The advantages of refurbished robot systems

Used robot sys­tems exist in com­pa­nies world­wide. Some have been work­ing hard for their man­u­fac­tur­ers for five years, while oth­ers have been work­ing day after day for almost two full decades. When a robot sys­tem is prop­er­ly main­tained, it can work indef­i­nite­ly, whether it starts out on a man­u­fac­tur­ing line as a new or refur­bished robot. In that way, refur­bished robot­ic sys­tems are a lot like cars. If you choose to prop­er­ly main­tain a car, it will run as long as you need it to. Of course, like any­thing, you may have to replace a motor every few hun­dred thou­sand miles.

The ben­e­fits of hav­ing a refur­bished robot sys­tem is sim­i­lar to the ben­e­fits of hav­ing a new robot sys­tem. Both ver­sions of automa­tion tech­nol­o­gy are going to speed up your shop’s per­for­mance, while also crank­ing out a high­er qual­i­ty of prod­uct for your com­pa­ny. That being said, invest­ment in a refur­bished robot sys­tem is not as finan­cial­ly jar­ring as the pur­chase of a new sys­tem may be. A used sys­tem usu­al­ly will only cost around half the price of a new sys­tem. This may make the ini­tial pur­chase price a lit­tle eas­i­er to swal­low, and the robot pays for itself in a short­er amount of time.

So, what do you do if you are inter­est­ed in pur­chas­ing a refur­bished robot sys­tem? You should call a robot­ics inte­gra­tor like Robots​.com, of course. Robots​.com pro­vides automa­tion solu­tions from sev­er­al dif­fer­ent robot­ics com­pa­nies, includ­ing Fanuc, Motoman, ABB, Uni­ver­sal Robots, and KUKA. We rou­tine­ly buy refur­bished robot sys­tems from com­pa­nies. Then, we strip them down and put them through a 168-point recon­di­tion­ing process that makes them good as new for the cus­tomers. After that process is com­plete, the used sys­tems are ready for cus­tomiza­tion and purchase.

If you are inter­est­ed in learn­ing more about the sav­ings that a refur­bished robot­ic sys­tem can bring your com­pa­ny, con­tact Robots​.com online or at 877−762−6881.
