  • What is the warranty period for your various sheet metal processing equipment? What does the warranty cover?

    All of our standard equipment (flexible bending centers, CNC turret punch presses, press brakes, and laser cutting units) comes with a one-year free warranty. For some highly complex automated systems, the warranty period can be extended to 18 months. The warranty covers the repair and replacement of quality issues with core components (such as servo motors, CNC systems, and guide rails). Note: Failures caused by human error, force majeure, or failure to follow the maintenance manual are not covered, but paid repair services are always available.

  • For long-term use, is the warranty extended? How are extended warranty plans formulated?

    Yes, extended warranties are available, ranging from 1 to 3 years. These plans are customized based on the equipment type, frequency of use, and your specific needs. A one-year extension for a single device typically costs approximately 3%-5% of the total price, while bulk extensions for multiple devices or full lines offer significant discounts. During the extended warranty period, customers also receive a free annual comprehensive equipment inspection and maintenance service to proactively identify potential faults.
