Extending equipment lifetime

A remanufactured aged customer robot brings increased robot lifetime at lower investment cost. ABB remanufacturing uses original ABB property specifications, dimensional data and components with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) certified quality.

After initial inspection to ensure traceability, strict standardized operating processes are applied. Robots or parts are disassembled, and a second inspection is conducted on all individual parts following a 152-point inspection procedure for robots and controllers.

Worn parts or parts not passing inspection are recycled and replaced by genuine OEM parts. Prior to reassembly, all parts enter a thorough cleaning process. Every remanufactured customer robot property is tested to ensure “like-new” specifications, under nominal load for a minimum of 16 hours. The robot is painted prior to shipment.
