USED MAZAK FJV-100/160

The Mazak FJV-100/160 is a large double-column (gantry-style) vertical machining center designed for high-precision, high-efficiency machining of large and heavy workpieces. Built as part of Mazak’s FJV series, it is engineered to provide exceptional rigidity, accuracy, and stability during long machining cycles. The machine features a BT50 spindle with a standard speed of up to 10,000 RPM and high torque output, making it suitable for machining steel, cast iron, and aluminum components.

The FJV-100/160 offers a substantial working envelope with X/Y/Z travels of approximately 4,200 × 2,450 × 660 mm and a large table size of around 4,000 × 2,000 mm, capable of handling workpieces up to 10 tons. Its double-column structure eliminates spindle overhang, improving rigidity and ensuring consistent accuracy across the entire machining area.

The machine can be equipped with an optional angle head, allowing side-face machining and enabling 5-face machining capability in a single setup. Combined with MAZATROL CNC control and a large tool magazine (typically around 60 tools), the FJV-100/160 delivers high productivity and flexibility. Overall, it is designed for industries requiring large-part machining with high precision and reliability.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK FJV-100/160

Buying a used Mazak FJV-100/160 is a cost-effective way to acquire large-capacity machining capability without the significant investment required for a new double-column machine. These machines are built with heavy-duty construction and high-quality components, allowing them to maintain precision and performance even after years of use when properly maintained.

One of the key advantages is rigidity. The double-column design minimizes vibration and ensures consistent machining accuracy, even during heavy cutting operations. This makes the machine particularly suitable for industries such as mold and die, aerospace, and energy, where large components and tight tolerances are common.

From a financial perspective, used machines typically cost 40–70% less than new models while still offering high torque cutting and large work envelope capabilities. Machines with moderate cutting hours (10,000–20,000 hours) often provide the best balance between price and remaining operational life.

Cutting time is a critical factor in evaluating value. Machines with high hours (20,000+), especially those used in heavy steel applications, may require spindle rebuilds or guideway servicing. However, a well-maintained machine with lower cutting hours can still deliver near-new performance. With Mazak’s global service network and widely used MAZATROL control, integration and maintenance remain straightforward, making this model a strong long-term investment.

HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK FJV-100/160 COST?

The cost of a used Mazak FJV-100/160 varies based on manufacturing year, configuration, condition, and most importantly, cutting hours and application type. As a large double-column machining center, it commands higher pricing than standard vertical machining centers due to its size and capability.

Machines manufactured before 2000 typically range from $30,000 to $75,000. These machines often have very high cutting hours (20,000–40,000+) and may require refurbishment, particularly in spindle assemblies and axis systems.

Models from 2000–2010 generally fall between $75,000 and $170,000. This category offers the best value, especially for machines with 10,000–20,000 cutting hours and strong maintenance records. Machines equipped with optional angle heads for 5-face machining or upgraded controls tend to command higher prices.

Newer machines from 2010–2025 typically range from $170,000 to $350,000+, 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.

Ultimately, cutting time is more important than age. A heavily used newer machine may be less valuable than an older, well-maintained one, making inspection, spindle condition, and service history essential in determining true market value.
