This Alzmetall GS600 E/5 is a five-axis CNC vertical machining centre — sometimes referred to as a VMC — designed for high-precision multi-surface metal cutting in a single setup. Alzmetall is a well-established German machine tool builder with a long history of producing drilling, milling, and machining centre equipment for the metalworking and precision engineering industries.
The machine was built in 2017 and has accumulated approximately 5,800 spindle hours, which represents relatively modest use for a machining centre of this class. It is currently located in Belgium and is available as a result of a factory automation upgrade, the incoming flexible manufacturing system being incompatible with this machine — not a reflection of the machine's condition or capability.
The working envelope covers 460 mm in X, 600 mm in Y, and 400 mm in Z, and the integrated rotary table measures 400 × 400 mm with a maximum load capacity of 500 kg. The A-axis swings ±140° and the C-axis provides a full 360° of rotation, enabling complex five-sided and five-axis simultaneous machining without repositioning the workpiece. The spindle nose-to-table distance ranges from 150 mm to 550 mm, giving good clearance for a range of part sizes and fixturing arrangements.
The spindle runs to 18,000 rpm and accepts HSK-A63 toolholders, a form-locked taper interface widely used in high-speed machining for its rigidity and repeatability. The 76-position automatic tool changer provides a generous tool magazine capacity, reducing the need for manual intervention during complex or multi-operation jobs.
Control is via a Heidenhain TNC 640, a conversational and DIN/ISO-capable CNC system regarded as a benchmark in multi-axis machining centre control. The machine is also equipped with a Renishaw probing system, which supports in-process tool setting and workpiece measurement directly at the machine. The machine weighs 6,800 kg. Video footage of the machine is available from the seller.
