Precautions for purchasing second-hand textile testing equipment

At present, the second-hand equipment market is booming. Among them, there is this vast market. If you want to ask where the textile testing equipment goes? Tell you that it can be dismantled, refurbished and re-applied. Secondly, it can be repaired to make good second-hand equipment for sale. At the same time, it can also be exported to underdeveloped foreign regions for continued use. Therefore, the second-hand textile testing equipment market has great growth potential. Those problems need to be paid attention to when purchasing second-hand textile testing equipment. Purchasing is somewhat different from purchasing a brand-new instrument. There are many precautions to be aware of: 1. It is best to check the instrument itself on the spot, and it is best to try it out or check it on the spot. Second-hand instruments are no better than new ones. If you don't try the second-hand instruments, you will have no idea about the quality of the instruments. No matter how cheap they are, if you buy them back, they can't be used, that is, a pile of scrap iron. 2. See if the seller has legal procedures. Some second-hand instruments may be smuggled or obtained in other ways. If the seller does not have legal procedures, some legal disputes may arise in the future. For the purchaser, this needs to be paid attention to. 3. Check whether the instrument has been overhauled. Or whether the seller has the technical strength to solve the problems of the instrument. Second-hand instruments, no matter how old or new, are wearing parts that need to be replaced before they are sold. If they are not overhauled, these wearing parts will not be replaced, and future use will cause a lot of trouble to users. If the seller does not have technical strength, how to ensure after-sales service? Fourth, look at the strength of the company. After-sales of second-hand instruments is mainly guaranteed by the seller, of course, you can also find the original instrument manufacturer or their agent. However, during the warranty period, it can only be solved by the technical personnel of the seller. 5. Seriously evaluate the value of second-hand textile testing equipment, prevent the purchased second-hand textile testing equipment from directly entering the scrapping stage or mistakenly thinking that it is an instrument that can be used continuously, and preventing losses caused by misjudgment.
