Comprehensive second-hand stamping machine inspection service in PRESTEC
In the Vietnamese market, the sale and use of second-hand stamping machines is very exciting. However, in most cases, customers cannot guarantee the quality of the second-hand presses that they decide to invest in. Putting an second-hand machine in unknown condition into production right away is a common mistake. Most of the second-hand presses on the market have suffered from serious quality problems, which need to be checked and repaired before being put into use. The immediate use without inspection and repair can make the damage of the machine worse, difficult to recover, and if it can be restored, the cost is very high and very time consuming. It is a wise decision to inspect the press machine immediately after buying a used press machine.
