Fanuc Way Covers
Fanuc CNC Way Cover Replacement
Fanuc is primarily a controls vendor — your machine is built by Doosan, Haas, or another OEM and runs a Fanuc control. Way covers come through the original integrator's parts supply, framed by the Fanuc control generation (which correlates with machine era). We build covers to spec for the full Fanuc-controlled fleet from deep-legacy Series 0 through current 30i-B. Find your control below, or browse by service type.
Brands that ship Fanuc controls
Fanuc is primarily a controls vendor — your machine is built by one of these OEMs and uses a Fanuc control. Way cover sourcing comes through the original integrator (Doosan, Haas, etc.). Pick the brand for series-specific cover notes, or pick a Fanuc generation below for era-based parts-availability framing.
Browse by Era
Fanuc-controlled machine way cover sourcing patterns differ by control generation. Pick yours for era-based parts-availability framing.
- Series 0 / 0M / 0T (Pre-i Legacy) — 1980s-1990s. Custom-fab almost universally; original integrators discontinued.
- Series 6 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 15 — 1980s-2000s. Mostly custom-fab; Series 15 sometimes has OEM through original integrator.
- Series 16i / 18i / 21i — 1995-2010. Split between OEM-available and custom-fab; depends on integrator.
- Series 0i (A/B/C/D/F) — 2003-present. Mostly OEM-available through original integrators.
- Series 30i / 31i / 32i / 35i — 2008-present. Fully OEM-available through original integrators.
- Power Mate i — Dedicated-axis covers — rotary indexers, sub-spindles, bar feeders.

What brings Fanuc way cover orders in
Most Fanuc-controlled-machine way cover orders split between three patterns. Deep-legacy Series 0 and 6-15 — custom-fab almost universally because original integrator OEM supply is gone. Mid-life Series 16i/18i/21i — split between OEM-available and custom-fab depending on the integrator. Current Series 0i and 30i — mostly OEM-available through Doosan, Haas, etc., with custom-fab as an option when timing favors. The era frames the parts-availability conversation.
How we approach Fanuc way cover orders
Fanuc way cover work starts with confirming the machine OEM (Doosan, Haas, or other) and the control generation. From there it's a fork: current 0i/30i machines route through OEM-spec with custom-fab as an option; mid-life 16i/18i/21i splits between paths; legacy generations route through custom fabrication.
Lead Time & Process
2 to 4 weeks on most way cover orders, depending on dimensions, material, and the configuration coordination needed. Complex multi-axis cover sets can run slightly longer. Our three-step workflow keeps it transparent:
- Send measurements or the original cover. Call 319-610-4341 or use the quote form. Bring us dimensions, the original part, or way-system measurements.
- Quote the build. We confirm style (bellows, telescoping steel, roll-up), material, and lead time. Routing between OEM-spec and custom fabrication happens here.
- Fabricate & ship. On approval we build to spec and ship anywhere in the continental US. Rush options are available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Fanuc way-covers page structured differently?
Fanuc is primarily a controls vendor — your machine is built by Doosan, Haas, or another OEM. Way cover sourcing comes through the original integrator, not Fanuc directly. Our Fanuc way-covers hub is organized by control generation because that's the right lens for parts availability — Fanuc generation correlates with machine era which correlates with OEM cover supply.
Which Fanuc generation do you see most often for way covers?
Series 0i (specifically 0i-D and 0i-F) is by far the most common Fanuc generation on machines we build covers for. Series 16i/18i/21i is second-most-common — many late-1990s through 2000s machines still in production. Series 30i is growing as those builds age.
Can you build covers for Doosan or Haas machines with older Fanuc controls?
Yes. We work from the machine model rather than the control alone. For older Doosan Puma with Fanuc 16i/18i/21i, we check OEM availability through DN Solutions; if OEM is no longer available, custom-fab to spec from your existing cover. Same workflow for older Haas with Classic Control.
Do Fanuc-controlled machines use different cover styles than non-Fanuc machines?
No. Cover style (telescoping steel / bellows / roll-up) is determined by the machine's mechanical design, not the control. Most Fanuc-controlled production lathes use telescoping steel; verticals and 5-axis machines mix telescoping with bellows for trunnion-adjacent areas.
How does cross-brand coordination work for shops with mixed fleets?
Many shops run Fanuc-controlled machines from multiple OEMs. We can build covers for multiple machines in a single coordinated order across Doosan, Haas, and other Fanuc-controlled platforms. Coordination on shipping and installation is part of the package.
Do you ship Fanuc-controlled machine way covers outside Iowa?
Yes. We ship anywhere in the continental US.
