Question 1

How much does a used industrial robot cost?

Accepted Answer

Used industrial robots range from £5,000 for a basic 6-axis robot arm to £80,000+ for large payload robots from FANUC, ABB, or KUKA with recent control systems. Payload capacity, reach, and control generation are the primary value factors.

Question 2

What should I check before buying a used industrial robot?

Accepted Answer

Key checks: run a diagnostic cycle to check all axes for repeatability, inspect the controller software version and support status, check the teach pendant condition, verify the cable harness condition at the base (common wear point), and request the full maintenance history.

Question 3

Can I retrain a used industrial robot for a different task?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most 6-axis robots can be reprogrammed for different applications. The main constraints are payload capacity and reach. End-of-arm tooling (EOAT) must be designed for the new task. FANUC, ABB, and KUKA all have established retraining/reprogramming service networks.

Question 4

What robot brands are easiest to integrate and support?

Accepted Answer

FANUC has the widest global support network and the largest installed base — easiest to find trained integrators. ABB and KUKA are also well-supported globally. Universal Robots (collaborative robots) are preferred for applications requiring human-robot collaboration without safety fencing.

Question 5

Is collaborative robot (cobot) equipment available on EasiMachines?

Accepted Answer

Yes — EasiMachines lists both traditional industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots). Search for Universal Robots (UR3/UR5/UR10), FANUC CRX, ABB GoFa, and Techman Robot in the Automation & Robotics category.
