Frequently Asked Questions about used SINUMERIK 820
What is a SINUMERIK 820 and what is it used for?
The SINUMERIK 820 is a Siemens CNC control from an older control generation that was mainly used on lathes and milling machines. It handles path control, program processing and the connection of drives and peripherals. Many workshops keep this control on hand as a spare for existing machines, because replacing the entire control system is often uneconomical.
Is a used SINUMERIK 820 still worth using today?
Whether it is worth using depends on the condition of the control, the availability of matching peripherals and the spare parts situation. For existing machines with sound mechanics, a used SINUMERIK 820 is often the most economical option because it can be made available at short notice. Asset-Trade inspects such components as part of a multi-stage inspection with functional tests so that the control matches your machine.
What should I look out for when buying a used SINUMERIK 820?
The decisive factors are the exact version and scope of supply – which modules, software versions, operator panels and documentation are included – as well as compatibility with the existing machine and its drives. The condition of the electronics and whether the control could be tested while installed are equally important. At Asset-Trade a dedicated project manager guides you through the 7-step purchase process and clarifies technical fit questions.
How much does a used SINUMERIK 820 cost?
The price depends on the version, scope of supply, condition and market availability of the individual components, so no flat-rate figures can be given. Used controls typically cost 40 to 70 percent less than comparable new parts. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal and prepares an individual quote based on your requirements.
How are the condition and function of a used SINUMERIK 820 checked?
The inspection is multi-stage and covers a visual check, verification of the electronics and functional tests of the control and its associated modules. On request, an on-site inspection and demonstration is possible, where you can examine the control yourself. Documented inspection results give you planning certainty for integration into your machine.
What alternatives to the SINUMERIK 820 are there and which mistakes should I avoid?
Alternatives include other used SINUMERIK series, third-party controls or – with the appropriate budget – a retrofit with a modern control. Common mistakes are buying without checking compatibility, an incomplete scope of supply without software and documentation, and underestimating the adaptation of the machine peripherals. Asset-Trade supports the selection, organises worldwide shipping and export and accompanies the delivery to its destination.
