What to Look for When Buying a Used Junker
Verify the CBN grinding wheel, spindle, and dressing system. Junker machines are built around CBN and diamond abrasives. Confirm wheel condition, spindle runout, bearing noise, and thermal stability. On machines with dressable wheels, verify dressing system function and diamond dresser condition. On dressing-free platforms (TITAN, GRINDSTAR), confirm the CBN wheel is in spec and the wheel change mechanism operates. Test workpiece spindle (C-axis) and tailstock for clamping and concentricity.
Test the axis system, loading, and dual-station function. On JUCRANK, verify X/C-axis interpolation for non-circular grinding of pins and journals. On JUCAM, test non-circular interpolation across all cam shapes. On JUCENTER, confirm both stations operate independently and the transfer mechanism is reliable. On machines with integrated loading gantries, cycle the loader and verify blank pickup, part removal, and conveyor integration.
Check the Fanuc CNC, Junker Operator Panel, and Teleservice. Junker machines run Fanuc CNC with the Erwin Junker Operator Panel featuring pictogram-based programming. Confirm the control boots, grinding programs are accessible, and the interface is functional. On Lean Selection machines, verify simplified programming for quick changeover. Confirm Teleservice remote diagnostics and that parts are available through Erwin Junker Machinery in Elgin, Illinois.
Junker Cylindrical CBN Grinding
JUMAT Series (External Cylindrical)
The JUMAT series (JUMAT 1S, 2S, 3S, 6S and additional variants) is Junker's core external cylindrical CBN grinding platform for individual or combined operations in straight or angular plunge-cut configurations. The JUMAT 3S (Platform 3, launched 2024) delivers advances in speed, accuracy, and energy efficiency. JUMAT machines are workhorses in automotive, power generation, and general manufacturing for grinding shafts, journals, and bearing seats.
EJ Series, JUPITER & Lean Selection
The EJ series covers external cylindrical and plunge-cut grinding with an optional HSG technology package for high-speed grinding. JUPITER combines cylindrical grinding with CBN for significant productivity advantages in peerless cylindrical work. The Lean Selection is a versatile, easy-to-use grinder ideal for contract manufacturers, small suppliers, and medium companies, with CBN and diamond abrasives and minimal setup times.
Junker Crankshaft, Camshaft & Dual-Station
JUCRANK (Crankshaft Complete Machining)
The JUCRANK is the first CBN machine for complete crankshaft machining in a single clamping, covering roughing, finishing, and non-circular grinding of all bearings, mains, and pins. Extended to 4.5 meters for diesel power generation, the JUCRANK grinds with interpolation and oscillation using a single CBN wheel, eliminating multiple machines and expensive measuring equipment.
JUCAM (Camshaft & Non-Circular) & JUCENTER (Dual-Station)
The JUCAM provides CBN non-circular grinding for camshafts, cam pieces, and individual cams across all cam shapes. Bearings and flat shoulders are ground in a single clamping. The JUCENTER combines two stations under one hood for camshafts, crankshafts, or gear shafts with an integrated loading gantry. Wheelhead versions can be combined for workpiece-specific configurations.
Junker QUICKPOINT, Through-Feed & Tool Grinding
QUICKPOINT, TITAN & GRINDSTAR
The QUICKPOINT uses patented peel/point grinding where the CNC-controlled wheel follows a programmed contour with pinpoint accuracy, machining from plastic to carbide in a single clamping. The TITAN 500 delivers through-feed grinding with a wide CBN wheel for dressing-free, polish-quality finishing in continuous sequence. The GRINDSTAR replaces turning with dressing-free high-speed plunge-cut grinding for large production volumes.
FLUTEMAT, JUMAXIMAT, JUMINIMAT & ZEMA NUMERIKA
The FLUTEMAT grinds straight and spiral flutes in HSS cutting tools. The JUMAXIMAT handles complete cutting tool grinding (6 to 32 mm, HSS or carbide). The JUMINIMAT grinds small tools (1 to 8 mm) with an integrated loading system. The ZEMA NUMERIKA cylindrical grinder features hydrostatic guideways for wear-free, high-accuracy series production of shafts up to 3.7 meters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Junker Machines
Are used Junker grinding machines reliable?
Yes. Junker has built CBN high-speed grinding machines in Germany since 1962 and is the world market leader in CBN grinding. The company holds 80+ patents and has received quality awards from VW, Bosch, SAIC General Motors, and Geely. Parts and service are supported through Erwin Junker Machinery in Elgin, Illinois, with Teleservice remote diagnostics.
What is CBN high-speed grinding?
CBN (cubic boron nitride) is an extremely hard abrasive that enables grinding at high speeds with long wheel life and consistent quality. Junker pioneered CBN high-speed grinding in 1978. CBN wheels maintain form far longer than conventional abrasives, reducing dressing frequency (or eliminating it on TITAN and GRINDSTAR) and delivering superior surface finish with shorter cycle times.
What should I inspect before buying a used Junker?
Verify CBN/diamond wheel condition, grinding spindle runout and bearings, dressing system (where applicable), workpiece spindle and tailstock, axis interpolation on non-circular machines (JUCAM, JUCRANK), loading gantry on JUCENTER, Fanuc CNC and Junker Operator Panel state, Teleservice connectivity, and coolant/filtration system.
Which Junker models hold their value best?
JUMAT cylindrical grinders, JUCRANK crankshaft machines, JUCAM camshaft grinders, JUCENTER dual-station, and QUICKPOINT peel grinders hold the strongest residual values, driven by automotive and power generation demand. Call (844) 478-8181 for valuations.
