5 Advantages of Buying Refurbished Robots Over Brand-New Ones

Used industrial robots that have undergone a thorough cleaning and repair process are referred to as refurbished robots. Refurbished robots have become more common in recent years as more businesses look to benefit from automation using industrial robots.

 

Kuka refurbished robots and others offer many advantages to manufacturers of all sizes:

 

1.    Cost Saving

 

Buyers frequently look for refurbished robots because of their cost savings, which is one of their main advantages. In general, the price of a used robot is 50% less than that of a new robot. Small manufacturers can automate on a budget by using refurbished robots. Large manufacturers can still benefit from the savings, which frees up more capital for other areas of their operations.

 

2.    Quicker ROI

 

Refurbished robots are less expensive upfront than new ones, so businesses can quickly realise a return on their investment. Industrial robots are an investment that will pay off over the long run through increased output, better product quality, cheaper operational costs, and shorter cycle times. An industrial robot will recover its initial cost more quickly the less money is spent on its purchase. As a result, businesses may increase their profit margins considerably more quickly and get a higher ROI.

 

3.    A quicker turnaround

 

On the used robot market, it's not uncommon to find refurbished robots for sale. It is possible to set up the delivery of articulated robots to the customer in a short amount of time. The amount of time a buyer is without a robot can increase due to the lengthy wait and delivery timeframes for new robots or robotic systems. Purchasing a refurbished robot enables you to get the same model or one that is comparable if you're replacing an existing robot or expanding your current robotic system. This makes it simpler to integrate the robots into your existing setup.

 

4.    Familiar

 

Your operators will benefit from already being familiar with a refurbished robot if you buy one that is the same as or comparable to your current one. Additionally, the requirements for preventative maintenance will be known to your technicians.

 

5.    Reliable

 

Robots that have undergone extensive repair are inspected and tested to make sure they are fully functional. When maintained properly, factory robots can last for several years to several decades. Robots that have been refurbished offer the same advantages as new robots and are just as dependable, if not more so.

 

A refurbished robot is just as reliable as a brand-new one, so buying one does not mean you have to sacrifice quality. Refurbished robots are dependable options for automation. For some specific work, you can buy a robot with a linear track.
