When buying a second-hand robot, the biggest issues are less about brand/size than about support. For instance, there are lots of KUKA KRC1s and VKRC1s on the market -- buying these is probably a bad idea, due to the age of these units and difficulty in getting parts or support. Unless you can buy a large number of them, with the intent of using the extras for spare parts.
Older controllers also have issues with finding people who remember how to use or service them. There are also problems with updating their software to use the most advanced functions -- for example, I don't believe a KRC1 can be updated to use RSI (realtime motion control via FieldBus or TCP/IP), which is required to use the MATLAB KUKA Control Toolkit. Buying an older controller can leave you "stuck" with a robot that is too far behind the times.
Cheap secondhand robots can also be "niche" models. The VKRCs, for example, are a special Volkswagen-only version of the KUKA controller that, IMO, is a huge pain to work with, and not worth the trouble, unless you can "strip" the Volkswagen-specific elements out and make it into a "stock" KUKA (possible, but tricky).
My standard advice to anyone buying old robots is to only buy ones that you can buy several of -- you want at least 1 "spare parts" robot for every few robot you plan to actually make use of. To make this work, you need to ensure that the robots you are buying are all hardware-compatible -- buying a "mixed lot" is asking for trouble.
Make sure that each robot is fully functional before buying. Each robot should come with manuals, complete install disks for its software, and electrical diagrams. If not, either don't buy, ensure you have an alternate source for same and use the lack to squeeze a lower price out of the seller.
Thanks for your helpful reply
its definitely informative and interesting. Robotic equipment is highly flexible and can be customized to perform even complex functions.
