Used Emco Maxxturn for Sale 1

Emco occupies a particular niche on the used turning market: machines engineered and built in Austria, sold mostly into German-speaking Europe, with strong factory support and a price position below Index or DMG Mori but above Far-East imports. The Maxxturn family is the heart of that proposition. A used Maxxturn 65 with sub-spindle and Y-axis is effectively a complete-machining cell for shafts and fittings: front and back work in one cycle, milled flats and cross-holes included.

Size selection follows the model number roughly by bar capacity: Maxxturn 25 and 45 for small precision components, Maxxturn 65 as the volume model, Maxxturn 95 and 110 for heavier chucking work. Controls split between Siemens Sinumerik 840D-family and Fanuc, so check which suits your programmers. Against a used DMG Mori CTX of the same size, the Maxxturn typically trades noticeably cheaper; against a used Doosan Puma it costs more but offers tighter standard accuracy and European service logic.

Buying a used Emco Maxxturn: what to check

On sub-spindle machines, verify synchronisation during part transfer with a test cycle, since transfer accuracy is the feature you are paying for. Check driven-tool holders for backlash and runout, and ask how many live tool positions are included, because additional holders are expensive. Measure turret indexing repeatability and inspect the turret coupling for crash evidence.

Run both spindles through their speed ranges, check C-axis positioning, and confirm Y-axis travel operates smoothly without unusual servo load. Review control hours, alarm logs, and whether Emco service performed major interventions; Austrian-market machines often have documented dealer service history, which adds real value. Confirm bar feeder compatibility and included steady rests or part catchers. Check counter-spindle alignment with a test bar if synchronised transfer work matters to you, since misalignment between main and sub spindle is the most common defect on used multitasking lathes.
