Extended Service Life
Thanks to our thorough refurbishment process, the service life of the machine is significantly extended, helping you reduce costs over the long term.
Retrofit / Refurbishment
Machine tools are long-life capital assets and often remain in operation well beyond their depreciation period. Machines from renowned manufacturers are frequently not replaced because they are worn out, but because newer technologies enable more efficient and cost-effective operation.
More Than 40 Years of Expertise
This is exactly where Fleckenstein comes in. Since 1984, we have specialized in the refurbishment of machine tools. Our experienced team of technicians carefully inspects and reconditions every machine – both technically and visually.
Today, we selectively purchase high-quality machines from renowned manufacturers, professionally refurbish them, and bring them up to current technical standards.
Upon request, we also take care of transportation, installation, and commissioning right through to a production-ready handover.
Our Promise
Technically Inspected and Ready for Reliable Operation
We deliver a technically inspected, fully functional machine that is ready for reliable operation.
Your Benefits
Cost-Effective. Reliable. Available Quickly.
02
Short Delivery Times
Most of our refurbished machines are already completed or close to completion. As a result, delivery times are often reduced to just a few weeks.
03
Attractive Pricing
Depending on the model, manufacturer, and scope of refurbishment, you can save up to 50 % compared to purchasing a comparable new machine.
Fleckenstein Quality Standard
Our Three Refurbishment Levels
Depending on the machine type, year of manufacture, technical condition, and your individual requirements, we offer three consecutive refurbishment levels.

Fleckenstein Trade-Fit
Every machine we offer undergoes the Fleckenstein Quality Inspection. It is dismantled, professionally cleaned, and carefully inspected. Any identified defects are repaired by our technicians. The exact refurbishment process may vary depending on the machine type and individual customer requirements.
Visual Refurbishment
- Dismantling and professional cleaning of machine components and peripheral equipment
- Repair or repainting of individual components
Inspection and Refurbishment
- General functional inspection, including peripheral equipment
- Condition assessment of axes and spindles under power
- Documented geometry inspection in accordance with the Fleckenstein standard
- Replacement of defective parts or repair of identified defects
- No preventive replacement of standard wear parts

Fleckenstein Industry-Ready
With our Industry-Ready refurbishment, the machine undergoes comprehensive visual and functional refurbishment beyond the Fleckenstein Quality Inspection. The scope of work depends on the machine type, year of manufacture, and technical condition of the equipment.
Visual Refurbishment
- Dismantling and professional cleaning of machine components and peripheral equipment
- Complete repainting using high-quality, durable two-component machine paint
Functional Refurbishment
- General functional inspection, including peripheral equipment
- Condition assessment of axes and spindles under power
- Documented geometry inspection in accordance with the Fleckenstein standard
- Replacement of defective parts or repair of identified defects
- Preventive replacement of components showing signs of wear
- Replacement of machine covers, such as roller covers, bellows, and telescopic covers

Fleckenstein Machine-Rebuild
As part of a Fleckenstein Machine-Rebuild, the machine undergoes a comprehensive, customized overhaul. Key assemblies are professionally restored, worn components are replaced, and the machine is prepared for reliable long-term operation.
The scope of the rebuild depends on the machine type, year of manufacture, and technical condition. A detailed report documenting all completed work and replaced components is prepared and remains available for review at any time.
Customized Rebuild
- Scope of work depending on machine type, year of manufacture, and technical condition
- Targeted refurbishment of key machine assemblies
- Replacement of worn or technically obsolete components
- Detailed documentation of all completed work and replaced components
Optional Additional Services
- Replacement of key mechanical components such as guideways, ball screws, and spindle bearings
- CNC control retrofit
- Replacement of internal piping and cable routing systems
- Installation of new electrical components – from wiring to control and drive systems
- Complete repainting using high-quality, durable two-component machine paint
Note: Depending on the specific machine, additional extensive work can be carried out beyond the standard scope of the Machine-Rebuild package.
REIDEN RX18
Relocating a REIDEN RX18 required far more than transporting a machine from one site to another. From the initial geometry inspection and detailed technical assessment to the coordinated dismantling, targeted refurbishment of key components, heavy haulage logistics and final recommissioning, Fleckenstein managed the complete project. The result was a fully operational machine, delivered on schedule and ready for production at its new location.
How a Retrofitted Horizontal Boring Mill Increases Productivity and Reduces Investment Costs
A professionally retrofitted horizontal boring mill can deliver the performance of modern manufacturing technology while significantly reducing investment costs. This article explains how mechanical rebuilding, a carefully selected CNC control, automation features and comprehensive machine refurbishment improve productivity, precision and sustainability when machining large and heavy components.
AXA VHC 3-XTS/50
Aus einer stark verschmutzten und technisch verschlissenen AXA VHC 3-XTS/50 entstand durch eine umfassende Modernisierung wieder ein leistungsstarkes Bearbeitungszentrum. Von der aufwendigen Demontage über die Überholung der Achsführungen und den Austausch der Kugelgewindetriebe bis hin zur kompletten Neulackierung wurde die Maschine technisch und optisch nahezu in den Neuzustand versetzt.
ELB ROTARY 60 SPS NK
Die ELB-SCHLIFF ROTARY 60 SPS NK wurde im Rahmen einer umfassenden Modernisierung technisch und optisch auf einen neuen Stand gebracht. Durch die sorgfältige Überholung mechanischer Komponenten, die Instandsetzung zentraler Baugruppen und die präzise Endabnahme entstand eine leistungsstarke Rundtisch-Flachschleifmaschine, die höchste Anforderungen an Präzision und Zuverlässigkeit erfüllt.
SORALUCE FS 8000
Die SORALUCE FS 8000 wurde im Rahmen eines umfassenden 100 %-Retrofits mechanisch, elektrisch und steuerungstechnisch vollständig modernisiert. Von der Überholung des Fräskopfes und Rundtisches über neue Achs- und Antriebskomponenten bis hin zum vollständigen Steuerungsretrofit mit HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 entstand ein Bearbeitungszentrum auf aktuellem technischem Stand.
