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 parent company, which, as of 2026, 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, an outright purchase by KD Machinery is very realistic here: offer the same day; you are paid in full, after inspection, before the machine is removed; and removal is timed around your schedule.

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 USPAP-compliant appraisals from AMEA-certified appraisers prepared in the form lenders, courts, and trustees expect.
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. An outright purchase by KD Machinery moves quicker, with an offer the same day; you are paid in full, after inspection, before the machine is removed; and removal is timed around your schedule.
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 arrange an outright purchase of the lot by KD Machinery, 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, through KD Machinery, our parent company, and complete robots with current-generation controllers are among the assets KD Machinery is most willing to purchase, because they are straightforward to place. You get an offer the same day; you are paid in full, after inspection, before the machine is removed; and removal is timed around your schedule. KD Machinery can also take an entire cell, including fencing, positioners, and weld packages, in a single transaction.
