If you want to sell a used Rollomatic tool grinder, such as a GrindSmart, a ShapeSmart, a LaserSmart, a Strausak ONE or an older machine that the market lists as Roll-o-Matic, we buy your tool grinder. Sale through our buyer network: commission stated upfront; you are paid before pickup. You usually get a first assessment. For the overview of all processes and brands, see Sell tool grinders; for the machine type, see Sell CNC tool grinders.
Who Rollomatic is
Rollomatic SA is based in Le Landeron, Switzerland, and describes itself as a private Swiss company that develops and builds high-precision CNC machines. Its roots lie with Francis Rollier, who founded Rollier SA in La Neuveville in 1964; Rollomatic SA itself has existed since 1989, according to the manufacturer. A US subsidiary in Mundelein followed in 1994. In 2007 the company took over Robert Renaud SA and in 2011 Strausak SA; Patric Métal SA followed in 2022, and since then Rollomatic has spoken of the ‘Rollomatic Group’.
For sellers the company structure matters for two reasons. First, the group contains more than one brand: whoever sells a Strausak today is selling a machine from the Rollomatic catalogue. Second, for Germany the manufacturer’s history page names EngRoTec Solutions GmbH in Hünfeld, a robotics company acquired in 2024, but no sales company. The contact page lists contacts for Germany under Rollomatic SA in Le Landeron. If a listing names a ‘Rollomatic GmbH’, check that before you rely on it. We do not claim any dealer or distribution structure that the manufacturer does not name itself.
The series at a glance
The table summarises the machines Rollomatic lists on its website and in its catalogue (manufacturer data, as of 30 September 2026). The values are taken as they appear there; where the page gives no value, we leave the cell open. For your individual machine the nameplate and data sheet apply; the table replaces neither.

The catalogue also lists further variants: the 630RS, 630RW and 630RW3 with a six-axis Fanuc robot, and the 630XW3 as a linear-motor variant. The manufacturer’s page gives no specifications for them, so we enter none here. The same goes for the RPG II, a hydraulic plunge-grinding machine for tool blanks, which is in the ShapeSmart catalogue.
One detail buyers easily overlook when comparing: for the GrindSmart 830XW the manufacturer’s page gives the laser’s measuring range, not a grinding range. If you sell this machine, state the tool diameters you actually clamp, not just the catalogue value.
Names on the used market and their pitfalls
Dealer portals list Rollomatic machines under spellings that differ from today’s catalogue. The table shows what is behind the designations. We do not adopt specifications quoted by dealers; they are dealer statements and not backed by the manufacturer.
| Designation in the listing | What is behind it |
|---|---|
| ‘Roll-o-Matic CNC 600 X’, ‘Tool grinder Roll-o-Matic CNC 600 X’ | Older machine, spelled with hyphens on dealer portals. It is not on the manufacturer’s current pages. |
| ‘Rollomatic 6000XL’, ‘Rollomatic 6000XL Tool grinding machine’ | Older machine from listings on international portals. We found no manufacturer data on it. |
| ‘GrindSmart 630XS’, ‘GrindSmart 630 XS’ | The same machine; dealers write a space, the manufacturer generally does not. |
| ‘Strausak ONE’ | Former Strausak series, now in the Rollomatic catalogue. |
| ‘Rollomatic Inc.’ | US subsidiary in Mundelein, not the Swiss manufacturer. |
| ‘LaserSmart’ | Laser system for PCD and PcBN, not a grinding machine in the narrow sense. See Sell PCD tool grinders for the classification. |
Compare your machine only with listings that show year, control and condition. For older machines such as the CNC 600 X or the 6000XL, for which the manufacturer publishes no specifications online, the nameplate, the control details and an accessory list are the most important information for us.
What decides the value of a used Rollomatic
Besides the year, several points decide how a buyer classifies the machine. A full self-check is in the guide What is my tool grinder worth?. For Rollomatic machines the weighting is as follows:
| Value factor | Why it counts for Rollomatic | What to have ready |
|---|---|---|
| Series and tool Ø range | A Nano for micro tools and a GrindSmart 830XW with a laser measuring range up to 32 mm appeal to entirely different buyers. | Nameplate, photo of the clamping devices, list of tool types ground |
| Number of axes and drive type | 5 or 6 axes, linear motors, torque motor or hydrostatic bearings determine which geometries the buyer can still produce. | Data sheet or description of the axis configuration |
| Software and control | The VirtualGrind Pro version and the licence situation decide whether a buyer can program the machine at the current level. | Version number, licence proof, backup of the programs |
| Loader and wheel changer | A loader for 1,000 or 1,360 tools and a multi-station wheel changer allow unattended shifts and make the machine easier to resell. | Photos of loader, cassettes and changer, number of pallets present |
| Measuring system and clamping devices | Laser measurement, SmartChuck and shank guide are expressly named on the manufacturer’s pages and buyers ask about them. | List of probe, measuring system, collets, holders |
| Spindle condition and hours | Spindles are a wear part with high replacement cost, so every buyer asks about them. | Operating hours, maintenance history, runout records |
| Accuracy records | Current inspection and measurement records say more about condition than the year alone. | Acceptance record, latest test results |
| Erosion or laser option | On LaserSmart systems the laser source decides whether a buyer can use the system for PCD tools. | Source type, operating hours of the source |
| Coolant and extraction | Treatment and oil mist extraction are often part of the delivery and affect installation and takeover. | Photos of the system, data sheets |
Manufacturer service and software: what is known
What the manufacturer itself publishes on service and modernisation is limited. Rollomatic’s service page describes its own development team for new developments, customer-specific developments and maintenance; it names neither a retrofit programme nor a used machine offer. For the GrindSmart Nano5, the product page says the software upgrade is free for the whole life of the machine. We do not read from the manufacturer’s page that this applies to other series, so we do not transfer the statement.
For your sale this means: a buyer cannot rely on a documented manufacturer programme for older machines and therefore relies more on your documents. Complete maintenance records, a backed-up program database and a clearly stated software version make the takeover easier.
Photos and documents that speed up the sale
An assessment is faster and more precise when these details are available:
- Nameplate: series, serial number and year, photographed legibly.
- Control and software: designation of the control, version of the programming software, licence situation.
- Equipment: loader or robot, wheel changer, measuring system, clamping devices and accessories with photos.
- Condition: spindle hours, maintenance records, latest inspection records, known defects.
- Installation: dimensions, weight, location and access, so that we can plan dismantling and transport.
How to sell your Rollomatic to MBR
- Send details and photos: the items listed above, plus photos of the overall view, work area, spindles, loader, wheel changer and operator interface.
- Receive an assessment: you learn how we classify your machine. The offer usually follows 24–48 hours on working days after we have all the details. The whole process usually takes 7–15 working days on a direct purchase; if it is urgent, an on-site visit is possible, usually within 48–72 hours on working days.
- Dismantling and transport: we organise both, including the paperwork for export if the machine is going abroad. Whether the costs are included is stated in the offer upfront.
- Payment before pickup (direct purchase): no machine leaves your site without confirmed payment.
The general process is described under How it works; more answers are in the FAQ. We act independently of Rollomatic; all manufacturer details on this page come from publicly available sources of the manufacturer.
What we do not buy
This page covers tool grinding and laser machining machines for cutting tools. We do not take loose grinding wheels, collets and accessories as single items. General precision grinding machines such as surface, cylindrical or internal grinders are under Sell grinding machines; die-sinking and wire EDM machines unrelated to tool making are under Sell EDM machines.
Other brands in tool grinding
If you are selling several machines from different manufacturers, the brand pages are here: Walter, Vollmer and ANCA. The overview of all brands is on the tool grinders page.
