I'm considering a refurbished Fairino FR5 for fixture-to-tray transfer with a machined polymer puck in a workshop test cell because the price is attractive.
Although the listing describes it as inspected, I haven't been shown what that covered.
I'd like to establish which checks and records matter before I spend money on collection.
It would help to know whether you've a condition assessment or only a list of replaced items. What documentation has the seller supplied beyond the listing?
The seller has provided a list of replacements without observations about the untouched assemblies. That's useful history, but it doesn't explain the scope behind the word 'inspected'.
@AmyCarter0989 Request the unit-specific inspection scope and a complete inventory of what's included.
You can then make a qualified condition assessment and a demonstration relevant to your application conditions of purchase.
@WillBaker0487 I'm unsure how to read 'refurbished'. Does that description establish that the entire unit was assessed, or do you still need the detailed scope?
You need the underlying scope to know what the description means here. Request the checks performed, their results and anything excluded for this particular unit.
@WillBaker0487 When I bought a used arm for my setup, an itemised inventory revealed that a cable we needed wasn't included. Identifying it made the extra cost straightforward to establish.
Photos helped with mine, alongside an itemised list. Have them identify the controller, pendant, cables and included software access rather than relying on the group photo.
@VictorChen1142 We've some useful maintenance history in the replacement list. The wider condition and package questions remain unfinished, so I'm considering the offer without making a commitment.
