On-Site Inspections & Demonstrations

At Ron Thompson Machinery, we believe that buying a machine tool should come with complete confidence. That’s why we offer on-site inspections and live demonstrations for customers who want to evaluate a machine before making a decision. Whether you are purchasing directly from our stock or considering a sourced machine through our dealer network, we provide the opportunity to inspect the equipment in person or view it in operation through video demonstration. Our goal is simple — to give you full transparency on condition, performance, and value before you commit to purchase.

The Importance of Seeing a Machine in Action

Every machine tells its story through how it runs. A visual inspection allows you to assess accuracy, noise levels, surface finishes, and overall mechanical condition. For CNC machines, it also confirms that the control systems, tooling, and axes function as expected. By inspecting a machine on site, you gain a clear understanding of its true state and can make a fully informed decision. This service is ideal for buyers who want additional assurance when investing in precision engineering equipment. We aim to make the process straightforward and informative, giving you access to accurate information before purchase.

Our Experienced Engineers And Technicians Can

• Arrange a viewing of machinery at our premises or at the seller’s location

• Perform a full visual and operational assessment of the equipment

• Verify key details such as spindle performance, axis travel, and control functionality

• Provide photos, videos, or live demonstrations for remote buyers

• Discuss technical observations, repair requirements, or upgrade recommendations

Remote Demonstrations Available

If visiting in person is not possible, we can provide live video demonstrations or recorded walkthroughs of the machine in operation. Each demonstration covers the control panel, movement of axes, spindle speeds, and any available tooling. This flexible approach allows international clients to verify machine performance without travel.

Why Customers Trust Our Inspections

With over four decades of experience in the machine tool trade, Ron Thompson Machinery has developed a reputation for honesty and precision. Our team knows what to look for, how to evaluate wear, and how to determine real market condition. That expertise ensures that every inspection and demonstration provides genuine insight, not just a surface overview.
