Used Milacron Roboshot 165: Sell or Buy at Auction
Milacron is an American injection molding machine manufacturer, one of the largest and oldest in the industry. Milacron's Roboshot (all-electric) and Vista (hydraulic) injection molding machines are common in North American plastics molding shops. Known for reliable performance and domestic parts support.
The Milacron Roboshot 165 is an all-electric injection molding machine rated at 165 US tons of clamping force. The Roboshot line is built by FANUC and has long been distributed and serviced across North America by Milacron, the injection molding brand historically known as Cincinnati Milacron. It runs on FANUC's own CNC control and AC servo drives, the same servo and control technology behind FANUC's CNC machine tools and robots, which gives the 165 tight shot-to-shot repeatability on shot size, injection speed, and metering that a comparably sized hydraulic toggle press struggles to hold. Custom molders running close-tolerance medical, electronics, and connector parts favor this size for its clean, oil-free drive, its cleanroom compatibility, and its lower energy draw per cycle, since the servos pull power only when an axis is actually moving. At auction, a documented Roboshot 165 with its mold-mounting hardware, robot interface, and maintenance and process records draws strong interest from precision molders and consumer-products manufacturers who value FANUC's proven controls and Milacron's North American parts and service. KD Auctions markets machines like this to its 500,000+ industry contacts, pairing plant walkthroughs and run video with each listing so precision molders can bid with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Milacron Roboshot 165 worth at auction?
Value depends on the machine's age, accumulated cycles or hours, the condition of the FANUC CNC control and AC servo drives, and what tooling, hot-runner controls, or robot interfaces are included. Because the machine is all-electric, drive, screw, and toggle wear weigh on price differently than they would on a hydraulic press. KD Auctions offers a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you know where your specific unit stands before deciding whether to sell.
How does the Roboshot 165 compare to a hydraulic injection molding machine?
The Roboshot 165 is all-electric, driven by FANUC servo motors and CNC control rather than a hydraulic power pack. In practice that means faster dry-cycle times, quieter running, no hydraulic oil to filter or dispose of, and the kind of shot-to-shot consistency that suits medical and electronics work, including cleanroom lines. Because the servos draw power only when an axis moves, it also uses less energy per cycle than a comparable hydraulic toggle machine. Clean, well-maintained all-electric presses tend to hold their value well in the current used-equipment market.
