The following 4 points are the most common questions we are asked when we send out
Okuma parts to our customers, and we suggest that you check them every time before you make a purchase.
1. Is the Model Number Correct? Can They Be Used Universally?
Not all Okuma parts are interchangeable between different series. For example, the same servo amplifier that fits an OSP-P200M system may not fit an older OSP5000 system.
It is best to check this before ordering:
* The model of your machine (e.g. LU300-M, LB3000EX)
* The version of the control system (OSP-E100L, OSP-P300S, etc.)
* Parts number on the original (this is the most critical)
If you are not sure, just take a picture and send it to us. We have a database to check and can help you find a replacement model.
2. Is There Any Problem with the Appearance? Is It Refurbished?
Don't look at the surface, in fact, many pitfalls are hidden in the details. For example, the ports are cracked, the labels have fallen off, the terminals are oxidized, and there are traces of repair on the solder joints, all of which may affect the subsequent use.
You can ask the seller:
* This piece is used? Refurbished? Or brand new stock?
* There is a real picture or not? It is best to shoot clearly from all angles.
* Has it been re-cleaned? Has it been repacked?
At Songwei, we have a condition statement for each item, and we can provide you with photos of the actual item, so you don't have to guess.
3. Has It Been Tested? Is There a Warranty?
The most dreaded thing is "alarm before installation”. Many accessories are labeled as "available”, but in fact, they are only energized and have not been tested under load conditions.
We suggest you to check the following points:
* Has it been tested on a dedicated Okuma test bench?
* Has it been tested under running condition?
* Is there a warranty? Even if it is 30 days. Songwei has a 12-month warranty at least.
We will test the signal, operation, and communication of every accessory in our warehouse to make sure there is no problem before shipping. If you need, you can also get the test report.
4. Is the Seller Reliable? Is There Any Real Inventory?
Nowadays, there are a lot of "intermediary sellers” in this industry, with hundreds of models listed on the internet, but in fact there is nothing. There is an order to find goods everywhere, delay your time not to mention, may also send you a disassembled parts to cope with a little.
Reliable suppliers should:
* Warehouses have real goods, can always take pictures to show you.
* Can be quickly shipped, do not have to delay a week or two.
* Have engineers to support you in selecting a model or solving installation problems.
We, Songwei, have our own warehouse, test line and a team of engineers who can provide technical assistance and diagnostic services in addition to the parts themselves. Now our Okuma accessories happen to have a discount, welcome to inquire.
To Summarize:
Buying used Okuma parts is actually not that difficult. As long as you confirm the model, appearance, testing and seller's professionalism in advance, you can greatly reduce the risk of mistakes and save money.
