Buying Used Machines? Keep These Things in Mind

-


Purchasing new machinery can cost a huge amount of money which most people lack to invest. For this reason, most of the reputed and non-reputed companies switch to buying used machines and spend most of the money on other sectors of their company. The used machines can be a wise investment if one keeps a few factors in mind. You can expect good results from a used one too if you make an informed and smart buying decision.

Need for a professional
CNC machines are more expensive than any other machine that you may wish to buy for your company. If it is your first time in the industry, it would be a reasonable step to buy a used CNC milling machine.

The CNC milling machine is a large machine that needs more than average space. The table size of the device must be of 900 x 460 mm having a capacity to load up to 400kgs. The machine must have a vice, cooler, and other variety of tool holders too.

Apart from these basic features, to check the condition of your used CNC milling machine, try appointing a professional machine inspector for a smart purchase decision.  

A peek into the used sheet metalworking equipment
Machines that cut and give shapes to a sheet of metal is a sheet metal machine. The sheet metal machines are made to make the work easier and faster. Hence, efficiency, quality, and performance are the fundamental expectations of the device. Different tasks like spinning, ironing, stamping, perforating are also done using the machine.

Since it's a multi-purpose and a highly demanding machine, it comes with a high price tag too. This is why it is best to invest in a used one. While buying a used sheet metalworking equipment, keep a check on the rollers of the device as they play the leading role in performance.

The roller shaft of a section roller should be of 35mm in diameter and be in a brand new condition. The edge should be flat 50 x 10 mm while the pipe should be 38mm in diameter. If you're buying the plate bending used sheet metalworking equipment, the motor power should be 30Kw along with a functional bending equipment. It should be hydraulic with bending length of 2000mm, rolling capacity worth 37mm, and pre-bending capacity worth 28mm. Also, don't forget to check if the machine has a reputed brand name or not.

What to expect while looking for a used shearing machine
The hydraulic shearing machine system is driven mechanically, be it used or a new machine. The hydraulic system prompts and presses the blade in an up and down movement while the mechanical machine does the job with extra noise and electricity consumption.

While buying a mechanical used shearing machine, you need to ensure that the machine is equipped with other gadgets such as, a back gauge (manual), angel arm, and two pieces of table extension along with its cut length being 1050mm, thickness worth 2mm.

For a hydraulic used shearing machine, the cutting length increases to 2050mm and plate thickness to 4mm and there are other equipments like an angle arm and a back gauge (manually front operated).

Things to consider before buying used machine tools
The primary factor that you must check before buying used machine tools is the quality of the iron. In most of the cases, metal from the suppliers looks rusty and old. Avoid such machine parts. Even if you're paying for the used machine tools, they should perform well and be in a usable condition.

Summing it up
Most of the entrepreneurs choose used machines over the new ones. To get the best used machine in the market, find a reputed seller who will be able to provide you with high quality without exceeding your budget.
