Why Buy a Preowned CMM from Hexagon Metrology?

Hexagon Metrology Preowned CMM division's goal is to take the "used" feeling out of the used CMM buying experience. We don't believe in bait-and-switch tactics, selling old software or computers, and not backing up each and every purchase with service availability, technical support, training and a warranty. We don't sell machines that we don't already own, we don't sell machines sight-unseen, and we don't pretend to be experts about machines we didn't make in the first place. That is why what you'll find on this site is an up to date inventory of clean, preowned and factory demo machines originally manufactured by Hexagon Metrology.

You Can Buy With Confidence from the OEM

Hexagon Metrology is the original equipment manufacturer of dozens of models of CMMs found on the secondary market. We make major brands such as Brown & Sharpe, Sheffield Measurement, DEA, Leitz, ROMER, Leica Geosystems and TESA. As the world's largest CMM manufacturer, a great percentage of the secondary market are our machines to begin with.

We know these machines well because we designed and built them in the first place. We are not a broker, an auction house, a used equipment clearing house, or a third party dealer, and we only sell pre-owned and demo machines on this website that we can fully support after the sale, parts, warranty, training and service.

If We're Selling It, We Own It

All the pre-owned machines available for sale are in our possession. We do not broker machines for third parties or otherwise deal in machinery we have not inspected and reconditioned ourselves. We have a team of buyers that scour the country for the best candidates for our preowned machinery business looking for the best, cleanest Brown & Sharpe, DEA, Leitz, ROMER, Sheffield and Starrett CMMs available to offer on our site.

We Don't Collect Listings, We Turn CMMs

We're not about having the longest list of machines. In fact, our list never gets all that long because our inventory turns constantly. With dozens of salespeople in the field, our used machinery list is constantly shifting because machines are bought and sold every week.

We Don't Buy (or Re-Sell) Every Machine Offered To Us

Because we don't broker machines for others, we have the liberty to inspect (and sometimes reject) machines that don't meet our standards. Sadly, not every machine out there has been cared for as well as we would like to see. We reject some of these machines as unfit candidates to carry the Hexagon Preowned banner. In extreme cases, we would rather destroy machines rather than re-circulate them to the buying public. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way we do, and we are amazed to discover machines we rejected turning up for sale elsewhere.

Know What You Are Buying

We provide a summary sheet with the specifications and details for each available machine so you know exactly what you are getting and exactly what to expect when you buy from us. Since we were the original manufacturer of many of these machines, we often have access to their service records and repair history. It's in our best interest to sell you a machine that has been properly cared for and serviced, and It's in your best interest to get all the facts about what you're purchasing. After all, you're trusting the quality of the products to make to this device.

For Buyers Outside of North America

Presently, all machines listed on this website are only sold in USA, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. We do not export preowned machines outside North America. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that not all parts of the world have sold the same makes and models historically, and may not have easy access to spare parts or the knowledge base to properly install and service every possible model we might sell in this market. Certain other Hexagon Metrology divisions worldwide also sell preowned machines. Please visit www.HexagonMetrology.com and choose your country to visit the Hexagon Metrology website for your country to see if this service is offered locally in your market.

We are always here to help, and just a phone call or email away.
