Used CNC Vertical Machining Centers for Sale
Perfection Global’s inventory of used vertical machining centers (VMCs) gives you access to proven production equipment without the long lead times of new machines. We stock late-model and legacy VMCs from builders you know—Haas, Mazak, Okuma, Makino, DMG Mori, Doosan, and more. Every unit found at our Elk Grove Village, IL, showroom can be inspected under power, so you can verify spindle health, axis accuracy, and control performance before you buy.
What Is a Vertical Machining Center?
A VMC is a CNC milling machine with the spindle oriented vertically. The design excels at high-speed contouring, pocketing, drilling, and tapping across industries ranging from aerospace and medical to mold and die work. Modern VMCs can run 3-axis, 4-axis (with a rotary table), or full 5-axis cycles, letting you finish complex parts in fewer setups.
Key Specifications That Drive VMC Productivity
Spindle Taper & Speed
Look at the taper first—CAT40/Bt40 for light to medium cuts, CAT50/BT50 for heavier metal removal. Match taper size with maximum rpm (typically 8,000 – 24,000 rpm). The right combination delivers the torque or surface footage your material requires.
Axis Configuration
Standard VMCs run X, Y, Z travels from 20 in. up to 120 in. Adding a fourth or fifth axis (trunnion, tilting head, or rotary table) opens simultaneous machining, shortened cycle times, and true 5-sided part access.
CNC Control Platform
Familiar interfaces—Fanuc, Haas, Mazatrol, OSP, Heidenhain—speed up setup and integration with existing CAM posts. Check for high-speed machining options, data-server memory, and probing macros that cut prove-out time.
Tool Magazine / ATC
Carousel and swing-arm changers range from 20 to 120 tools. A fast automatic tool changer reduces idle time and supports lights-out runs with varied tooling.
Work Envelope & Table Capacity
Verify table size, maximum load, and chip-to-chip clearance to be sure the machine can support your largest fixtures while still reaching every machining feature.
