Help 5 axis purchase

[Pedro-s]

Hello.

Good community, I read this forum for long time, but I never started a new thread.

We are looking to buy a little and old 5 axis machining center.

Because the space in the workshop, we can only buy the smaller models of some brands. We are looking for around 2000-2002 models of this machines:

Mikron UCP600

DMG DMU 50 (V or Evo)

About DMU I can't find information about differences of the models 50v 50evo 50t... Can you help me with this point?

I don't care the control, because I worked with Heidenhain and fanuc and learn other control is not a problem for me.

If you know other 5 axis machine with similar dimensions, please tell.

What do you think about these 2 CNC? Anyone have experience with these machines?

We have a Mikron UCP1500 that's still running good after 15 years in production. It also depends where you're based. Based in Switzerland, we still get good support from Mikron but that would maybe be different in Asia or North America.

I don't have direct experience but I would think the Mikron would be a better machine.

Possibly look if Matsuura is a suitable option.

I am located in Spain, then, I think the technical service will be similar

Thank you for your answers.

Matsuura I think is not usual in Europe because there are only a few for sale and they are a big machines.

Anyone have more experience with these machines?

Or anyone knows the difference between DMU 50v and 50evo?

I think the evo has the nutating table.
