Frequently Asked Questions about used MITUTOYO
What are used Mitutoyo measuring machines used for?
Mitutoyo is a Japanese manufacturer of precision measuring equipment, and used coordinate measuring machines, calipers, micrometers and measuring stands are mainly used in quality assurance, first-article inspection and production metrology. They check dimensions and form and position tolerances on metal, plastic and other workpieces. For many shops a used unit is the way to take on measuring tasks without investing in a full new installation.
What should I look for when buying a used Mitutoyo measuring machine?
Key points are measuring range, probe or sensor system, controller, and whether the measuring software and its licence are included. Service history, available calibration documents and the future availability of spare parts and accessories matter just as much. Asset-Trade inspects machines in several stages with functional tests and can arrange an on-site inspection and demonstration.
How much cheaper is a used Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machine compared to a new one?
Used Mitutoyo measuring equipment typically costs 40 to 70 percent less than comparable new machines, and the actual figure depends on model, measuring volume, year of construction, sensor package and software. Asset-Trade provides a free machine appraisal and quotes a price only after the machine has been checked. A dedicated project manager stays with the enquiry from first assessment through to the offer.
How is the condition of a used Mitutoyo measuring machine checked?
Asset-Trade works with a multi-stage inspection that includes functional tests on the controller and measuring system. Buyers can examine the machine themselves during an on-site inspection and demonstration and run measurements with their own test parts. Inspection findings and available documentation are shared so the decision is based on the machine's actual condition.
Does Asset-Trade ship used Mitutoyo measuring machines worldwide?
Yes, Asset-Trade handles worldwide shipping and export, including the usual export documents and formalities. A purchase follows a 7-step process from enquiry and inspection through quotation to loading and delivery. A dedicated project manager coordinates scheduling, packing and transport.
What are the alternatives to a used Mitutoyo measuring machine and what mistakes should I avoid?
Alternatives include comparable machines from other Japanese or European manufacturers, or a smaller new unit if the measuring range you need is modest. Common mistakes are skipping functional tests, leaving software and licence questions unclear, and not checking whether probe heads and accessories can still be sourced. A free machine appraisal and an on-site inspection before buying reduce that risk considerably.
