Level Up: How do NRTC's Tiers of Robot Refurbishment Differ?
Refurbished robots undergo meticulous repair processes, rebuilding, and cleaning, readying them to continue automating operations.
NRTC's industrial robots form an important part of the manufacturing sector and a wide range of other industries. Adding them to the production line can prove worthwhile as they introduce many benefits.
One of the crucial benefits of purchasing an industrial robot is enhanced efficiency. Since they are designed for a specific process, they can finish tasks faster and better than humans. As they improve on efficiency, the robots also handle tasks that appear dangerous for humans. That helps improve employees' working conditions and safety.
While considering the many benefits that robots offer, the cost factor tends to limit most people from incorporating the robots into their operations. Refurbishing your robots allows you to save money as you get the same productivity level as a new one. Keep reading to learn more.
NRTC Robot refurbishment tiers explained
When it comes to robot refurbishment, it can be done using two different tiers – Silver or Gold. NRTC uses these two tiers, each of which has a differing implication.
1. Silver Tier
Silver Tier is the standard refurbishment approach where the robot is fully inspected and taken through basic testing. We conduct different types of tests depending on the robot type and model. Generally, we can have performance testing.

The goal behind performance testing is to determine how the robot performs in terms of stability and responsiveness under a given workload. Such a test helps us get important information about the robot's speed, reliability, robustness, and application size.
After completing all the basic tests defined under this tier, we will breathe new life into the robot by cleaning it, replacing broken parts, and conducting additional tests to ensure it performs as per the manufacturer's metrics.
Cleaning and disinfection is an important task performed under this tier of industrial robot refurbishing. Any broken parts inhibiting reliability are also promptly replaced to make it functional.
2. Gold Tier
Gold Tier is the high-end option of our two robot refurbishing tiers. It offers a complete refurbishment to like-new conditions and adds to whatever is done under the Silver Tier.
The option works best for those who would like their robot to be stripped down to its core elements and restored to its default factory conditions.
The robot would be taken apart, bit by bit, and each component keenly examined in terms of how it syncs up with the rest of the system. After the enhancements are done and your robot is put together, tested, and proven to be working under its factory conditions, it is further given a paint job. Painting your robot gives it a newer look compared to cleaning.
Should you choose Silver Tier or Gold Tier?
Choosing either Silver Tier or Gold Tier should be considered based on your needs, such as the current condition of your robot, how long you are willing to wait, and the cost factor.
Your robot can undergo standard refurbishment if it maintains optimal performance, has not presented potential safety risks, and has one or two parts that need replacement. Choose this option to put it back into production within the shortest time possible and have a minimal budget for the refurbishment job.
A robot with deteriorating performance is a good candidate for the Gold Tier. At this point, your cost comparison is between the price of a new robot and the cost of refurbishing the one you currently have. Typically, refurbishment is a more cost-effective option than buying a new robot.
