Frequently Asked Questions about used UNION
What is a UNION boring mill and what is it used for?
UNION is a long-established German brand of horizontal boring and milling machines, above all table-type boring mills for large, heavy workpieces. They are used for boring, facing, thread cutting and slotting on big components in mechanical engineering, mould making and energy technology. Typical features include a travelling spindle head, a rotary table and either cross-table or floor-type design.
How do I choose the right used UNION boring machine?
Key criteria are the maximum workpiece dimensions and weight, spindle diameter, travel ranges and whether you work conventionally or with CNC control. Equipment such as a rotary table, coolant system, tool holders and available documentation also determines whether the machine suits your work. Asset-Trade matches these points against your machining tasks and suggests suitable machines, and an on-site inspection with demonstration can be arranged.
What does a used UNION boring mill cost?
The price depends on size, year of construction, control, equipment and condition, so we quote concrete figures only after inspecting the individual machine. Used UNION machines typically sell for 40 to 70 percent less than comparable new machines. A free machine appraisal from Asset-Trade helps you judge whether an offered boring mill is priced reasonably.
How does Asset-Trade check the condition of a used UNION machine?
Every machine goes through a multi-stage inspection with functional tests covering spindle accuracy, guideways, gearbox, feeds and control system. On request we arrange an on-site inspection and demonstration so you can see the UNION machine under real machining conditions. A dedicated project manager also guides you through the entire 7-step purchase process.
Does Asset-Trade also ship UNION machines abroad?
Yes, Asset-Trade ships used UNION machines worldwide and handles the export formalities, including customs and shipping documents. Loading, transport and scheduling are coordinated by a dedicated project manager so the boring mill arrives safely at its destination. Dismantling and packing of heavy machines can be organised as well.
What typical mistakes should buyers avoid when purchasing a used UNION boring mill?
Common mistakes include buying without an inspection, overlooking wear on guideways and spindle, missing documentation for the control system, and underestimating transport costs. It is also worth checking whether spare parts and tool holders are available for the specific series. If a UNION boring mill does not match your dimensions or equipment requirements, smaller table-type boring mills, floor-type machines or modern CNC boring centres are sensible alternatives, and Asset-Trade compares such options as part of the free machine appraisal.
