Buy-back

Sell your old robot to ABB

If you have an ABB robot or peripheral equipment that are no longer in use or if you are looking to upgrade your robots, then ABB’s buyback service is the way to go. Selling an old robot instead of scrapping it not only helps your business make some money, but also contributes to creating a more sustainable manufacturing environment by recycling old equipment.

With our simple three-step process, you can rest assured that you are going to get a great deal.

How it works

Step 1: Pricing

Sharing as much detail about the robot you wish to sell, such as photographs, can help us determine the right price for the equipment.

Step 2: Contract

A single team will handle the entire buyback, ensuring a quick and efficient process. Once you and ABB have settled on the price, we draw up a purchase order and that’s it.

Step 3: Collection

Once all the paper work is done, ABB will organize the pick-up of the robot from your factory. All you have to do is simply load the robot onto to truck.

Some details we require are:

Serial numbers of the robot
Indicate whether you want to sell peripheral equipment
Number of hours in operation
Applications the robot was used for
Location of the robot

Second life into old robots

Upcycling old robots – the whole process

ABB is the one-stop shop for buying and selling previously-owned robot systems across the globe. Choose from a wide variety of remanufactured robots for a range of applications including painting, welding, palletizing and manipulation. With over 500 ready-to-ship remanufactured robots in stock, you are sure to find the right robot for all your automation needs. ABB has extensive expertise in remanufacturing robots and over the last 25 years, ABB has breathed new life into 12,000 remanufactured robots.

Every pre-owned robot is carefully remanufactured by certified ABB technicians to bring them to “like-new” condition. That means the same performance, speed, precision and safety as a new ABB robot, at a more cost-effective price.

Who can buy a remanufactured robot?

Whether you are just getting started on building a robotic automation setup for your business or on a tight budget, a remanufactured robot may be the best option for you. If you want a robot that ABB no longer manufactures, the remanufacturing team might be able to source a suitable robot for you.

How is a robot remanufactured by ABB different from others?

Unlike third-party refurbishers who only paint the robot, ABB completely remanufactures its robots using original ABB design plans, technical specifications and manufacturer data. This guarantees that the robots offer the same levels of performance and safety as a new ABB robot. All robots are backed by a 24-month warranty.

How do I buy a remanufactured robot from ABB?

Buying a remanufactured robot from ABB is easy. ABB operates a network of remanufacturing centers in the Czech Republic, the United States, China, Vietnam, Brazil, Germany and Mexico that serve the entire world. Simply contact your local ABB branch and they will put you in touch with experts from the remanufacturing teams. Together we evaluate your needs and help you buy the right remanufactured robot.
