If you are running a manufacturing plant that still needs to stick within its budget, the lure of buying pre-owned CNC machines can be strong. While there is nothing wrong with buying used tools, you still need to know what to ask and to look for. Experts state that these are some of the most important things to know before buying Cleveland used Mazak equipment.
Machine Tolerance
Basically, this refers to the physical deviation of the machine’s original measurements that are deemed to still be acceptable. This is actually normal to happen during normal use of the machine and can be caused by such things as the humidity level as well as temperature in general.
Machine Hours
Many dealers will advertise “power-on” hours but this does not necessarily reflect the actual cutting time hours that the milling tool will have undergone or is capable of. Ask the dealer what the real difference between the two is so that you can get a true gauge of where the machine is at in its lifespan.
Life Spans
The average lifespan of a machine is very important to take into consideration. While it is a very good idea to purchase Cleveland-used Mazak equipment, you’ll want to do the math and see how much you are actually saving versus buying brand new. You may want to ask if the machine is under warranty as well.
