DMG MORI, Mazak, Okuma and Makino launched new 5-axis and mill-turn machines at JIMTOF 2026. Here is what a new generation does to used values.
Nov 7, 2026
The 33rd Japan International Machine Tool Fair, JIMTOF 2026, ran October 26 to 31 at Tokyo Big Sight. It is held every two years, and Japan's builders use it to launch the machines that reach North American dealers over the following year.
This year's launches lean hard toward 5-axis and multitasking work.
A new model changes the value of the one it replaces. Once a successor is announced, buyers of late-model used machines compare against the new spec sheet, and the outgoing generation becomes the value option in that family. The comparison is sharpest on multitasking and 5-axis machines, where a new control or a second spindle shows up plainly on paper.
Timing works the other way. A machine launched in Tokyo last week is not a machine a US shop can install this quarter, and US demand is already running hot: AMT reports January through August orders of $4.76 billion, up 36.9% on 2025. Shops that need 5-axis capacity now buy what is already on a floor in North America. That keeps late-model used machines from the previous generation in demand even as the new ones are announced.
For sellers, the window matters. The best time to sell an outgoing-generation machine is while the new model is still a brochure and the used one can ship next week.
MMI lists 29 used 5-axis machines as of October 28 ranging from a 2014 Grob G350 to a 2025 Haas UMC-500SS. Highlights include:
MMI also groups used Mazak INTEGREX machines on their own page.
