Nowadays, many professionals recommend automating factories with industrial robots because of the many advantages that are acquired in terms of profitability, high productivity, quality control, short cycle times and fast deliveries, among others.
There are several affordable options with which you can begin automating with this type of equipment. In today’s market, there are companies that provide consulting services for the purchase of second-hand industrial robots. They have specialists that guarantee the reliability and capacity of this equipment in order to avoid extra costs, seeing how they are a large investment that will be integrated into our production line. As we already know, when buying used industrial robots it is important to verify their condition with a start-up demonstration, check the number of work hours, year of production, repairs and maintenance that have been done, in order to get a realistic view of the equipment’s useful life.
Robotic technology is resistant, versatile and flexible, and often when it comes to second-hand or used industrial robots, all they need is a software update, change of parts or a final tool to begin a new process. Even by just conducting a performance analysis, you can find out where you’ll be most efficient when performing tasks. In some cases, additional equipment can be added to optimise how the robot carries out its task, maximising the performance, speed and even lifespan of the robot. These factors allow automation to remain competitive in the market.
With the advances in robotics engineering, profitable end-of-arm tools have been developed which have been successfully applied to different processes, improving productivity even in a robotic cell. These final arm effectors such as clamps or grippers, welding or paint gun, drills or milling cutter and many more, have made it so that the reconditioning of industrial robots is becoming increasingly optimal, so that this equipment can be used in different areas and production processes, and with the ability to relocate them through a simple change of the end effector.
This is a beneficial and profitable opportunity to initiate automation with used industrial robots that are provided by certified companies that guarantee the capabilities of this equipment, just as in the case of Usedrobotstrade, with its extensive experience providing advice on reconditioned industrial robots, offering the user real information on the condition and ability of the robot, and guaranteeing the availability of stock for spare parts used in the industrial robots that come from well-known brands, such as Kuka, ABB, Fanuc, Motoman and Kawasaki.
