Used Wenzel Measuring Machines for Sale 10


Wenzel of Wiesthal builds coordinate measuring machines around granite: LH series bridge CMMs (LH 54, LH 65, LH 87, LH 108 and larger) with granite guideways on all axes, XO shop-floor machines, and gantry systems for large parts, typically carrying Renishaw probing and WM-Quartis or third-party software.

Used Wenzel CMMs equip quality departments across manufacturing. Exapro listings vary by measuring range, controller, probe system, and software. Compare specifications and submit an enquiry through the listing page on Exapro to contact the seller.

Wenzel's granite construction is the used buyer's friend: guideways ground from the same stone as the table move consistently across decades, without the wear mechanisms of composite structures, which means a fifteen-year-old LH 65 recalibrated and fitted with current probing measures like the machine it was, and the German family firm's continued independence keeps parts and service flowing to old serials. That combination, with durable mechanics and living support, positions used Wenzel machines as the value path into serious metrology against the market leaders' pricing.

The purchase decomposes into mechanics, electronics, and software, priced separately. The granite mechanics rarely fail. Controllers and drives date the machine technologically, with retrofit paths (Wenzel or third-party) available and sometimes already applied, and probing systems, whether Renishaw PH10 heads, SP25 scanning, or touch-trigger setups, carry transferable value on their own. Software licences decide usability, since WM-Quartis or the widespread third-party packages must transfer or be relicensed, a cost that belongs in negotiations explicitly. Against used Zeiss machines, the accuracy-class benchmark, Wenzel trades meaningfully lower for overlapping capability, and against used Hexagon/DEA equipment at parity, with calibration provenance the tiebreaker.

Buying a used Wenzel measuring machines: what to check

Demand current calibration evidence: a recent ISO 10360 verification certificate, or budget one immediately, since the machine's entire purpose lives in those numbers, and pre-purchase verification by an accredited service is money well spent on larger machines. Check air bearing condition through smooth axis travel with the compressor specification confirmed.

Verify controller generation and spare availability, test the probe head through articulation and qualification cycles, and inventory styli and extensions. Confirm software licence transfer in writing with dongles and documentation, review the machine's environment history, with temperature-controlled rooms preserving accuracy, and plan professional dismantling and foundation-levelled reinstallation with recalibration, the unavoidable final cost.
