Buy & Sell Used TORNOS for Sale

Tornos is a Swiss manufacturer of automatic lathes, multi-spindle machines and CNC sliding-headstock lathes. These machines are mainly used for high-precision series production of small to medium-sized turned parts, for example in watchmaking, medical technology, electronics and automotive supply. Asset-Trade offers used Tornos machines for bar and chuck part production.

Part size, batch volume, material and required accuracy determine whether a multi-spindle machine, a single-spindle machine or a sliding-headstock lathe with or without CNC is suitable. You should also check tooling, control system, bar feeder and available documentation. Asset-Trade supports the preselection with a free machine appraisal and a dedicated project manager.

The price depends on model, year of manufacture, equipment, control system and condition, so no flat-rate figures can be given. Used Tornos machines typically cost 40–70% less than comparable new machines. For a specific assessment, Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal.

Asset-Trade inspects used machines in multiple stages, including functional tests; an on-site inspection and demonstration can be arranged. Mechanics, control system, spindles and peripherals are among the points reviewed. The 7-step purchase process documents each stage from first contact through to delivery.

Yes, Asset-Trade organises worldwide shipping and export, including the necessary paperwork and logistics handling. A dedicated project manager accompanies the entire 7-step purchase process and coordinates delivery. Before purchase, you can inspect the machine as part of an on-site inspection and demonstration.

Common mistakes include choosing the wrong machine type, neglecting control-system and spare-part availability, and skipping a demonstration. Check the actual condition and have the machine demonstrated on site; Asset-Trade provides a multi-stage inspection with functional tests for this. Alternatives to Tornos include other sliding-headstock or multi-spindle automatic lathes, depending on the application, which are also available on the used market.
