Maximise Performance & Extend the Life of Your Industrial Robots
Industrial robots are built to last, but over time, components wear down, software becomes outdated, and performance declines. Instead of replacing an entire system, refurbishment restores your robot to full working order, saving you time and money.
At Global Robots, we refurbish ABB, KUKA, and FANUC robots to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and longevity. Each machine is rigorously inspected, refurbished, and tested to meet the demands of industrial automation.
What Does Refurbishment Involve?
Inspection & Diagnosis
Every robot undergoes a full mechanical and electrical assessment. Our team thoroughly inspects wear, faults, or outdated components that could affect performance. This ensures that potential issues are detected early and addressed as part of the refurbishment process.
Component Replacement & Reconditioning
Where necessary, we replace key components such as motors, cables, and batteries to restore the robot’s full functionality. Bearings, seals, and other mechanical parts are reconditioned to ensure precision movement and long-term reliability. Controllers and software are also updated to ensure compatibility with modern automation systems and to optimise performance.
Testing & Quality Control
Once refurbishment is complete, the robot undergoes full motion and load testing to verify smooth operation. Electrical safety checks are carried out to ensure compliance with industry standards, and the robot’s performance is benchmarked against OEM specifications. Only once all tests are successfully completed does the robot proceed to final certification.
Final Certification & Warranty
Every refurbished robot passes a strict quality control process before being certified for use. We provide a warranty as standard, giving you confidence in the reliability and performance of your refurbished equipment.
We also offer custom-built refurbished robots, tailored to your exact requirements.
