Today, the benefits of using industrial robots for repetitive tasks or for difficult or dangerous work such as lifting heavy objects, welding, painting and handling chemicals are well known.

Additionally, manufacturing professionals know the difficulty in hiring enough skilled production worker for many jobs such as welding.

Also, robots with the aid of vision systems, sensors and other devices are able to be quickly perform certain tasks that would be very time consuming or impossible for a person to perform.

These reasons are all great to use an industrial robot, but what are the advantages of purchasing a used or rebuilt robot rather than a brand new one?

 

 

The obvious answer's is that the quality of used or rebuilt robot that costs less than the new robot, generally from 50 to 70% less.  Although the buyer needs to make sure that the technological advantages of the new robot do not outweigh the initial cost savings of a used robot, for many applications like "bells and whistles application" of a new robot simply do not add value to the project.

Used and rebuilt robots can be an especially good values in industries that are hard on robots, such as foundries, die casting and thermal spray. 

Used and rebuilt robots can be also a great fit for small to mid-sized businesses where the capital investment of a new robot is just not feasible.

These entrepreneurially minded businesses know they need to automate in order to survive, but they also need get the most out of every capital dollar they invest.

At KHS Robot, we specialize in assisting these small to mid-sized companies in their automation projects, from determining whether an automation projects makes sense all the way through training, integration and programming.
