Press Brakes, Laser Cutters & Punch Presses
Used Amada VIPROS 358: Sell or Buy at Auction
Amada is the world's largest manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication equipment, with a dominant position in press brakes, laser cutting systems, punch presses, and shears. Amada machines are the standard equipment in metal fabrication shops across North America, making them highly liquid at auction with strong buyer demand.
The Amada Vipros 358 is a 30-ton class CNC turret punch press. A high-capacity rotating turret, a hydraulic punching drive, and CNC servo positioning of the sheet let it move shaped, forming, and tapping tools into place without hard tooling changeovers between jobs. Its auto-index stations rotate tools on the fly, so a shop runs programmable hole punching, light forming, and tapping across sheet steel, stainless, and aluminum from a single setup. Unlike Amada's later servo-electric EM machines, the Vipros punches hydraulically. Depending on the build it runs Amada's Fanuc-based CNC on earlier units or the PC-based AMNC control on later King II machines, which is worth confirming because control status affects both usability and resale. It is a workhorse for HVAC and duct fabricators, electrical enclosure builders, and precision sheet metal shops running high-mix, low-volume panel and perforation work, where a fully loaded turret cuts the changeover time a single-station press cannot touch. Because Amada turret punches run on so many North American fabrication floors, a well-maintained Vipros 358 with a strong tooling package draws quick recognition and competitive bidding the moment it hits the block, and KD Auctions puts these listings directly in front of its base of 500,000+ industry contacts to capture that demand fast.

What is my Amada Vipros 358 worth at auction?
There is no single figure that applies across the board. Auction value for a Vipros 358 depends on its age, the hours and cycle count on the machine, overall mechanical and hydraulic condition, the control it carries (an earlier Fanuc-based CNC versus a later AMNC), and the tooling and auto-index stations included in the sale. KD Auctions provides a free, no-obligation AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that establishes both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you know where your specific machine stands before you decide to sell. If you move ahead, commission is tailored to the engagement and quoted upfront, and most sellers pay nothing out of pocket.
How does the Vipros 358 differ from other Amada turret punch presses?
The 358 is a 30-ton machine, and within Amada's Vipros line the models separate mainly on turret station count, auto-index configuration, and control generation. Its closest sibling is the Vipros 357 King, a very near variant on the same 30-ton platform, and King II builds add Amada's PC-based AMNC control. Against Amada's lighter, lower-tonnage turret punches the 358 brings more turret capacity and forming flexibility, while shops that need larger sheet handling or higher throughput tend to step up to bigger-format machines or to Amada's later servo-electric EM series, which swaps the Vipros hydraulic drive for lower energy use and quieter operation. For high-mix job shop work, the 358 lands in a practical middle ground: full turret flexibility without the floor space or cost of Amada's largest punch presses.
