Gleason Pfauter machines are gear cutting machines that produce teeth on gears, shafts and similar rotationally symmetrical parts by hobbing, shaping or related processes. They are used in gearbox and drivetrain production as well as in general mechanical engineering, often for many years. At Asset-Trade, buyers find used Gleason Pfauter gear cutting machines in various sizes and configurations.
The condition of spindles, guideways and gearboxes matters, along with the control generation and software level and whether tooling and workholding for your gearing are still obtainable. Documentation and the machine's suitability for your part range and gearing method are just as important. Asset-Trade inspects used gear cutting machines in multiple stages with functional tests and helps match a machine to your workpieces.
The price depends on size, control, equipment, condition and accessories and cannot be quoted as a flat figure; compared with equivalent new machines, savings typically range from 40 to 70 percent. Asset-Trade provides a free machine appraisal on request so you can judge effort and value realistically. The final figure then follows from scope, delivery location and handling.
Asset-Trade carries out a multi-stage inspection including functional and machining tests and documents the condition in a traceable way. On request, an on-site inspection and demonstration can be arranged so you see the machine running and ask questions directly. A dedicated project manager accompanies the inspection and handles technical queries.
Yes, Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export, including loading, transport and customs paperwork. A dedicated project manager coordinates schedules, documents and handover at the destination. Operator instruction and training on site can be arranged on request.
Alternatives include a new machine from the same manufacturer or used gear cutting machines of other types, such as gear shaping or gear grinding machines when tighter accuracy requirements apply. Common mistakes are buying without inspection, an unclear spare parts and tooling situation, an outdated control level, or a machine size that does not fit your part spectrum. Clarifying these points with a project manager beforehand helps avoid expensive wrong decisions.
