool changes take a mere 1.7 seconds from chip to chip. With these advanced machines we can deliver incredibly accurate parts in less time, saving our customers time and money. Upland Fab is committed to the latest in machining technology to deliver quality and value, now and into the future.
