Used & Second Hand VMC Machines for Sale

A Vertical Machining Center (VMC) utilizes a vertically oriented spindle to mill, drill, bore, and tap metal workparts from above along linear axes. Used VMCs available span build years from 1993 to 2014, featuring popular industrial brands like Fanuc, Kitamura, and Leadwell equipped primarily with Fanuc CNC controls.

Vertical machining centers handle everything from single-piece mold cavities to volume component production by moving a cutting tool along X, Y, and Z axes. Beyond basic 3-axis mills, shops choose twin pallet configurations for reduced downtime, 4-axis rotary tables for indexing, or 5-axis models to machine complex contours in a single setup. The primary specifications separating these machines include table dimensions, spindle taper and maximum RPM, tool changer capacity, and the specific CNC system integrated into the machine.

When inspecting a used VMC, check the spindle taper for scoring or runout, listen to the gearbox and spindle bearings at various RPMs, and inspect the telescopicway covers for coolant leaks or crash dents. Verify that the automatic tool changer cycles smoothly without dropping tools or jamming during arm rotation. Axis ball screws and linear guideways must be checked for backlash and wear to ensure the machine maintains positional repeatability under load.

The current inventory includes standard 3-axis configurations alongside specialized 4-axis, 5-axis, twin pallet, and drill tap centers. Brands represented range from Dahlih, Daewoo Doosan, and Hardinge to Hyundai and Yang, paired mostly with Fanuc CNC units alongside individual Mitsubishi and Mazatrol setups. All machines can be inspected directly at the Corel Machinery yard in Nashik before purchase.
