The benefits of used manufacturing robots

Man­u­fac­tur­ing robots have been in ser­vice for over three decades now –weld­ing parts and han­dling and remov­ing mate­ri­als. These man­u­fac­tur­ing robot­ics are ben­e­fi­cial in sev­er­al dif­fer­ent indus­tries, includ­ing the auto­mo­tive, aero­space, defense, elec­tron­ics and con­sumer goods indus­tries. How­ev­er, there are some man­u­fac­tur­ing robots that have uses out­side of the typ­i­cal uses. These robots are spe­cial­ly designed and coat­ed to work in spe­cif­ic conditions.

Used foundry man­u­fac­tur­ing robot­ic sys­tems are engi­neered with spe­cial coat­ings and parts that are able to work well in high heat sit­u­a­tions, while freez­er man­u­fac­tur­ing robots are able to work in areas that need to stay at very low tem­per­a­tures. While these refur­bished robot man­u­fac­tur­ing sys­tems help to improve the pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of their lines, they also act to improve the safe­ty lev­els of the pro­duc­tion lines by keep­ing human work­ers out of these harsh environments.

Anoth­er used man­u­fac­tur­ing robot­ics group that may often get over­looked is the many dif­fer­ent used clean­room robots. These refur­bished robot­ic man­u­fac­tur­ers are able to work in lab­o­ra­to­ries that require low lev­els of par­ti­cles in the air. They are typ­i­cal­ly made to be dust-free and have spe­cial belts that do not release large amounts of par­ti­cles dur­ing oper­a­tion. Used clean­room man­u­fac­tur­ing robot­ic sys­tems are also put to use in the elec­tron­ics indus­try, espe­cial­ly when putting togeth­er moth­er­boards or oth­er small part man­u­fac­tur­ing where hand con­t­a­m­i­na­tion could cause issues with the parts.

Of course, as with all man­u­fac­tur­ing robots, used mod­els have the same over­all ben­e­fits of speed and accu­ra­cy, which are impor­tant when try­ing to improve the accu­ra­cy of any pro­duc­tion line. But, used man­u­fac­tur­ing robots can do it for half the price of new­er models.

Robots​.com pro­vides robots from sev­er­al dif­fer­ent com­pa­nies, includ­ing Fanuc, Motoman, KUKA, Uni­ver­sal Robots, and ABB, have sev­er­al hun­dred used man­u­fac­tur­ing robot mod­els avail­able for cus­tomiza­tion and pur­chase. Our staff will work with you to find you the right refur­bished robot and sys­tem for your bud­get and facility.
