WHY BUY USED MORI SEIKI NTX2000/1500SZM 2018
Purchasing a used MORI SEIKI NTX2000/1500SZM 2018 allows manufacturers to acquire an advanced multi-tasking CNC turn-mill center while reducing the capital investment compared with purchasing a new machine.
Many used machines include valuable options such as:
- FANUC 31iB5 CNC control
- CELOS ERGOline Touch
- 10″ main chuck
- 8″ sub-spindle chuck
- 12,000 RPM milling spindle
- CAPTO C6 tooling
- 76-tool ATC
- 10-station secondary turret
- Y-axis
- B-axis
- Sub-spindle
- X/Y/Z linear scales
- Renishaw workpiece probe
- Automatic tool measurement
- 70-bar through-spindle coolant
- Chip conveyor
- Bar feeder
Before purchasing, buyers should inspect the main and sub-spindle condition, B-axis accuracy, Y-axis positioning, milling spindle, live tooling, turret operation, tool changer, linear scales, probing system, ballscrews, coolant system, and CNC control. Maintenance records and spindle-hour information should also be reviewed. A specific 2018 machine has been documented with a tailstock ballscrew repair requirement, illustrating why a complete mechanical inspection is important when evaluating a used machine.
HOW MUCH DOES A USED MORI SEIKI NTX2000/1500SZM 2018 COST?
The value of a used MORI SEIKI NTX2000/1500SZM 2018 depends on spindle hours, machine condition, B-axis accuracy, sub-spindle condition, tooling package, installed options, and maintenance history.
Machines equipped with 76-tool ATC, 70-bar through-spindle coolant, Renishaw probing, linear scales, CAPTO C6 tooling, bar feeder, chip conveyor, and CELOS/FANUC control generally command higher resale values than machines with fewer options.
Current used-market listings confirm that the 2018 model remains a premium multi-tasking machine. A documented 2018 machine is listed with a 76-position ATC, 10-station turret, 12,000 RPM milling spindle, FANUC 31iB5/CELOS control, 70-bar coolant, Renishaw probing, and a 15,320 kg machine weight, demonstrating the level of equipment that can significantly affect the value of an individual machine.
Because used NTX2000/1500SZM machines can differ substantially in tooling, automation, hours, condition, and installed options, there is no single reliable market price for every 2018 machine. Buyers should evaluate the exact machine configuration, hours, maintenance history, spindle condition, included tooling, and required repairs before determining its value.
