Sell Your Fanuc Robots and CNC Equipment: Automation With a Worldwide Market
Fanuc is the most widely installed automation platform on earth, and that ubiquity is what makes used Fanuc liquid. An M-20iA, an LR Mate 200iD, or an R-2000iC is not a bespoke asset, it is a known quantity with published payload and reach that an integrator can spec into a cell the same week. The audience is also different from the machine tool crowd: systems integrators, automotive and electronics manufacturers, and steady international interest out of Mexico and Eastern Europe.
Price is driven by the controller more than the arm. An R-30iB or later controller commands more than an earlier generation on the same robot, and completeness is everything: controller, teach pendant, cables, end-of-arm tooling, and on an ARC Mate 100iC the welding package and positioner. Servo hours and backed-up programs finish the number.
Three Ways to Sell
Robots move differently from machine tools, which changes the channel math. Auction is strong when a plant releases several arms and a full cell at once, because integrators buy in quantity and the sale reaches 500,000+ industry contacts, running 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout. Retail placement through KD Machinery, our retail arm that sells more than 750 machine tools a year, suits a single late-controller robot that a specific integrator has been hunting for months. And because a robot crates rather than needing a rigging crew and a foundation, cash purchase is very realistic here: offer in 24 to 72 hours, funds typically 3 to 7 days after acceptance, removal in 1 to 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is my Fanuc robot worth?
Start with controller generation, then payload and reach, then completeness. A complete M-10iA with its controller, pendant, cables, and end-of-arm tooling is worth substantially more than a bare arm, and a robot pulled cleanly with its programs backed up is worth more than one cut out of a line. We price from live transaction data, and when a formal number is needed for financing or an estate, we issue AMEA-certified, USPAP-compliant appraisals accepted by lenders, courts, and the IRS.
How fast can I sell Fanuc robots?
Faster than most heavy machine tools, because a robot ships in a crate and does not need a foundation or a millwright crew on the receiving end. A managed auction still runs 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to payout so the sale reaches the integrator audience properly. A cash purchase moves quicker, with an offer in 24 to 72 hours, funds typically 3 to 7 days after acceptance, and removal in 1 to 2 weeks.
Should I sell robots to an integrator, auction them, or use KD Auctions?
An integrator buying your robots directly is buying resale inventory, so their offer has to include their own margin. An auction puts the same arms in front of many integrators at once instead of one. KD Auctions can run that auction, place a specific robot retail, or purchase the lot outright, and for a plant clearing an automated line we often recommend a mix rather than forcing everything down one channel.
Do you buy Fanuc robots outright?
Yes, and complete robots with current-generation controllers are among the assets we are most willing to purchase, because they are straightforward to place. You get an offer in 24 to 72 hours subject to inspection, funds typically 3 to 7 days after acceptance, and removal in 1 to 2 weeks. We can also take an entire cell, including fencing, positioners, and weld packages, in a single transaction.
