Used Takumi V15 Vertical Machining Center

Author:JINYI           Date:2026-06-23

Used Takumi V15 Vertical Machining Center The Takumi V15 is a heavy-duty vertical machining center manufactured by the Taiwanese machine tool builder Jiangze Machinery. This specific unit, stock #812399, is a 2007 model currently located in China, and is available for immediate inspection. Equipped with a FANUC 21i-MB control, a 24-tool magazine, and a BT50 gear-driven spindle, it delivers a generous work envelope of 1600 × 700 × 650 mm (X×Y×Z). For shops that regularly machine medium to large parts—mold bases, structural weldments, automotive subframes, or heavy fixture plates—the V15 brings table capacity and spindle torque that many smaller, modern VMCs simply cannot match. This page details the machine's specifications, its suitability across multiple industries, and what a buyer should evaluate before purchase, while confirming that this pre-owned Jiangze V15 is in stock and ready for a hands-on inspection.

Stock Status and Procurement Value

Stock #812399 is a single pre-owned Takumi V15 held at a facility. The machine has not been sold into a new production environment; it is available on a first-inquiry basis. For a buyer who needs a large-frame VMC without the lead time and capital expenditure of a new machine, this unit represents a short-lead-time opportunity. While the machine is 18 years old, its core design—a heavily ribbed cast iron structure, gear-driven BT50 spindle, and FANUC 21i-MB control—remains well understood and widely supported.

From a market standpoint, Taiwan-built vertical machining centers of this size and spindle class rarely sit idle for long, particularly when paired with a BT50 interface suited to heavy cutting in steel and iron. The stock is positioned as an immediate purchase option, with inspection open to serious buyers. Those who move quickly often secure capable used capacity at a fraction of new-machine cost.

Key Specifications and Production Readiness

X/Y/Z TRAVEL: 1600 × 700 × 650 mm
TABLE SIZE: 1600 × 760 mm
TABLE LOAD:~1500 kg
SPINDLE TAPER: BT50
SPINDLE SPEED: 6000 rpm (gear-driven)
SPINDLE POWER: 15 / 18.5 kW
TOOL MAGAZINE: 24 tools, BT50
CNC CONTROL: FANUC 21i-MB

Work envelope and table capacity. The 1600 mm X-axis allows the machine to handle parts up to roughly 1500 mm long without repositioning—ideal for long structural beams, mold bases, or multiple fixtures staged along the table. A table load rating of 1500 kg means it can carry heavy single parts or densely packed pallets for batch production, improving spindle utilization per setup.

Gear-driven BT50 spindle. Unlike belt-driven or direct-drive spindles that typically prioritize speed over torque, the gear-driven BT50 spindle delivers high torque at lower rpms—critical for steel milling, large-diameter drilling, and cutting tough materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, or cast iron. The 6000 rpm top speed is moderate by today's high-speed machining standards, but it aligns well with shop environments where material removal rate and tool life in heavy cuts carry more weight than rapid contouring. With 15 kW continuous and 18.5 kW peak power, the spindle can drive indexable cutters and large end mills without stalling.

Tool magazine and control. A 24-station BT50 magazine covers the majority of everyday machining operations—facing, roughing, semi-finishing, drilling, rigid tapping, and chamfering—without constant operator intervention. The FANUC 21i-MB control is reliable, well-documented, and widely taught. It supports macro B programming, AI contour control, and rigid tapping, and service parts remain available through a broad supply network. For a used machine, this reduces the risk of control-related downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the used Takumi V15 Vertical Machining Center still in stock?

Yes, stock #812399 is currently available and located in China. It has not been sold and remains open for inspection by serious buyers.

Can I inspect the machine before purchase?

Inspection is encouraged. The machine is held at a facility that can accommodate site visits, and buyers are welcome to bring their own metrology equipment for a thorough evaluation. A power-on demonstration can often be arranged to verify control, spindle, and axis movement.

What kind of production is the Takumi V15 best suited for?

The V15 excels at machining medium to large ferrous and non-ferrous parts across automotive, aerospace, mold making, and general fabrication. Its gear-driven BT50 spindle makes it ideal for high-material-removal-rate operations in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.

How does the FANUC 21i-MB control affect daily operation?

The 21i-MB is a widely taught and supported CNC. Operators with standard FANUC programming skills will adapt quickly. It supports G-code, rigid tapping, and macro B, and replacement hardware remains available through a broad supply chain.

Does a 2007 machine still make sense for a modern workshop?

Yes—provided condition is verified during inspection. The large work envelope and BT50 torque are capabilities that are expensive to replicate in new equipment. Many shops intentionally source older, rigid VMCs for heavy cutting roles that newer, lighter machines cannot handle as reliably.
