Used Fanuc R-2000iC: Sell or Buy at Auction
FANUC is the world's largest manufacturer of industrial robots and CNC systems, with a dominant position in factory automation globally. FANUC robots and CNC-controlled machines are ubiquitous in automotive, electronics, and precision manufacturing. The FANUC control system is the most widely installed CNC in the world.
The FANUC R-2000iC is a six-axis, heavy-payload articulated robot built for high-force material handling, spot welding, machine tending, and part transfer, which is why it became the standard arm in automotive body shops and heavy-panel cells. The family covers a wide spread of variants: the long-reach R-2000iC/125L carries 125 kg out to a 3.1-meter reach, while the shorter, higher-payload F models, including the 165F, 210F, and the 270-kg 270F, work closer in at roughly a 2.65-meter reach, all holding positioning repeatability in the hundredths of a millimeter. R-2000iC units run on FANUC's R-30iB or R-30iB Plus controller, the generation that shipped with this robot, so a used arm should come matched to one of those rather than the older R-30iA of the prior R-2000iB series. Because the R-2000iC does heavy, repetitive line work, buyers are typically systems integrators, Tier 1 automotive suppliers, and metal fabricators retooling a welding or handling line, not shops chasing small-parts precision. A complete cell, meaning the robot, controller, teach pendant, cabling, and end-of-arm tooling, can be redeployed almost immediately, so intact R-2000iC cells draw fast, competitive bidding at auction through KD Auctions' reach of 500,000+ industry contacts, with strong export interest from Mexico, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Units documented and sold as a full cell with cabling, program backups, and mounting fixtures consistently outperform a bare arm sold alone.
Buying a Used R-2000iC
Automotive manufacturers, electronics assemblers, precision machining shops, and systems integrators. International buyers, particularly from Mexico, Asia, and Eastern Europe, actively pursue FANUC robots at North American auctions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a used FANUC R-2000iC robot worth at auction?
Value depends on the variant's payload and reach, hours in service, overall condition, control generation (R-30iB versus the newer R-30iB Plus), and whether it sells with its teach pendant, cabling, and end-of-arm tooling intact. A robot delivered as a working cell with program backups almost always brings more than a bare arm. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you know where your unit stands before it goes to auction. Commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket.
How is the R-2000iC different from a FANUC Robodrill?
The R-2000iC is a six-axis material handling and spot-welding robot built for automotive and heavy-panel lines, while the Robodrill is a compact CNC machining center for drilling, tapping, and milling precision parts. They handle different steps in production and draw different buyers: integrators and automotive suppliers reach for the R-2000iC, and machine shops bid on the Robodrill. Selling either one starts with a call to 480.455.3910. A managed auction runs about 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout, and onsite dispatch is handled within 48 to 72 hours.
