Is a Refurbished Robot Right for my Business?
Refurbished robots are repaired, rebuilt, and cleaned in order to re-enter the automation market. They are also called re-manufactured, reconditioned, or rebuilt robots.
You can save a considerable amount of money by purchasing affordable refurbished robots while maintaining the same productivity levels as new ones. However, it's important to understand proper reconditioning processes and what to look out for.
6 Tips for Buying a Refurbished Robot

When purchasing refurbished robots, it is wise to choose major robotic manufacturers. Well-known products are easier to work with because they are normally higher quality. Robots.com is a resource for top brand robotic equipment from Fanuc, Motoman, KUKA, and ABB robots.
4. Consider refurbishment policies
Every robotics company has a different set of refurbishment policies and guidelines. After final inspection, a robotic system is outfitted with a full warranty. Our refurbished robotic systems are fully functional and returned to like-new condition. We guarantee an excellent product, customer support, and complimentary tech support.
5. Require a warranty
Avoid buying robots without warranties or with warranties that are less than what is considered standard for completely new robots. At Robots.com, every refurbished robot comes with a full one-year service warranty.
6. Test the robot system
It is wise to give the robot a thorough test run at the time it is received to ensure there are not any obvious problems. It is important to make sure your refurbished robot provider tests the robot under load for repeatability and sustainability to ensure your robot is ready to work.
