Conventional machine
tools

  • The general decline in the
    conventional sector experienced during the past 12 months appears
    to have eased, especially for late model examples. However demand
    for older machines in poor condition is still slow due to the
    quantities available.
  • The demand for large capacity
    conventional machine tools is relatively slow due to the trading
    conditions in the heavy manufacturing sector.

CNC machining centres

  • <Demand has been positive
    during the past 9 months with realisations reflecting the
    same.
  • The automotive sector has seen
    some improvement during 2010 however this does not appear to have
    been the case within the aerospace sector.

CNC
lathes

  • As with machining centres the
    demand for general CNC lathes has slowly improved during the past 9
    months.
  • High specification examples by
    leading manufacturers have sold within the UK and Europe at
    reasonable levels.
  • There is a quantity of such
    machinery currently available however the auction scene has slowed
    slightly in recent months.

  • Demand remains steady for good
    quality well maintained equipment however values of such are
    generally low especially if sold for export markets.
  • Older and misused machines have
    limited appeal and are generally being sold at salvageable only
    values.

Electrical discharge
machines

  • Slight improvements have been
    seen within the sector and we are aware of several new machines
    being purchased. Demand is principally for leading brand
    machines.

Conventional gear
machinery

  • General demand is relatively
    slow within the UK and overseas as the heavy plant sector continues
    to struggle.
  • Good clean examples of
    conventional machines have seen limited export demand from
    developing economies.

CNC gear
machinery

  • Only limited amounts of such
    equipment enters the market. However, demand is expected to
    continue for such equipment as facilities can update from ageing
    traditional machines.
