In the industrial world, downtime isn’t just inconvenient - it’s expensive. When a line stops, every minute counts. That’s why Automation Trader is built around one simple idea: availability meets flexibility. Our range of component conditions is designed for everyone from global manufacturers to nimble workshops, combining quality with cost-effective choices.

Brand-New, Factory-Sealed (NSB)
The gold standard. Fresh from the manufacturer, untouched and sealed in its original packaging, with a full warranty - usually 12 to 24 months. Perfect for mission-critical applications where failure simply isn’t an option. Think of it as opening a brand-new phone box - only this one smells of circuitry, not plastic wrap.
Brand-New, Open-Box (NOP)
Sometimes the box has been opened, but the part inside has never been used. These are fully functional, pristine components at a more attractive price. With a 12-month warranty, they’re the sweet spot between “brand-new” and "budget-friendly" - ideal for anyone who loves a good deal without cutting corners on performance.
Pre-Owned, Fully Tested (UNB)
Here’s where value meets practicality. These components have seen service before, but each one has been rigorously tested to ensure it’s in full working order. Great for prototypes, test benches, or emergency replacements when time is tight. Every unit comes with a 6-month warranty, because a used part can still deliver like new when it’s in the right hands.
Professionally Refurbished (REG)
Some parts are simply too good to scrap. Our refurbishment team restores them to near-factory condition, often using genuine replacement components. The result: a fully functional part at a fraction of the cost. It’s also the smart way to source rare or discontinued models, all backed by a 12-month warranty.
Repair, With the Numbers First (REP)
Not every fault means a full replacement. We provide professional repair assessments, weighing the cost of fixing against buying new. It’s straightforward, honest advice that saves both time and money - and spares you from making the wrong call in a hurry.
At Automation Trader, transparency isn’t a buzzword - it’s how we operate. Every part we sell, regardless of condition, comes from trusted manufacturers and undergoes thorough testing. So whether you need something straight from the production line, a budget-friendly open-box unit, a proven pre-owned piece, a precision-refurbished gem, or a repair that keeps your costs under control, you’ll find it here.
Because in industry, it’s not just about what works - it’s about how quickly you can get it working again.
