What to Look for When Buying a Used Anderson or Giben
Anderson CNC routers and Giben panel processing machines are built for production environments. Here is what to inspect on used units.
On CNC routers, check spindle, gantry, and drives. Measure spindle runout across the full RPM range. On moving gantry models, check rail straightness and rack-and-pinion condition. Verify axis drives move smoothly without backlash. Cycle the ATC through every position. On HSK spindles, verify the taper for wear. Run a test cut and check dimensional accuracy and edge quality.
On 5-axis machines, verify the rotary axes. Test B and C axis rotation for smooth, accurate positioning. Check for play in the rotary head. Run a 5-axis test program and verify surface finish on a contoured part.
On panel saws and edge banders, test cutting and bonding quality. On Giben panel saws, verify blade condition, scoring unit alignment, and fence accuracy. Run test cuts and measure squareness and chip-free edge quality. On edge banders, test glue application, trimming units, and edge adhesion. Check conveyor belt tracking and roller condition.
Moving Gantry CNC Routers (3 & 4-Axis)
Selexx Series
The Selexx is Anderson's proven production nesting router with cast iron gantry, HSK electro-spindle, 8-position ATC, multi-spindle boring head, and automatic tool touch-off. Available in 4x8, 5x10, and 5x12 ft table sizes with automatic vacuum zone selection and pop-up pin positioning. The Selexx Half Line adds material push-off for higher throughput. This is the most commonly traded Anderson router on the used market.
Stratos & Spectrum Series
The Stratos series (Stratos, Stratos Pro XL, Stratos SUP & Nest) delivers high-rigidity moving gantry machining with steel weldments and castings, precision servo systems, and optional C-axis for 4-axis work. Available in a wide variety of table formats and sizes. The Spectrum M-Series provides industrial-grade routing in a compact footprint with Fanuc controls, sharing key components with Anderson's larger machines. The Spectra series focuses on high-performance routing for demanding applications.
Moving Table CNC Routers (3 & 4-Axis)
The Exxact and Exxact Duo moving table centers deliver high-precision routing where the workpiece moves for optimal rigidity on heavier materials. The Andimaxx and Exxcel provide additional moving table options. These machines serve aerospace, composites, and architectural applications where workpiece weight demands a moving table design.
5-Axis CNC Machining Centers
The Axxiom and Astrixx are Anderson's 5-axis platforms for complex contoured surfaces in composites, wood, foam, and advanced materials. The Maxxis and MASS 5-Axis handle larger workpieces. The Stratos MOVE combines the Stratos gantry with full 5-axis capability. These machines serve aerospace, architectural, marine, and automotive applications.
Point-to-Point & Giben Panel Processing
The PTP Series handles traditional point-to-point boring, routing, grooving, and dowel insertion for cabinet and furniture manufacturing. Giben CNC panel saws (including the Matic SP) deliver precision sizing of sheet goods. Giben edge banders apply and finish edges on panel stock. Together, the Anderson PTP and Giben sizing and edge divisions provide a complete workflow for panel-based furniture and cabinetry production.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Anderson & Giben Machines
Are used Anderson CNC routers reliable?
Yes. Anderson Group has manufactured CNC routers since 1985 and is a global leader in CNC processing technology. ANDI routers are proven in high-production manufacturing across woodworking, aerospace, composites, and plastics. All machines use Fanuc controls and high-quality components including self-developed spindle motors and precision drive systems.
What is the difference between Anderson and Giben?
Anderson Group (Taiwan, founded 1972) is the parent company specializing in CNC routers and machining centers. Giben America (founded 1971) was a U.S.-based provider of panel saws and edge banders that Anderson acquired in 2014. Used machines may carry the Anderson, ANDI, or Giben name depending on the product line and year of manufacture.
What CNC controls do Anderson machines use?
Anderson CNC routers and machining centers use Fanuc controls as standard across the product line. This includes Fanuc servo drives and electronics on all current and recent models. The Fanuc platform provides proven reliability, global parts availability, and broad operator familiarity.
What should I inspect before buying a used Anderson or Giben?
On CNC routers, check spindle runout, gantry/rail straightness, drive accuracy, ATC function, and vacuum table condition. On 5-axis machines, verify rotary axis accuracy. On panel saws, check blade condition and cut squareness. On edge banders, test glue application and trim quality. On all machines, verify Fanuc control function.
What Anderson models hold their value best?
Selexx nesting routers hold strong values for their production capability. Stratos Pro and Stratos XL machines maintain demand for composites and architectural work. Axxiom and Maxxis 5-axis centers command premiums for aerospace applications. Giben CNC panel saws hold steady demand for panel processing. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.
What industries use Anderson and Giben machines?
Anderson CNC routers serve woodworking, cabinetry and furniture, aerospace (composite tooling and components), automotive, marine, architectural millwork, plastics, advanced materials, and panel processing. Giben panel saws and edge banders serve furniture, cabinetry, and panel-based manufacturing.
