Used Amada Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Amada was founded in 1946 in Japan and grew from a distributor of sheet metal machinery into one of the world's largest manufacturers of metal fabrication equipment. By the 1970s the company had established subsidiaries in the United States and Europe, and it has since expanded to operate in over 100 countries through a network of more than 99 subsidiaries and affiliates. Amada America, Inc. was established in 1971 and has been headquartered in Buena Park, California since 1973, giving North American fabricators direct access to sales, service, and parts support.

Amada's sheet metal fabrication line centers on two product families that define its reputation in the secondary market: CNC turret punch presses and laser cutting systems. The Pega series of mechanical turret punch presses — including the widely sold Pega 357 — are flywheel-driven machines known for their 33-ton capacity, bridge-frame construction, and Fanuc-based CNC controls capable of handling sheets up to 50 by 144 inches with auto-repositioning. The Vipros series, including the Vipros 358 King, represents Amada's higher-throughput hydraulic turret punch press line with multi-station thick-turret tooling and auto-index capability. On the laser side, the Pulsar series of CO2 laser cutting systems — such as the Pulsar 2415XL — uses a distinctive hybrid design that pairs a Fanuc resonator with Amada's own motion system, delivering a compact footprint, 5-by-12-foot sheet capacity with one repositioning cycle, and cutting speeds suited to production environments.

Amada's equipment serves a broad cross-section of manufacturing industries. Amada America has identified its core end markets as aerospace, air conditioning and HVAC, appliances, computers and electronics, farm equipment, medical equipment, restaurant equipment, telecommunications hardware, and transportation. The combination of tight punching tolerances and precise laser cutting makes Amada machines particularly well suited to fabricators producing enclosures, panels, brackets, and structural components across these sectors.

Used Amada turret punch presses and laser cutters attract strong secondary-market demand for several reasons. The machines are built to industrial-grade standards with heavy cast frames and proven drive systems that continue to hold tolerance well beyond their original service periods. A large installed base means that tooling, replacement parts, cutting nozzles, and control boards remain widely available through authorized distributors and the aftermarket. Amada's CNC controls are also well supported for retrofit and upgrade, allowing older Pega and Vipros machines to be brought onto modern CAD/CAM networks. Taken together, these factors give used Amada punch presses and laser cutters a reputation for strong resale value and long productive service life.
