Frequently Asked Questions about used KELLENBERGER
What is a Kellenberger machine and what is it used for?
Kellenberger is a Swiss manufacturer of precision cylindrical grinding machines and tool grinders, mainly used for external and internal grinding of rotationally symmetrical workpieces. Typical applications include tool and mould making, bearing and spindle production, and grinding shafts, journals and sleeves in small to medium batch sizes. Used Kellenberger machines come up regularly at Asset-Trade and suit workshops that need high roundness and surface quality on a limited budget.
How do I choose the right used Kellenberger grinding machine and which mistakes should I avoid?
The key points are your workpiece dimensions (swing and distance between centres), the required roundness and surface finish, the grinding task (external, internal or tool grinding) and whether you need a conventional or CNC-controlled machine. Common mistakes are buying without a test grind, underestimating the tooling package such as workholding, grinding wheels and coolant system, and not comparing alternatives from other European cylindrical grinder builders. Asset-Trade supports the selection with a free machine appraisal and a dedicated project manager so that requirements and machine really match.
How much does a used Kellenberger cylindrical grinding machine cost?
The price depends heavily on the model series, year of manufacture, control system, condition and included accessories, so no flat figure can be given. Used Kellenberger machines typically cost 40 to 70 percent less than comparable new machines. Asset-Trade provides a free machine appraisal as the basis for your quotation and cost calculation.
How is a used Kellenberger machine inspected before purchase?
Asset-Trade carries out a multi-stage inspection with functional tests covering the control system, axes, grinding spindle, hydraulics and coolant circuit. On request, an on-site inspection and demonstration can be arranged so you can assess the condition yourself. The whole procedure follows a documented 7-step purchase process, keeping inspection results and machine condition transparent.
Can a used Kellenberger machine be shipped and exported internationally?
Yes, Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export including loading, transport documents and customs handling. Suitable packing and transport solutions are selected for heavy cylindrical grinding machines and the schedule is agreed with you. A dedicated project manager coordinates the delivery to its destination.
Is operator training and support available after buying a used Kellenberger?
Asset-Trade supports commissioning, helps with documentation and spare parts sourcing and can organise operator training through partners. An inspection and demonstration before purchase is part of the process so your team already knows the machine before delivery. The scope of support and the condition of the machine are set out in the purchase contract.
