Used 5 Axis Machining Centers in Umbria, Italy

Overview

5-axis machining centers are advanced CNC machines that move a cutting tool or workpiece along five axes simultaneously, allowing complex geometries to be milled in a single setup. They reduce repositioning, improve accuracy and surface finish, and are used in aerospace, moldmaking, medical, and automotive industries. Typical features include rotary or tilting tables, high-speed spindles, rigid frames, and modern controllers. When buying used, check controller compatibility, spindle condition, axis backlash, and software support.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used 5‑axis machining center?

Verify controller model and CAM compatibility, spindle hours and runout, axis backlash and homing, service records, accuracy tests (ballbar), tool changer condition, spare parts availability, and retrofit or software upgrade options. Arrange a test cut if possible.

How is a 5‑axis machining center shipped safely?

Use a specialized heavy‑equipment mover. Machines often need partial disassembly, skidding, crating and crane loading. Secure axes, lock heads, drain fluids, protect electronics, and plan permits and insurance. Expect precision releveling and alignment after delivery.

What maintenance keeps a 5‑axis running accurately?

Regular spindle checks, lubrication of ball screws and linear guides, coolant and filter maintenance, periodic axis backlash checks and servo tuning, accuracy checks (ballbar or laser), controller backups, and scheduled preventive service from experienced technicians.
