Re-Certification Service

The re-certification service uses the evaluation results to bring your robot back to OEM specifications. The service includes complete disassembly of each axes or assemblies that did not pass the tests performed during the robot evaluation. The intent of this process is to further identify any non-conforming items which may otherwise be difficult to detect. The re-certification service will correct all non-conformities identified. Testing and validation is performed to ensure that the robot(s) meet original factory specifications.

Re-Certification Service consists of four processes:

Robot Restoration Services

This service is recommended for robots that have been in production for over 31,000 hours. This service would consist of a complete overhaul of the robot which entails replacement of the wrist, cable set, all motors, and all RVs. FANUC America does not generally recommend a complete overhaul due to the prohibitive cost. The robot restoration service will bring the robot back to FANUC factory standard specifications and once completed will result in a full one-year robot warranty.

Repurposing Services

Sometimes the application you purchased the robot for changes. Instead of purchasing a new robot, let our FANUC Certified Robot Reapplication repurpose it, by converting hardware and or software the robot to meet your new application needs. Contact us at [email protected], or fill out the contact us form below to discuss your changing application. We will need the F# of the robot and if possible the F# of a robot that already has the desired hardware and software.
