Frequently Asked Questions about used TRAUB
What is a TRAUB machine and what is it used for?
TRAUB machines are primarily used for precision turning and machining of metal workpieces, often in automotive, aerospace, and general metalworking industries. They are known for their reliability and are available as CNC lathes, automatic lathes, and multi-spindle machines. Buying used TRAUB machines allows you to access this German engineering at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
How do I choose the right used TRAUB machine for my production?
Start by defining your turning requirements, such as workpiece size, batch size, and required accuracy. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal and a multi-stage inspection with functional tests to help you match a machine to your needs. A dedicated project manager guides you through the 7-step purchase process, including on-site inspection and demonstration.
How much does a used TRAUB machine cost compared to a new one?
Used TRAUB machines typically cost 40-70% less than comparable new machines, making them a cost-effective option for immediate production needs. Exact pricing depends on model, age, condition, and included tooling. Asset-Trade provides a free appraisal to give you a realistic market value before you commit.
What condition are used TRAUB machines in and what should I check during inspection?
Condition varies by machine, but Asset-Trade's multi-stage inspection includes functional tests to verify performance before purchase. You should check spindle condition, guideways, control system, and available tooling. Asset-Trade also offers on-site inspection and demonstration so you can see the machine under power.

Asset-Trade handles worldwide shipping and export, including customs documentation and logistics. A dedicated project manager coordinates the 7-step purchase process from selection to delivery. After installation, support and training for your operators can be arranged to help you integrate the machine smoothly.
What are common mistakes and alternatives when buying a used TRAUB machine?
A common mistake is buying without a functional test or on-site inspection, which can lead to unexpected downtime. Alternatives to TRAUB include other German and Swiss turning machine brands, but TRAUB is valued for its robust design and parts availability. Using a structured purchase process with a project manager helps avoid costly oversights.
