  • The TRAUB TNA line has an excellent reputation around the world when it comes to the machining of large chuck, shaft, and bar workpieces. Through precision, efficiency, short cycle times, and ease of use, these machines have set a new standard in their class. Starting with the standard equipment the machines can be tailored to suit any particular requirement - be it prototype production, small and medium series production, or for use in a production line

  • The TRAUB TNC line is intended for the economical complete machining of complex parts on a single machine. Turning and milling operations, as well as the implementation of other machining processes such as polygon turning, profile and flat milling, the production of special threads or the integration of laser machining, demonstrate the possibilities of this product line.  It is available with different levels of equipment, with one or two tool carriers, and with or without counter spindle – you pay only for what you need.
  • TRAUB TNL18 Swiss Turning + Production Turning in One. Quick and precise with a huge tool capacity: The surprisingly affordable TRAUB TNL18 is a sliding headstock automatic and a CNC single-spindle bar automatic in one. Changing over in only minutes, the TNL18 can put 3 tools in the cut at once, features a quick-positioning top tool turret with a larger tool capacity than any gang carrier--up to 24 tools--and chip-to-chip time of 0.3 sec. A counterspindle with large X/Y/Z axis travels includes a 7-station tool carrier, each tool can be equipped with multiple holders.

  • The TRAUB TNX Turn-Mill Centers are intended for the economical complete machining of complex parts on a single machine. Turning and milling operations, as well as the implementation of other machining processes such as polygon turning, profile and flat milling, the production of special threads or the integration of laser machining, demonstrate the possibilities of this product line. The decisive factor is not the multitude of variants, but the profit you make. You pay only for what you need.
  • TRAUB TNK single spindle bar automatics are suited for machining short parts with diameter up to 36 mm, no matter which level of complexity they have. Optimal accessibility, easy programming and powerful drives are only some of the features, which characterize the TNK series. The simulations use of maximum four tools provides a high productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions about used TRAUB

What is a TRAUB lathe and what is it used for?

TRAUB is a long-established German manufacturer of lathes, with a range from automatic turning machines to CNC turning centres for medium and high-volume production. Typical applications are precision turned parts for automotive suppliers, electrical engineering, medical technology and general machinery. A used TRAUB machine is often interesting for shops that need turning capacity quickly.

What should I look for when buying a used TRAUB lathe?

The key factors are the part spectrum and bar capacity you want to produce, and whether an automatic lathe or a CNC turning centre with driven tools fits better. Also check the control, the equipment, the tool holders, and whether documentation and spare parts are available. A dedicated Asset-Trade project manager helps you match machine type and configuration to your production requirements.

How much does a used TRAUB lathe cost?

The price depends strongly on the series, year of construction, condition, control and tooling, so no flat rate can be given. Compared with a new machine, savings on used TRAUB machines typically range from 40 to 70 percent. Asset-Trade provides a free machine appraisal on request so you can assess the offer and the condition realistically.

How is the condition of a used TRAUB checked before purchase?

Asset-Trade inspects every machine in a multi-stage process including functional tests before it is offered for sale. On request you can inspect the TRAUB machine on site and see it running in a demonstration. This lets you assess running behaviour, control and tooling systems before making a purchase decision.

How are used TRAUB machines delivered and exported?

Asset-Trade handles worldwide shipping and export, including the required paperwork and coordination with freight forwarders. The process follows a fixed 7-step purchase process, with a dedicated project manager accompanying you from inquiry to delivery. Loading and transport of the lathe are agreed with you in advance.

What alternatives to a used TRAUB are there, and what mistakes should buyers avoid?

Alternatives include a new machine, machines from other manufacturers, or continuing to use existing equipment; a used TRAUB is usually the most economical choice when capacity is needed quickly on a limited budget. Common mistakes are buying without an inspection and functional test, unclear spare part and documentation availability, and unchecked power supply and tooling requirements at the installation site. Clarify these points in advance and have the machine's condition assessed.
