Its amazing how many companies do not perform an inspection on a machine before they buy

Once the machine is paid for its to late. Why not have some negotiating power!

• * Companies retire machines for a reason!
• * Was the machine really in production?
• * Are the batteries in the machine going to last during shipping?

Most costly machine problems that can be found when inspecting machinery

• * Spindle
• * Ballscrews
• * Box Ways damaged or Turcite gone
• * Tool changer & pallet changer gear box rebuilds
• * Waycovers
• * Batteries dead-loss of parameters
• * Spindle drive
