Used Industrial Robot
The idea of automating your factory with a robot is exciting. The thought of buying a used robot, however, can bring a wave of uncertainty. We get it. Common myths and fears about used equipment—like inheriting someone else's problems or getting a machine with no support—can hold you back.
At Keyleerkart, we believe that buying a used industrial robot should be a smart, safe, and transparent process. We specialize in high-quality German-engineered robots and want to tackle these common misconceptions head-on, showing you why a refurbished robot can be your most reliable and cost-effective choice.
Myth 1: "Used" means "as-is" with no warranty or support.
This is the biggest misconception, and it's where the difference between a reputable dealer and an online auction seller becomes critical.
The Keyleerkart Solution: We don't just sell used robots; we provide peace of mind. Every robot from our inventory undergoes a meticulous 168-point reconditioning process (the same as what a leading robot refurbisher uses) to ensure it meets its original performance specifications. We replace worn-out parts, clean and re-lubricate all components, and conduct rigorous testing under load. That’s why we confidently back our robots with a comprehensive warranty, technical support, and the promise of a reliable, long-lasting investment.
Myth 2: I'll be on my own for service, spare parts, and troubleshooting.
A robot is a long-term investment, and the ability to service it is crucial. Many fear that used robots are obsolete and difficult to get parts for.
The Keyleerkart Solution: We understand that a robot is only as good as the support behind it. As a specialized dealer, we have established relationships with part suppliers and a network of skilled technicians. We actively manage a spare parts inventory for the German brands we sell (like KUKA), ensuring you can keep your automation running with minimal downtime. Our support team is always available to assist with technical questions, giving you the security and after-sales service you need to protect your investment.
Myth 3: I'll be inheriting someone else's problems.
A used machine can feel like a gamble. You might worry about undisclosed faults, poor maintenance history, or "lemons" that were simply offloaded by a previous owner.
The Keyleerkart Solution: Our commitment to quality is our greatest assurance. Our reconditioning process is a complete reset for the robot. We don't just inspect; we rebuild and test to OEM standards. We verify the robot’s maintenance records, check operational hours, and perform diagnostics to identify and replace any parts showing signs of excessive wear. We ensure the robot is fully functional and ready to perform, eliminating the risk of inheriting a previous owner's issues.
Myth 4: The robot's software or documentation will be missing.
Robot systems are a combination of hardware and software. Without the correct documentation, manuals, or software licenses, a used robot can be useless.
The Keyleerkart Solution: We ensure that every robot we sell comes with all the necessary documentation to get it running. We also assist you in verifying software compatibility with your application and provide guidance on any licensing requirements. Our goal is to make your integration process as smooth as possible, which starts with providing you a complete, fully documented package.
Your Confidence Checklist: What to Look For When Buying a Used Robot
To feel confident in your purchase, we recommend a simple checklist:
1. Is the Seller Reputable? A trusted dealer, like Keyleerkart, will have a proven track record, deep industry expertise, and a commitment to transparency. Avoid auctions or unverified online marketplaces that offer little to no guarantees.
2. What is the Robot’s History? Ask about maintenance records and operational hours. A well-maintained robot can perform reliably for 100,000 hours or more, even if it’s a decade old.
3. What is the Reconditioning Process? Not all "refurbished" robots are created equal. A comprehensive reconditioning process is non-negotiable. It's the only way to ensure the robot is not just cleaned, but fully repaired, tested, and restored to its original factory performance.
4. Is There a Warranty & Support? A reputable seller should always offer a warranty and clear channels for after-sales service and technical support. This is your safety net.
Buying a used industrial robot is a strategic decision that can save you a significant amount of money and accelerate your automation journey. By partnering with a company that prioritizes quality, transparency, and support, you can bust the myths and make a confident, intelligent investment.
