CNC-Machinecentres

Used machining centres are used for the cutting and precision machining of metal components. They mill, drill, tap, turn or machine complex geometries in multiple axes and are especially important for the finishing of die cast, gravity cast and low pressure cast parts.

FISS Machines offers used CNC machining centres, horizontal and vertical machining centres, CNC milling machines, CNC transfer machines, turning centres and flexible manufacturing cells. The decisive factor is whether machine, spindle, axes, tool changer, workholding, control system and automation match the planned machining task.

Machining centres complete the process chain after casting

Many cast parts only receive their final function through precise CNC machining. Holes, sealing surfaces, threads, fits and functional surfaces must be produced reproducibly.

Milling Machine flat surfaces, contours, pockets and technical functional surfaces.
Drilling Produce hole patterns, channels, mounting points and precision fits.
Tapping Create internal threads and assembly points in a process-safe way.
Automation Pallet changers, robots or transfer systems increase output.

Which used machining centre fits the application?

The right machine depends on workpiece size, material, machining strategy, number of axes, spindle concept, tool requirements, clamping technology, cycle time and degree of automation.

Universal

Vertical machining centres

Vertical CNC machining centres are versatile and suitable for milling, drilling and tapping small to medium-sized workpieces.

For flexible machining, prototypes, series production and easy operation.
Series production

Horizontal machining centres

Horizontal machining centres are particularly suitable for series components, multi-sided machining, pallet changers and automated production cells.

For high output, stable processes and multi-sided machining.
Complex geometries

5-axis machining centres

5-axis machines enable the machining of complex component geometries with fewer clamping operations and better accessibility.

For demanding contours, free-form surfaces and precise complete machining.
Cycle time

Multi-spindle and transfer machines

Multi-spindle systems and transfer machines can provide high productivity on a comparatively compact footprint for large production volumes.

For series production, short cycle times and recurring components.
Turning & milling

Turning centres and complete machining

Depending on the configuration, turning centres combine turning, milling and drilling processes and are suitable for rotationally symmetrical or combined parts.

For components with turning operations, functional surfaces and integrated finishing.

Machine, workholding and automation as one system

A machining centre is only as good as its process environment. Workpiece fixture, clamping device, tool supply, coolant system, chip conveyor, measuring systems and automation influence quality, cycle time and availability.

Especially with used machines, it should be checked whether the existing peripheral equipment can be reused or whether fixtures, control system, tool magazine, pallet changer or robot integration need to be adapted.

What to check when buying a used machining centre

In addition to year of manufacture and manufacturer, machine condition, axes, spindle, control system, tool changer, accuracy and available peripheral equipment should be checked carefully.

Machine type, number of axes, travel paths, working area and maximum workpiece size
Spindle speed, spindle power, tool interface and spindle condition
Guideways, ball screws, axis drives, rotary table and accuracy
Tool magazine, tool changer, pallet changer and clamping technology
CNC control, software version, programmes, interfaces and documentation
Coolant system, chip conveyor, extraction, hydraulics and pneumatics
Safety technology, spare parts availability, maintenance history and electrical condition
Dismantling, transport, reassembly, refurbishment and recommissioning

Used CNC machining centres from established manufacturers

FISS Machines trades used machining centres, CNC milling machines, CNC transfer machines and turning centres from established manufacturers. Depending on availability, machines from Chiron, Heckert, SW Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen, Heller, DMG, Mori Seiki, Okuma, Mazak, Stama, Brother and other manufacturers may be considered.

Buy or sell used machining centres

FISS Machines supports industrial companies worldwide in buying and selling used machining centres, CNC milling machines, turning centres and manufacturing cells. In addition to brokerage and international marketing, direct purchase by FISS may also be an option depending on the project.

If no suitable machine is currently listed online, FISS can search its international network and check suitable solutions for the planned CNC machining process.
