What is an Upgrade or Retrofit?
Upgrades and Controller retrofits allow users of electromechanical and servohydraulic testing equipment to upgrade or retrofit test frames with the latest and most advanced test controllers and software. High maintenance costs, increasing periods of downtime, and parts obsolescence are the primary reasons that companies choose to retrofit or upgrade their system. In many cases, reconditioning the system controller is the best choice, while in other cases, selecting the trade-in option provides a better solution.
How is an Upgrade Installed?
The mechanical components of the test frame are left intact while the old electronics and analog modules are replaced with all new test controllers and software. A field service engineer from TestResources installs the new controller on the existing frame located at the user’s site.
Which Test Frames can be Upgraded?
We have experience in refurbishing static electromechanical and hydraulic test machines and also servohydraulic fatigue test machines manufactured by Instron Ⓡ, MTS/Sintech Ⓡ, United Ⓡ, Tinius Olsen Ⓡ, Baldwin Ⓡ and other manufacturers. Upgrades are available based on the type of test equipment you are using.
