The benefits of used and reconditioned machinery

machine reconditioning, whether for a single machine or a complete line, and can assess the current condition of machinery and offer advice for upgrades. Its experienced staff can clean, paint, recondition and install, as well as train staff, ensuring the machine is running efficiently.

capacity of 170x7mm round tube, (6" gas). It is suitable for heavy-duty purpose fabricating and roll bending a wide variety of materials and shapes, including pipe, tube, angle iron, channels and extrusions. The CE120H3-RLI A-frame is engineered for strength and manufactured from spheroidal cast iron. 100mm tooling shafts are forged for greater strength than traditional machined and hardened shafts, resulting in minimal deflection and greater accuracy when rolling. Hydraulic centre roll programmable position with digital read-out allows the operator to easily monitor tooling location and create repeatable parts. The machine is designed to roll in to their specifications, or buy in ‘as-is’ condition. Another benefit of buying used or reconditioned machinery is the cost saving. Universal Tube & Rollform and Universal Controls Group work together to build new drive systems, die accelerators, drives and other accessories to retrofit existingmachinery in almost any industrial environment, and can offer a complete turnkey system, from initial design to start-up. The company specialises in complete

WHEN buying a used or reconditioned machine, lead times are generally much shorter, specifically because you do not have to wait for the machine to be built. Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment stocks quality machines that were built to last. The average lead time for a reconditioned machine is 12 to 14 weeks, and the company has many machines in stock that are in running condition, ready to go without any updates. Customers have the option to choose what they need and have it updated
