Valiani CMC for sale in Ireland

Post by A Few More Words »

We have just taken delivery of our new Valiani Maximus 160 , so now want to move on our Valiani Mat Pro 120. We have had it from new in 2008 and its still going strong. So far, it was defnitely the best purchase we have ever made and it has played a vital role for us over the past 14 years. Our main reason for investing in a new machine now is because we have had such good service over the years from this one and as we are doing larger pieces more frequently, we wanted one with the larger bed to take jumbo mount boards and this new model comes with a vacuum bed ,V Studio and a couple more advancements.



The Valiani Mat Pro 120 is in everyday use and can be demonstrated , as required. We have been using Arqadia mountboard , size 815 x 1120mm.
It comes complete with the regular Green Head (40 deg bevel cut) , The Yellow Head (90 degree) , The Blue Head (for bevels inup to 3.5mm board ) and the Pen Head

It is running the orignal FMD software on a windows XP desktop PC (also included)



Can be collected @ € 5250 and is ready to work !
We are happy to give a days training on it here before it is collected.

(However it should be noted that while we are using this machine , its not exactly perfect ! ......normal cuts are all Ok but intricate cuts like lettering and V grooves etc are not good enough anymore .....it just needs a service to restore its full capability.

We have discussed with the engineer whats possible with this CMC to improve it......and to get the best from it over the next 10 years, it is advised to

Give a full service to include new bearings , belts etc
Upgrade operating software to V Studio ( will require new PC on Windows 10 )
Estimate cost of this improvement is approx 2000.
We can put the new owner in contact with the engineer , if required
This could be done now, so the new owner would need to train only on the V Studio software and would benefit from the machine's full capability from the beginning.....or the CMC could be used as it is now and the improvements could be done at a later stage.



As we are located in Ireland, this will suit someone in Ireland & Northern Ireland and is a great opportunity for someone who knows they need to move up from their manual cutter.

Thanks
Tom

After just investing in our new CMC, I can confirm that these machines are probably the best investment any framing business can make. In fact there is no substitute for a good machine in a framing business to greatly improve your efficiency and work output. As framers the main thing we sell is TIME so anything that improves a framers use of time will pay dividends everyday. In the case of a CMC , a framers time is so well utelised , with output increased, and quality consistently improved.
Over the years , I have seen many studies regarding how many mounts you would need to be cutting to justify moving from a manual cutter to a CMC, and when you view that you should consider the investment over at least your next 10 years work....the number of mounts per week or month will be a lot smaller than most people believe,
Investing in this CMC , which will cost less than 1 coffee per day over that time and looking at what it could do for any developing framing business , it really is a simple business decision.
