Frequently Asked Questions about used TRAUB
What is a TRAUB lathe and what is it used for?
TRAUB is a long-established German manufacturer of lathes, with a range from automatic turning machines to CNC turning centres for medium and high-volume production. Typical applications are precision turned parts for automotive suppliers, electrical engineering, medical technology and general machinery. A used TRAUB machine is often interesting for shops that need turning capacity quickly.
What should I look for when buying a used TRAUB lathe?
The key factors are the part spectrum and bar capacity you want to produce, and whether an automatic lathe or a CNC turning centre with driven tools fits better. Also check the control, the equipment, the tool holders, and whether documentation and spare parts are available. A dedicated Asset-Trade project manager helps you match machine type and configuration to your production requirements.
How much does a used TRAUB lathe cost?
The price depends strongly on the series, year of construction, condition, control and tooling, so no flat rate can be given. Compared with a new machine, savings on used TRAUB machines typically range from 40 to 70 percent. Asset-Trade provides a free machine appraisal on request so you can assess the offer and the condition realistically.
How is the condition of a used TRAUB checked before purchase?
Asset-Trade inspects every machine in a multi-stage process including functional tests before it is offered for sale. On request you can inspect the TRAUB machine on site and see it running in a demonstration. This lets you assess running behaviour, control and tooling systems before making a purchase decision.
How are used TRAUB machines delivered and exported?
Asset-Trade handles worldwide shipping and export, including the required paperwork and coordination with freight forwarders. The process follows a fixed 7-step purchase process, with a dedicated project manager accompanying you from inquiry to delivery. Loading and transport of the lathe are agreed with you in advance.
What alternatives to a used TRAUB are there, and what mistakes should buyers avoid?
Alternatives include a new machine, machines from other manufacturers, or continuing to use existing equipment; a used TRAUB is usually the most economical choice when capacity is needed quickly on a limited budget. Common mistakes are buying without an inspection and functional test, unclear spare part and documentation availability, and unchecked power supply and tooling requirements at the installation site. Clarify these points in advance and have the machine's condition assessed.
