Used Omron robot pricing
Buying a used Omron robot can reduce costs, but it comes with some trade-offs. As a rule of thumb, used models can go from 20-40% less than a new model.
Here’s what you might pay for a used model:
Why go used?
- Lower upfront cost: You can save thousands upfront, which leads to a faster return on investment.
- Quicker availability: Used robots are often available for immediate purchase, so there are no long waiting times.
What’s the catch?
- Shorter warranties: Used robots might not come with the same warranty coverage as new models. Or they may come with zero warranty at all.
- Potential for more repairs: Older models might need more frequent maintenance, so plan for higher long-term costs.
Additional costs to keep in mind
The robot’s price is just the beginning. Don’t forget to budget for these extras:
- Installation fees: Setting up the robot, training your team, and getting everything operational will add to the cost. Omron training courses tend to go for around $990 for a two-day course, but contact them directly for more info, as costs vary by course complexity.
- Accessories and add-ons: Things like grippers, vision systems, and extra sensors can add to the total price. Expect to pay around $3-5K for an OnRobot gripper, for instance.
- Maintenance costs: Keeping your robot running smoothly requires regular software updates, part replacements, and repairs. Factor these in.
How to get the best value for your Omron robot
Here are a few tips to make sure you’re getting the best deal possible:
- Stick with the experts: Omron robots are sophisticated pieces of machinery, and working with certified sellers means you get the right setup and support. Think of it like buying a car — you wouldn't want to buy a Ferrari from a guy in a back alley, would you? Certified Omron distributors offer specialized training, genuine parts, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're getting the real deal.
- Use Omron's Sysmac platform: Omron's Sysmac platform is an integrated automation platform that simplifies the programming and control of your robots and other automation equipment.
- Look for refurbished models: These offer the best of both worlds — lower prices and decent warranties.
- Check the warranty: Make sure the robot comes with a solid warranty and support package to save you money on future repairs.
- Think about ROI: Collaborative and mobile robots often offer a faster return on investment, so factor that in when deciding. Give some thought to bots like Omron’s LD Series for autonomous mobile robots, which often provide faster returns by reducing labor costs and increasing operational efficiency.
Summing up
The Omrobon robot price varies from $10,000 to over $90,000, based on the model and application. There’s an Omron robot for pretty much everything — and nearly every budget.
But don’t forget to weigh the initial price against additional costs like setup, maintenance, and accessories.
