What is a refurbished robot?
A refurbished robot is a robot that has been previously used by another company and was then sent to a robotics integrator. These can be easily restored, which can then extend its lifespan to that of a new robot. It can then be re-integrated into the manufacturing world performing the same, or different, task as before.
Refurbished robots should undergo thorough inspections, be stripped down and properly cleaned, worn or faulty parts replaced, grease replaced, wiring and cables checked, and finally tested and repainted.
How do you trust the quality of refurbishment?
Not every refurbisher handles refurbishment the same. It is important to understand what is completed throughout the process and know what measures that company takes to ensure quality is preserved.
A good way to validate a refurbishing company’s product and services is to check for certifications. Another great way to measure quality and build trust is the amount of experience, past customer satisfaction, and their ability to evolve over time.
How much money can you save?
The difference in price alone is enough to sway many customers to buying a refurbished robotic option. Customers can save 30 – 40% or more when choosing a refurbished option. This can mean a lot for a smaller company that doesn’t get the benefit of large volume discounts. They can buy a refurbished robotic system at a fraction of the cost of buying new and remain competitive in their market. Check out our ROI calculator to see how much you can save.
