One machine encyclopedia—new and used
A new machine release is the beginning of a market record, not a separate universe. MBB connects the official launch to the machine category, technology, application, distributor and ownership requirements. As models enter service and later reach the used market, the same research spine can carry specifications, configuration questions, service context and observed market evidence.
Research what is actually new
Machine architecture
New travels, work envelopes, kinematics, spindles, structures, thermal systems and smaller footprints change what work fits and how consistently it runs.
Continue research →Automation
Robot loaders, pallet systems, tool storage and cell control change labor use, unattended time and the production system around the machine.
Continue research →Controls and software
New controls, monitoring, collision avoidance, digital work instructions and process data can matter as much as the iron.
Continue research →Process integration
Mill-turn, gear cutting, grinding, additive and inspection in or near one platform can reduce setups while increasing qualification demands.
Continue research →Additive and hybrid
New metal-additive platforms focus on repeatability, gas flow, filtration, monitoring, build handling and post-processing—not only laser count.
Continue research →Lifecycle support
Training, service, parts, repair, upgrades and data access determine whether a new platform stays productive after launch week.
Continue research →New-machine buyer questions
- Which published specifications are standard, optional or configuration-dependent?
- What application evidence supports the promised cycle, tolerance, finish or material capability?
- What automation, probing, tooling, coolant, extraction, power and foundation are required for the demonstrated result?
- Which features can be field-retrofitted, and which must be ordered with the machine?
- What is the control, software, data-export and cybersecurity lifecycle?
- Who installs, trains, services and stocks critical parts in the buyer's territory?
- What acceptance test defines successful installation?
- What is the complete production-ready cost—not only the base machine price?
Broad OEM coverage—not one country or price tier
MBB follows the established Japanese, German, American and Korean builders alongside Taiwan's dense machine-tool ecosystem. The purpose is useful comparison: architecture, controls, automation, application fit, channel support and the evidence behind each technical claim.

MBB records a release only when an official manufacturer source supports the model, status or technical claim. Specifications, availability, configuration, territory and pricing can change. Verify them directly with the OEM or its authorized channel.
Independent coverage: Machine Blue Book is not affiliated with or compensated by the manufacturers listed on these pages. Trademarks identify their owners. Links lead to official sources; inclusion is not an endorsement or availability claim.
