Used OKK PCV-55: Sell or Buy at Auction
OKK, founded as Osaka Kiko, is a Japanese machine tool builder known for heavy, box-way vertical and horizontal machining centers. It never reached the North American installed base of Haas or Mazak, but shops that run OKKs buy them again for the same reason: the castings and box ways hold up under heavy roughing and interrupted cuts. Most OKK machines on the used market carry Fanuc controls, which widens the pool of buyers willing to bid on one.
The OKK PCV-55 is a box-way vertical machining center built for heavier metal removal than OKK's CAT40 VM and VP machines, using a CT50 spindle taper, a 30/20 HP motor, and spindle speeds from 20 to 10,000 RPM. Travels run about 40 by 22 by 20 inches on a 48 by 22 inch table rated for 1,500 pounds, with a 20-station tool changer. That combination of box-way rigidity and CT50 torque suits die and mold shops doing harder, deeper cuts in tool steel, not just finishing passes. Sellers benefit from a buyer pool specifically hunting box-way, CT50-class machines, sourced through KD Auctions' 500,000+ industry contacts.
Buying a Used PCV-55
Die and mold shops, heavy job shops, energy and aerospace component machining operations, and production shops that value rigidity over rapid traverse speed. International buyers, particularly from Asia and Mexico, are active on OKK machines at North American auctions.

OKK has a thinner buyer pool than the volume Japanese brands, so marketing reach decides the outcome more than it does on a Haas or a Mazak. Machines with a Fanuc control, documented spindle condition, and a full tooling package achieve the strongest results, and pallet-changer horizontals draw production shops that bid past the general job shop crowd.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the PCV-55 different from a CAT40 OKK VMC?
The PCV-55 uses box-way construction and a larger CT50 spindle taper, which holds heavier tooling and supports more aggressive material removal than a CAT40-taper machine like the VP-400.
How does KD Auctions determine what a PCV-55 is worth?
A free AMEA-certified appraisal reviews spindle hours, way condition, control, and included tooling to give sellers a realistic recovery estimate before the machine goes to auction.
