Used CNC Machines
Used CNC Machines
Even in good times most manufacturing and machining companies have always done their best to keep the cost of their equipment as low as possible. Now that the world economy is in freefall, these companies are trying to cut back even further on their budgets as they try to make ends meet. More of these companies are turning to buying used CNC machines such as lathes, bar feeders and many other pieces of the equipment they have to have to stay in business. However, while buying used equipment may seem like a good idea there are some tips that you can follow that will help make it a good idea.
The most important tip is that you need to take a very close look the overall condition of the used CNC machines you plan to buy as many of them are sold are sold without any kind of warranty to back them up if something goes wrong. This means that you are buying the machinery without ever having seen it actually, run unless you are buying it directly from the original owner and can go to their facility to see it in action.
In most cases you will be buying the used CNC machines from a company that deals in used manufacturing equipment and has the equipment stored in a warehouse ready to be delivered to the first customer who agrees to buy it. While they may be able to tell you where it came from and that it worked when it was taken out of service, they may or may not be able to guarantee that it actually works.
When you are looking at used CNC machines there are several things you can look at that can help you make the best choices and reduce the chance of getting stuck with a lemon. You can start by looking at the manufacturing plate to find the date of manufacture; you can look at the operators console to see how many operating hours are recorded to give you an idea how long the machine has been in service.
You should make a thorough visual inspection of the equipment to see if there any obvious signs of damage, leaks or abuse.
You might also be able to tell a lot about used CNC machines by the type of company that they come from. If it was a heavy manufacturing facility, you can assume they have had a hard life, if on the other hand it was a testing and research facility or a small machine shop you may be latching on to a real gem. The best way to ensure that you are going to get a good deal is to take you time and look around at what is available before you invest in your next piece of CNC equipment.
At Superior Machinery you will find a full range of used machinery that makes it easy to find everything you need to re-equip your facility at prices that are well within your budget. The search the country in search of the best surplus equipment available, if you do not see what you are looking for you can contact them and they will do their best to locate it for you.

CNC Machines: A Manufacturing Revolution
What is a CNC Machine? It is a machine used in manufacturing of machined parts usually mass manufacturing. What does the acronym CNC stand for? CNC means Computer Numerical Control and CNC machines have been used in manufacturing from the early 1970's. The precursor to CNC machines was a similar machine called an NC machine, which stood for Numerical Control, e.g., it did not have the computer to program and store the machines movements.
If you are working in manufacturing, then you most likely will be dealing with a CNC machine on a regular basis. CNC machines are used in almost every step of the manufacturing process; from drilling holes, turning, winding, milling, grinding, cutting and other fabrication processes. Where to find CNC machines or equipment? Superior Machinery buys and sells new and used CNC machinery on a regular basis.
The primary advantage of a CNC machine is that it is computer controlled. No matter how many iterations used in the machining process, it is all programmed and controlled by its computer eliminating most if not all of the manual work otherwise associated with conventional machines. CNC machines have several advantages:
- more efficient (reduces manual labor)
- produces consistent quality (reduces mistakes or scrap)
- is more productive (reduces time to manufacture parts)
- and many other advantages not listed
CNC machines come in many forms
CNC is involved is almost every facet of manufacturing where the machining processes have been improved or enhanced through the use of CNC technology. Below is a list of some CNC machines used for manufacturing and most of these are available through Superior Machinery as used and new equipment:
- CNC Turning Centers include all kinds of turning operations like facing, boring, turning, grooving, knurling, and threading.
- CNC Machining Centers which can be CNC Horizontals / CNC Verticals include all kinds of milling (face milling, contour milling, slot milling, etc.), drilling, tapping, reaming, boring, and counter boring.
- CNC Milling Machines, CNC Drill and Tap Centers, and CNC lathes are variations of the CNC Turning Centers and CNC Machining Centers.
- CNC grinders perform a variety of grinding operations like outside diameter (OD) grinding and internal diameter (ID) grinding and Contour grinding.
- CNC Electrical discharge machining (EDM) or CNC EDM is the process of removing metal through the use of electrical sparks which burn away the metal.
