I've found a refurbished UR5e at a price we could manage for our moulded-housing transfer. The seller sent a video of it moving an empty tool between two points and called that the inspection. I asked for the inspection scope and got the same video in better quality.
I'm happy to pay for a proper look at a promising used arm, but I don't want collection costs committed first. What would you expect to receive before deciding it's worth a visit?
What did an 'inspected' used UR5e actually get tested with?

The fault history and what they did about it. A moving arm can still come with a support headache nobody has priced.
12分Who inspected it, and against what checklist? Start there.
5分I'd go further than another video. Ask for a priced inspection visit with someone competent to examine that particular arm, and agree what access they get. Otherwise you can spend your visit watching the seller repeat the same empty move.
16分Daniel, I'd first ask for the existing report and identification photos; that costs little and might settle whether a paid visit is worthwhile.
17分Also, is the tool in the video included? Surprising how often it becomes scenery.

Jack and Chloe, I now have their checklist. Serial number matches the photos, but it only records an empty movement check and an external visual check. Louis, the tool is borrowed and excluded. Glad I asked before putting it into our cost sheet.
10分What support comes after collection? Specifically, who answers when it stops on your evening shift?
1分Chloe, yes, get that first. Rachel has something concrete now, and it sounds like a basic sale check rather than the detailed examination she was expecting. I'd still budget an independent visit if the numbers work.
13分Rachel, have you seen the control equipment that's supplied with it? One complete photo would be useful. Don't let a video of the arm be the only picture of what you're buying.
23分Would they let your inspector examine it before you pay the balance?
-4分Thomas, they will allow a visit, but won't agree to reserve it without a payment they describe as non-refundable. Morgan, support is by email and their offer doesn't include on-site help. Leah, they've sent the equipment photo now; I'm asking the inspector to check that list against it.
13分Our pre-shipment demo also needed more than a photo of the fitted tool. Would this seller handle your housing during the visit, with agreed tooling, or is another empty cycle all they're offering?
13分I wouldn't ship your only good sample to find out.
10分Email support alone wouldn't kill it for me if you have someone local. Do you? That changes the bill quite a lot.
14分Ravi, no local support arrangement yet. I've costed the independent inspection and the tooling separately now, and the gap to our other option is much smaller. David, the seller won't commit to a housing trial before payment. That's the part I can't get comfortable with.
1分Then declining it is a reasonable result of the checks; you don't need to discover a broken joint to decide the purchase doesn't suit you.
12分We've passed on it. No payment made, collection cancelled before booking. I told the seller our reason was the combination of uncertain support and no agreed handling trial, not an allegation that the arm was faulty. Thanks, Chloe. I had started treating walking away as wasted effort.
19分The inspection questions did their job. Keep them for the next candidate.
