Insights for buyers of pre-owned welding cells
Buying guides, welding process deep-dives and refurbishment standards — written for engineers and procurement managers evaluating second-hand robotic welding cells.
Why a refurbished welding cell beats a new one — on most projects
A refurbished robotic welding cell delivers 90% of the capability of a new one at 40–60% of the cost — and ships in weeks, not months. From 25 years of trading welding cells, here's the honest case for refurbished, the cases where new is the right answer, and the numbers that make the decision concrete.
MIG/MAG vs Laser welding: which is right for your application?
We catalog only MIG/MAG and laser welding cells in our Bilbao warehouse — the two processes that dominate robotic welding. Here's the same decision framework we use with buyers: thickness, throughput, material, budget. With concrete numbers and a look at what's actually moving in the second-hand market.
How we evaluate every welding cell before it enters our catalog
In 25 years and 120+ cells delivered, we've learned that the difference between a good used welding cell and a regretted purchase is almost always visible during inspection. This is the same 7-point protocol our engineers run on every cell that enters our Bilbao warehouse — published so you can use it on any supplier.
