How Selling Your Pietro Carnaghi Works
Send the series, the table size and the control
Use the form or call with the model from the plate (an AC, AP, AS, ATF or ATT vertical lathe, a UNIMILL gantry mill or a Flexturn), the table diameter, whether it has milling and a Y-axis, the control, the serial number and the year. Photos of the plate, the ram and the tool changer help us scope it.
Your quote within 24-48 hours
We price your Pietro Carnaghi against current market data and send a cash offer, usually within 24 to 48 hours. MTE is the buyer itself, not a broker in the middle, and has been buying machines since 2012.
Rigging and freight for a big VTL, arranged
Accept the offer and we can arrange the rigging, crating, freight and pickup for the machine, its table and its accessories, however large the vertical lathe is.

Who Builds Pietro Carnaghi Machines
Pietro Carnaghi is an Italian machine tool builder, founded in 1922, with its headquarters in Villa Cortese, in the province of Milan. For over 100 years the Carnaghi and Radice families led it. In 2025 the company entered the Fives Group, an industrial engineering group, and Pietro Carnaghi now describes itself as a key pillar of Fives' High Precision Machines division. The company name in its site footer is now Fives Pietro Carnaghi S.p.A.
Pietro Carnaghi lists three branch companies: PIETRO CARNAGHI GmbH, PIETRO CARNAGHI USA Inc. and PIETRO CARNAGHI CHINA Co. Ltd. Its site names energy, aeronautics and aircraft engines, aerospace, earth-moving machinery, bearings, forging, general mechanics and oil and gas as the main sectors its machines work in.
Pietro Carnaghi's Vertical Lathes and Other Lines
Vertical lathes come first in Pietro Carnaghi's line. It builds vertical lathes with turning and milling capacity up to 5 axes, on tables from 1000 up to 4000 mm in diameter, and large vertical lathes in a heavy-duty configuration for parts up to 17 meters. On its double-column AC machines, all the linear axes run on hydrostatic bearings, according to its AC series page.
Beside the lathes it builds UNIMILL gantry milling machines with a movable portal, which it says it has made for several decades. Their linear axes are hydrostatically supported, the passage between columns can reach 14000 mm, and a UNIMILL can be fitted with a turning table. The line also includes flexible manufacturing cells (FMS) that link several machines through pallets, and the Flexturn, a multitasking vertical machining center with a vertical ram and 5-axis interpolation.
Pietro Carnaghi Series by Machine Type
Pietro Carnaghi groups its machines into named series. This is how its own product menu sorts them:
| Series | Machine type |
|---|---|
| ATF, ATT | Vertical lathes |
| AC (single-column and double-column) | Vertical lathes; Pietro Carnaghi's page title gives the double-column AC as mm 3600-6500 |
| AS (single-column), AP (double-column) | Large vertical lathes |
| UNIMILL | Gantry milling machines with a movable portal |
| Flexturn | Multitasking vertical machining centers |
| FMS | Flexible manufacturing cells linking several machines |
From the product menu on pietrocarnaghi.it and an archived copy of its AC double-column page; the menu does not list the AY series some older machines carry.
The Pietro Carnaghi Models We See
The Pietro Carnaghi machines listed on this page are mostly vertical lathes from the series Pietro Carnaghi still lists: AC machines such as the AC20TM and AC35T, AP machines such as the AP140TMY, ATF machines such as the ATF10 and ATF14, the AS65T, and ATT models. A Flexturn and a UNIMILL gantry mill are listed too, along with AY machines, a series name that is not on Pietro Carnaghi's current product menu.
Several of these listings give only the series letters, with no size, which is why we ask for the full designation from the plate and the table diameter before we quote.
What Decides the Offer on a Used Pietro Carnaghi VTL
A Pietro Carnaghi vertical lathe is priced on its size and what it can do. The series tells us the frame: Pietro Carnaghi builds the AC in single-column and double-column form, the AS as a single-column and the AP as a double-column large vertical lathe, and the ATF and ATT as vertical lathes. The table diameter and the turning height set the size of part it can take. Milling capacity matters next, because a machine that turns and mills on up to 5 axes does work a turning-only lathe cannot.
Then condition and the control. Pietro Carnaghi offers in-depth assessments of wear on its machines and restores geometric tolerances as part of a retrofit, so a machine with a record of that work, or of a control update, is worth more than one without. Tell us about the milling heads, tool changer and any spare parts that come with it, because on a machine this size they are a large part of the value.
Pietro Carnaghi Service, or Selling Outright
Pietro Carnaghi supports its machines after the sale, in and out of warranty. Its service department offers remote diagnosis that shows a machine's operator panel on a PC in its after-sales office, spare parts procurement and shipment worldwide, preventive maintenance programs, operator and maintenance training, relocation of its machines, and retrofits that run from a wear assessment to mechanical, electrical and software remakes.
For a VTL you plan to keep running, that service is the right call. For one you want off the floor, whether it is idle after a contract ended or replaced by a newer machine, we buy it outright.

We had a deadline for our asset removal, and they removed everything safely and finished ahead of schedule. The whole process was seamless and stress-free.
These guys made the whole process so easy. I got paid fast, and they picked up the equipment right on time.
Common questions
Do you buy used Pietro Carnaghi VTLs?
Yes. Most of the Pietro Carnaghi machines in our listings are vertical lathes: AC, AP, AS, ATF and ATT models such as the AC20TM, AP140TMY and ATF14. Have the table diameter, the maximum turning height and swing, the ram size, the tool changer and head magazine, and the Siemens control version ready.
Do you buy Pietro Carnaghi machines other than vertical lathes?
Yes. Beside the vertical lathes, our Pietro Carnaghi listings include a UNIMILL gantry mill and a Flexturn. We quote those on their travels, the heads and spindles that come with them, the control and the year, and a few photos of the machine and its plate are enough to start.
Who owns Pietro Carnaghi now?
Pietro Carnaghi was founded in 1922 and led for over 100 years by the Carnaghi and Radice families. In 2025 it entered the Fives Group, and its own site now describes it as a key pillar of Fives' High Precision Machines division, with Fives Pietro Carnaghi S.p.A. as the company name in its footer. The change of owner does not change how we quote a used Pietro Carnaghi: we price it on its series, its table size, whether it mills as well as turns, and its condition.
Where is Pietro Carnaghi based?
Pietro Carnaghi lists its headquarters at Villa Cortese, in the province of Milan, Italy. Its site names three branch companies beside it: PIETRO CARNAGHI GmbH, PIETRO CARNAGHI USA Inc. and PIETRO CARNAGHI CHINA Co. Ltd. However far your machine has traveled from Villa Cortese, we quote it the same way: send the series, the table diameter and the serial number from the plate, and tell us which control it runs.
Does Pietro Carnaghi have a US company?
Yes. Pietro Carnaghi's own site lists PIETRO CARNAGHI USA Inc. among its branch companies. The builder's after-sales service covers machines in and out of warranty, remote diagnosis that shows the machine's operator panel on a PC in its service office, spare parts shipped worldwide, relocation of its machines and retrofits that include restoring geometric tolerances. That is the route for a vertical lathe you plan to keep running. For a Pietro Carnaghi you want off the floor, we buy it as it sits.
Thinking about selling Pietro Carnaghi Machines?
A Pietro Carnaghi vertical lathe is a large machine configured for the shop that bought it, so our quote starts with the series on the plate, the table diameter and whether it mills as well as turns. Send those, the control, the serial number and a few photos, and Jason Puuri will come back with a cash offer for your Pietro Carnaghi. Call 517-514-5190 or use the form on this page.
