We Buy Used Amada Fabrication Equipment
Machine Tool Exchange is a direct buyer of used Amada fabrication equipment nationwide. MTE buys Amada fiber and CO2 lasers, CNC press brakes, turret punch presses, shears, and band saws in any condition, single units or full shops, with a quote in 24-48 hours and payment at pickup.
Amada is one of the most established and most in-demand names in sheet-metal fabrication, with a deep installed base across American fab shops. That scale is exactly why used Amada equipment stays liquid. When you decide to sell, the pool of buyers is broad, the AMNC-class controls and tooling are familiar to fabricators everywhere, and a fair number is straightforward to support with real market data. A clean fiber laser or a well-kept CNC press brake does not sit long.
MTE buys that equipment directly. We purchase your Amada outright, we do not buy on consignment, and we pay at pickup, and we handle the rigging and freight at no cost to you. Whether it is a single band saw in a back corner or a row of press brakes and turret punches coming out during a shop changeover, you get one quote, one contact, and one pickup. If you have an Amada sitting idle, running in production, or anywhere in between, call 800-822-9524 or fill out the form on our sell page. This page is part of our broader Sell Your Machine hub.
Why Amada Holds Its Resale Value
Amada holds its value because it is a global sheet-metal fabrication leader with a huge installed base in US fab shops, familiar AMNC controls, and strong parts and service support, which keeps the used buyer pool deep. A clean Amada fiber laser or CNC press brake converts to cash faster and more predictably than most fabrication equipment on the secondary market.
Resale value comes down to demand, and demand for used Amada is structural. A shop that needs a second press brake, a fabricator adding laser capacity, or a job shop that wants a known-quantity turret punch all reach for Amada because the brand is a default in the fab world. That breadth of buyers keeps used prices firm. A serviceable fiber laser or a tight HG-series brake moves.
Three things drive an Amada number on the used market. The first is the model and configuration: a high-wattage fiber laser commands more than a low-wattage CO2 machine, a large-tonnage brake with a long bed and more back-gauge axes brings more than a short benchtop unit, and a high-station, high-tonnage turret punch is worth more than a small one. The second is the control generation: machines on current Amada AMNC controls generally bring more than older or Delem-class units, because that is what fabricators want for current programming and nesting. The third is condition and run hours: laser source hours, ram and back-gauge condition, and whether the machine is currently producing accurate parts all move the number.
For context, used fabrication equipment trades as a percentage of its new price depending on age, hours, and condition, from older CO2 lasers and hydraulic brakes at the low end through current fiber lasers and servo-electric machines at the top. Those figures are market context, not a quote. What your machine is worth depends on the details, which is exactly what our valuation looks at.
Amada Machines We Buy
MTE buys the full Amada fabrication lineup. Below are the families we see and purchase most often. If your machine is not listed, it does not mean we will not buy it. Call 800-822-9524 and we will tell you.
Amada Fiber and CO2 Laser Cutting Machines
Laser cutting is where the most movement is, because shops upgrading to fiber are retiring older CO2 and lower-wattage machines. We buy current Amada fiber lasers including the ENSIS series (models such as the ENSIS 3015 AJ), the LCG series (LCG 3015 AJ), and the VENTIS series (VENTIS 3015 AJ), along with punch-laser combination machines like the EML series (EML 2515 AJ). We also buy legacy CO2 lasers such as the FO MII series and the Quattro. Source wattages across the Amada laser range commonly run from roughly 1 kW up to around 12 kW. Whether you are clearing an older CO2 machine to make room or moving a still-capable fiber laser, you can sell your Amada laser to us directly, single units or a full cutting cell.
Amada CNC Press Brakes
Amada press brakes hold strong resale value, and we buy the full span: the HG series, the HFE and HFE M2 series, the HDS series (models such as the HDS 1303NT and HDS-2204NT), the HFB series (HFB 125-40, HFB 2204), the RG series (RG-50, RG-80, RG-100, RG 100S), and the FBD series (FBD 1030NT, FBD 8025). Tonnage and bed length range from compact benchtop machines up through large floor units, running Amada AMNC or Delem-class controls. Back-gauge axes, tooling, and bending automation all add to the number. We buy hydraulic and servo-electric brakes alike, and a brake does not need to be the latest model to carry real used value.
Amada Turret Punch Presses
Turret punching is core Amada territory, and we buy it across generations: the Pega series (Pega 244, Pega 357 and 367), the Vipros series (Vipros 255, Vipros 358 King II, Vipros 367 Queen, Vipros 368 King), the EM and EMK series (EM2510NT, EM 3610NT, EMK 3610NT), the Aries series (Aries 245), and the AE series (AE-2510NT). Value on a turret punch is driven by tonnage, station count, hit rate, and whether the machine is servo-electric or hydraulic. From a single press to a punching cell with auto load and unload, we buy it outright.
Amada Shears
We buy Amada hydraulic and guillotine shears, including the ESH class (models such as the ESH40-13) along with DCT and M-series-class machines. Shear value is set by cutting length and maximum thickness, plus the CNC back gauge and condition. A shear pairs naturally with a brake and a laser on the same floor, and we are glad to quote all of it together on one pickup.
Amada Band Saws
Band saws are Amada's founding product line, and they still trade actively on the used market. We buy horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws across the HA and HFA classes and similar machines. These move quickly because the transaction price is approachable and fabricators always need cutting capacity. If you have one to move, you can sell your band saw to MTE alongside anything else on the floor.
Amada Automation and Bending Cells
Automated Amada assets are the high end of what we buy: robotic bending cells such as the HG-ARs and EG-AR lines, load and unload towers, and ASR and LST automation that feed lasers and brakes. These integrated systems carry strong value, and we have the logistics to handle the rigging and de-installation that automation requires.

Why Fabrication Shops Sell Amada Equipment
Fabrication shops sell Amada equipment when they upgrade to fiber-laser or higher-wattage cutting, move into robotic bending or load-tower automation, downsize or retire a shop, consolidate or relocate a facility, rebalance capacity after a contract ends, or settle an estate or liquidation. In every case MTE buys the displaced Amada outright and pays at pickup, so the machine turns back into capital instead of taking up floor space.
Amada turns over on a predictable cycle because fabrication technology keeps moving and shops are always adjusting capacity. Here are the situations that most often bring an Amada seller to MTE.
Fiber-Laser and Technology Upgrade
This is the single biggest reason an Amada comes off the floor. A shop moves from a CO2 laser to a faster, cheaper-to-run fiber machine, or steps up from a lower-wattage source to a higher one. The retired machine still cuts clean parts and still has plenty of buyers, but it no longer fits the plan. MTE buys the unit you are replacing so it is gone before the new install lands.
Automation or Robotic-Cell Upgrade
Shops moving into lights-out fabrication add robotic bending cells, load and unload towers, and automated nesting. When the automation goes in, the standalone brake or laser it replaced becomes surplus. We buy the displaced machine and, when it applies, the older automation it is succeeding.
Shop Downsizing or Retirement
When an owner retires or a shop scales down, the Amada machines are often the most valuable and most liquid assets on the floor. Owners, families, and partners come to MTE because we make a clean, fast offer, handle the removal, and write one check rather than leaving them to manage a drawn-out sale.
Facility Consolidation and Relocation
Mergers, footprint reduction, and moves push fabrication into fewer buildings. When two shops become one, or when a plant relocates and the freight on aging equipment does not pencil out, the duplicate or oversized Amada machines become surplus. MTE quotes the whole group on one pickup schedule.
Capacity Rebalancing
A contract ends, a product line winds down, or a busy season passes, and a shop finds itself with more Amada capacity than it needs. Rather than carry idle iron and pay to insure and house it, owners convert the surplus to cash. We buy a single extra press brake just as readily as several.
Estate and Liquidation
When an estate or a closing business has to settle a fabrication shop, the Amada lasers, brakes, and punches are usually where the value sits. MTE makes a transparent offer on the equipment, coordinates the rigging and freight, and pays at pickup, so the estate is settled without a long, uncertain sale process.

How to Sell Your Amada Machine to MTE
Selling an Amada to Machine Tool Exchange is a three-step process: tell us what you have, get a market-based quote within 24-48 hours, and we handle the rigging and freight and pay at pickup. There is no listing, no auction wait, and no commission.
Step 1: Tell Us What You Have
Call 800-822-9524 or tell us what you have. Give us the model, serial, year, and condition. A few Amada-specific details speed the quote and tend to raise the number. For lasers, note the source type, wattage, and run hours. For press brakes, note the tonnage, bed length, and back-gauge axes. For turret punches, note the tonnage, station count, and hit rate. For any machine, the control type matters, whether it is current Amada AMNC or an older Delem-class unit. Photos of the control, the ram and back gauge, and the laser head or resonator help us value it quickly. For more than one machine, a simple list with models and quantities is enough to start.
Step 2: Get a Quote Within 24-48 Hours
Our purchasing team values your Amada against current secondary-market data along with the specs above: model, wattage or tonnage or station count, control generation, condition, and included tooling. Because Amada trades so actively on the used fabrication market, we can build an accurate, transparent number quickly. No lowball formulas, no pressure, no obligation.
Step 3: We Handle Rigging, Freight, and Pay at Pickup
Accept the quote and MTE takes it from there. We arrange and pay for rigging, crating, and freight nationwide, and we pay at pickup. We coordinate the removal around your schedule so the machine comes off the floor with no logistics cost or hassle to you, whether it is a single band saw or a full cell with a laser, a brake, and load-tower automation.
No listing your machine and waiting months. No auction gamble. No tire-kickers. One quote, one pickup, one payment.

What Affects Your Amada Machine's Value
When we value an Amada, we look at the specifics, not a generic formula. The signals that move the number most are:
- Laser source type, wattage, and run hours for fiber and CO2 cutting machines. A higher-wattage fiber laser with low hours is worth substantially more than a tired CO2 machine.
- Brake tonnage, bed length, and back-gauge axes for press brakes. More tonnage, a longer bed, and more controlled axes raise the number.
- Turret tonnage, station count, and hit rate for punch presses, plus whether the machine is servo-electric or hydraulic.
- Cutting length and maximum thickness for shears, along with the CNC back gauge.
- CNC control generation, current Amada AMNC versus older or Delem-class units.
- Included tooling, dies, and automation, which add real value when they come with the machine.
- Completeness and condition evidence, including whether the machine is currently producing accurate parts.
This is what we evaluate, not a promise of a specific dollar figure. Send us the details and we will turn them into a transparent, market-based offer.
