Frequently Asked Questions about used HELLER
What is a HELLER machine and what is it used for?
HELLER is a German manufacturer of CNC machine tools and manufacturing systems, best known for horizontal machining centers and flexible production lines. HELLER machines are used in metal-cutting production, for example in the automotive, aerospace, energy and fluid technology industries. Typical operations include milling, drilling and tapping of medium and large workpieces in series and mixed-batch production. On asset-trade.de you can find used HELLER machines in different equipment configurations and vintages.
What should I look for when buying a used HELLER machine?
The mechanical condition, the running hours of the main components and the availability of the control, documentation and spare parts are the key points. Because HELLER machines usually run in series production, the equipment – pallet changers, tool magazines and clamping devices – has to match the parts you plan to machine. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal and a multi-stage inspection with functional tests, and an on-site inspection and demonstration can be arranged.
How much does a used HELLER machine cost?
The price depends on size, equipment, age and condition and is assessed individually after the machine has been reviewed, so there is no flat rate. Compared with a new machine, savings on a used HELLER machine are typically 40 to 70 percent. A free appraisal gives you a realistic idea of the market value before you enter negotiations.
How is the condition of a used HELLER machine checked before purchase?
Asset-Trade inspects every machine in several stages, from a visual check and a review of the control and axis data to a functional test under power. On request, an inspection and demonstration at the seller's site is possible so that you can see the machine running under real conditions. Findings and photos are documented, so you can follow the condition before making your decision.
How are used HELLER machines shipped and exported?
Asset-Trade handles worldwide shipping and export of used HELLER machines, including loading, transport documentation and customs clearance. A dedicated project manager accompanies the whole process from the quotation through the purchase to delivery at your site. Before loading, the machine is checked again and the loading is documented; questions about installation and operator familiarisation can be clarified with your project manager in advance.
Are there alternatives to HELLER, and what mistakes should I avoid?
Alternatives to HELLER include horizontal machining centers from other German, Japanese or Italian manufacturers; whether HELLER is the better choice depends on your part spectrum, batch sizes and existing control environment. Common mistakes are buying without a functional test, not checking spare part and documentation availability, and underestimating transport, foundation and clamping costs. Asset-Trade supports the purchase with a 7-step process in which selection, inspection and export are documented transparently.
