The 2000 Anderson Stratos SUP is a heavy-duty industrial CNC router designed for demanding manufacturing environments. Built with Anderson’s rigid machine construction and equipped with the dependable Fanuc 0M-C CNC control, this machine is well suited for cabinet manufacturing, architectural millwork, nested-based production, plastics, composite materials, and custom woodworking applications.
Unlike many production routers of this age, this Anderson Stratos SUP accumulated only approximately 4,300 operating hours in a light manufacturing environment. The machine has been well maintained, remains exceptionally clean, and includes original manuals, tooling, and a tool preset fixture—items that are often missing on used equipment.
Whether you are expanding production capacity or replacing an older router, this Anderson Stratos SUP offers proven industrial performance with a controller that remains familiar to many CNC operators.
Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction
The Anderson Stratos SUP was engineered for production cabinet shops and industrial woodworking facilities that require long-term accuracy and reliability. Its rigid welded frame, precision linear motion system, and full-size 5′ × 10′ vacuum table make it well suited for nested-based manufacturing, architectural millwork, plastics, composites, and custom woodworking applications. Even after approximately 4,300 operating hours, this machine remains exceptionally clean and reflects careful ownership.
The left-side view highlights the Anderson Stratos SUP’s rigid welded steel frame and full 5′ × 10′ phenolic vacuum table. The machine was engineered for continuous industrial production and provides a stable machining platform capable of maintaining excellent dimensional accuracy during routing, drilling, and nested-based manufacturing. Its heavy-duty gantry design minimizes vibration while delivering consistent cutting performance across the entire work area.
Rear View
The rear of the machine provides a clear view of the machine base, cable management system, and service access. Anderson designed the Stratos SUP with maintenance accessibility in mind, allowing technicians to reach major mechanical and electrical components without extensive disassembly. The enclosed cable carriers help protect power and control wiring while maintaining reliable machine operation in demanding production environments.
BT-30 Automatic Tool Changer
The 8-position automatic tool changer uses industry-standard BT-30 tooling, allowing multiple cutting tools to remain loaded and automatically exchanged during machining programs. Automatic tool changing reduces setup time, increases productivity, and enables complex machining operations to be completed in a single cycle without operator intervention. BT-30 tooling is widely available, making replacement tool holders and accessories easy to source.
7.5 kW Router Spindle
The machine is equipped with a powerful 7.5 kW (10 HP continuous) high-speed routing spindle designed for demanding production work. The spindle provides ample power for machining hardwoods, plywood, MDF, plastics, composites, and many non-ferrous materials while maintaining excellent surface finish quality. Its industrial-duty design delivers dependable performance for both nested-based manufacturing and conventional CNC routing applications.
9-Spindle Vertical Drill Bank
The integrated 9-spindle (5+4) individually selectable vertical drill bank allows multiple drilling operations to be completed simultaneously, dramatically reducing machining cycle times. This configuration is ideal for cabinet sides, shelves, dowel construction, line boring, and other woodworking applications requiring fast, accurate, and repeatable hole placement without additional machine setups.
2-Spindle Horizontal Drill Bank
The 2-spindle horizontal drill bank expands the machine’s capabilities by providing accurate side-hole boring for cabinet construction, dowel assembly, and furniture manufacturing. Integrating horizontal boring directly into the CNC machining cycle eliminates many secondary operations while improving production efficiency and part accuracy.
Fanuc 0M-C CNC Control
The Anderson Stratos SUP is equipped with the proven Fanuc 0M-C CNC control, one of the most widely recognized industrial CNC control platforms in the manufacturing industry. Known for exceptional reliability, long service life, and extensive parts availability, the Fanuc control remains familiar to experienced CNC operators and maintenance technicians. The system supports RS-232 communication for DNC drip feeding and efficient program management.
Becker Vacuum Pump
Vacuum hold-down is provided by a Becker VTLF 250 oil-less rotary vane vacuum pump, supplying consistent vacuum pressure across the phenolic work surface. Becker vacuum pumps are widely respected throughout the woodworking industry for dependable operation, low maintenance requirements, and long service life. Reliable vacuum hold-down allows parts to remain securely positioned throughout routing and drilling operations without mechanical clamping.
Electrical Control Cabinet
The standalone electrical control cabinet houses the machine’s servo amplifiers, variable frequency drive (VFD), power distribution components, electrical protection devices, and primary control electronics. Separating these critical systems from the machine structure improves service accessibility while protecting sensitive electrical equipment from dust and debris generated during production. This industrial cabinet design reflects Anderson’s emphasis on long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.
Why This Anderson Stratos SUP Stands Out
Unlike many production CNC routers of this vintage, this Anderson Stratos SUP has accumulated only approximately 4,300 operating hours and has been exceptionally well maintained throughout its service life. The combination of a Fanuc 0M-C CNC control, BT-30 automatic tool changer, 7.5 kW spindle, integrated vertical and horizontal drilling capabilities, Becker vacuum system, and original documentation makes this machine an outstanding opportunity for manufacturers seeking industrial performance at a fraction of the replacement cost. Whether expanding production capacity or replacing an older router, this machine is ready to return to productive service.
