The Mazak UN-600/30V is a compact, high-speed vertical machining center designed specifically for high-volume production environments, particularly in the automotive sector. It belongs to Mazak’s UN (Ultra-Narrow) series, which is engineered to maximize productivity per unit of floor space by significantly reducing machine width while maintaining full machining capability.
The machine features a BT30 spindle with speeds up to 20,000 RPM and rapid acceleration (reaching top speed in under 0.5 seconds), making it ideal for high-speed machining of small to medium-sized components. It uses an innovative axis configuration where the X-axis movement is achieved through interpolation of the Y-axis and a rotary C-axis, allowing for a much narrower footprint compared to traditional vertical machining centers.
The UN-600/30V typically includes a 20-tool automatic tool changer, high-speed feed rates (up to 60 m/min), and advanced Fanuc 32i CNC control for efficient programming and operation. With a pallet size of approximately 400 × 400 mm and workpiece capacity up to around 600 mm diameter, it is optimized for compact parts production.
Overall, the UN-600/30V is designed for high-speed, high-efficiency manufacturing, offering excellent productivity, automation compatibility, and minimal floor space usage.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK UN-600/30V
Buying a used Mazak UN-600/30V is a strategic decision for manufacturers focused on high-volume production with limited floor space. These machines are specifically designed for automation and mass production, making them highly valuable even in the used market. Their compact footprint allows multiple machines to be installed in a line or cell, increasing output without requiring significant facility expansion.
One of the biggest advantages is speed and productivity. With a 20,000 RPM spindle, rapid acceleration, and high feed rates, the machine is optimized for short cycle times and high throughput, particularly in aluminum and light steel applications. This makes it ideal for automotive and precision component manufacturing.
Another key benefit is automation compatibility. The UN series is designed to integrate easily with robotic loading systems, allowing multiple machines to be operated by a single robot, which significantly reduces labor costs and increases efficiency.
From a cost perspective, used machines typically offer 40–70% savings compared to new units. Machines with moderate cutting hours (8,000–18,000 hours) generally provide the best value. However, cutting time is critical—machines with high hours (20,000+) may require spindle or axis maintenance due to high-speed operation. A well-maintained, low-hour machine can still deliver excellent performance and strong ROI.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK UN-600/30VCOST?
The cost of a used Mazak UN-600/30V varies depending on manufacturing year, condition, configuration, and most importantly, cutting hours and production usage. As a high-speed, automation-focused machining center, it is priced based on productivity rather than size.
Machines manufactured before 2000 or early-generation equivalents typically range from $15,000 to $40,000. These machines often have high cutting hours (20,000–35,000+) due to use in mass production environments and may require refurbishment, particularly in spindle assemblies and high-speed components.
Models from 2000–2010 generally fall within the $40,000 to $90,000 range. This segment offers the best value, especially for machines with 10,000–20,000 cutting hours and good maintenance history. Machines integrated with automation systems or upgraded controls tend to command higher prices.
Newer machines from 2010–2025 typically range from $90,000 to $180,000+, depending on condition, features, and usage. Low-hour machines (under 10,000 cutting hours), particularly those used in lighter materials like aluminum, can achieve premium pricing due to reduced wear on high-speed components.
Ultimately, cutting time is more important than age. A heavily used high-speed machine may have more wear than an older, lightly used one, making spindle condition, maintenance records, and automation components critical factors in determining true value.
