Buy & Sell Used HITACHI SEIKI for Sale

Hitachi Seiki was a Japanese machine tool builder whose CNC lathes, turning centres and machining centres are mainly used in metalworking. They turn and mill rotationally symmetrical parts such as shafts, bushings and flanges in one-off and series production. Many models run Fanuc or Seicos controls and are found at job shops, contract manufacturers and supplier companies.

The condition of the spindle, guideways and ball screws matters most, along with whether the control is fully functional, because spare part availability differs between older series. Also check that the tool changer, coolant system and accessories are complete and that spindle bore and travels match your workpieces. Asset-Trade carries out a multi-stage inspection with functional tests before sale and offers on-site inspection and demonstration.

The price depends on year of manufacture, equipment, control and condition, so no blanket figures can be quoted. Used machine tools at Asset-Trade typically cost 40 to 70 percent less than comparable new machines. A free machine appraisal helps you judge what price is realistic for a specific Hitachi Seiki.

Inspection at Asset-Trade is carried out in several stages and includes functional and test runs on the spindle, axes and control. Buyers can examine the machine during an on-site visit and have it demonstrated under real operating conditions. Technical documentation, maintenance history and available accessories are disclosed wherever they exist.

Yes, Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export, including loading, transport documents and customs handling. A dedicated project manager accompanies the whole process and coordinates scheduling, freight forwarder and handover. On request we also support you with commissioning and with training your machine operators.

Depending on your part range, machines from other Japanese or European builders with a comparable control can be alternatives; workpiece sizes, spindle speeds and spare part supply are the deciding factors. Common mistakes are buying without an inspection, ignoring the condition of the control, and underestimating tooling and workholding costs. Asset-Trade guides buyers through a 7-step purchase process in which offer, inspection, transport and handover are clearly defined.
