The Mazak UN-600/30H is a compact, high-speed horizontal machining center specifically designed for mass production of small to medium-sized components, particularly in the automotive industry. Part of Mazak’s “Ultra Narrow” (UN) series, the machine is engineered to maximize productivity per unit of floor space by offering a significantly reduced footprint compared to conventional horizontal machining centers.
The machine features a 400 mm × 400 mm pallet and can handle workpieces up to approximately 600 mm in diameter and 500 mm in height. It is equipped with a BT30 spindle capable of speeds up to 20,000 RPM, with rapid acceleration reaching full speed in under a second, enabling high-speed machining and reduced cycle times.
A unique design combines table and column movement for the X-axis, allowing a narrower machine width while maintaining full machining capability. The UN-600/30H also features fast feed rates, a 20–30 tool automatic tool changer, and Fanuc 32i CNC control for efficient programming and operation.
Its automation-friendly design allows multiple machines to be arranged in production cells and serviced by a single robot, making it ideal for high-volume, lights-out manufacturing environments requiring speed, efficiency, and consistent output.

WHY BUY USED MAZAK UN-600/30H
Buying a used Mazak UN-600/30H is a smart choice for manufacturers focused on high-volume production with limited floor space. Its ultra-compact design allows multiple machines to be installed in a single production line, significantly increasing output per square meter. This makes it especially valuable in automotive and precision component manufacturing environments where efficiency and throughput are critical.
Machines built before 2000 are typically available at lower prices but are less common in this specific model range, as the UN series is relatively modern. Comparable older compact machining centers may fall into this category and are best suited for low cutting-time applications, often with higher spindle hours and outdated controls.
Machines from 2000 to 2010 offer a good balance between cost and capability. These units typically feature reliable CNC systems, moderate cutting hours, and stable performance, making them suitable for consistent production without requiring the latest technology.
Machines from 2010 onward are designed for high cutting-time environments and continuous production. These machines are often used in automated cells running multiple shifts, where uptime, speed, and repeatability are essential. With high-speed spindles and automation compatibility, newer used UN-600/30H machines deliver excellent productivity and long-term value for manufacturers scaling operations.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MAZAK UN-600/30HCOST?
The cost of a used Mazak UN-600/30H depends on factors such as manufacturing year, spindle hours, condition, and level of automation integration. As a specialized high-speed production machine, its pricing reflects its efficiency and compact design advantages.
Machines equivalent to pre-2000 compact machining centers typically range from $20,000 to $60,000. These machines often have high cutting hours and older CNC systems, making them suitable for basic machining or secondary production tasks rather than high-speed continuous use.
Machines built between 2000 and 2010 generally fall within the $60,000 to $140,000 range. These units typically include improved controls, moderate cutting hours, and reliable performance, making them a cost-effective choice for mid-level production environments.
Machines from 2010 to 2025, including the UN-600/30H, typically range from $140,000 to $280,000 or more. Prices increase significantly for machines with low spindle hours, automation integration such as robotic loading, and high-speed production setups. These machines are designed for continuous, high-output environments and command premium pricing due to their efficiency.
Cutting time is a critical factor in pricing—machines used in high-volume production may show higher wear, while low-hour machines with strong maintenance records retain higher resale value regardless of manufacturing year.
