You can upgrade any brand test machine!
Are you using outdated and unsupported software? Have you considered upgrading your test machine but don’t know where to start? Well, look no further! Avoid lengthy and unexpected downtime by upgrading your existing test machine.
After years of service, you might find that your test system doesn’t meet your testing requirements anymore. That is very common as testing capacity expands, standards change, or electronic components breakdown. You should not have to replace your test system just because it’s older and the technology is out-of-date. We give you the option to simply upgrade your current machine with a new controller so that you can benefit from new technology and up-to-date innovations. It doesn’t matter if you have a TestResources test machine or another brand, we can help. You can upgrade your static electromechanical and hydraulic test machines and also servohydraulic fatigue test machines manufactured by InstronⓇ, MTS/SintechⓇ, UnitedⓇ, Tinius OlsenⓇ, and other manufacturers.
Contact us if you are considering to upgrade your test machine. We will help you decide if an upgrade is right for you or not. We will compare a variety of different options based on budget, requirements and future goals. We have many different types of upgrades, from controllers to accessories and everything in between.
What is a Test Machine Upgrade or Retrofit?
Upgrades and controller retrofits allow you to extend the life of an existing electromechanical and servohydraulic test machine. Upgrading enables you to take advantage of the latest technology and advances in computing technology and changes to testing standards. High maintenance costs, increasing periods of downtime, and parts obsolescence are the primary reasons that you might choose to retrofit or upgrade your system. In many cases, reconditioning your system controller is the best choice, while in other cases, selecting the trade-in option provides a better solution.

How Much Does it Cost to Upgrade a Test Machine?
Upgrading your existing test machines can save you as much as 75% compared to purchasing a brand new machine. Think of what you could do with all that savings?!
Which Test Frames Can be Upgraded?
We have experience with static electromechanical and hydraulic test machines and also servohydraulic fatigue test machines manufactured by InstronⓇ, MTS/SintechⓇ, UnitedⓇ, Tinius OlsenⓇ, and other manufacturers. Upgrades are available based on the type of test equipment you are using. Since electromechanical test frames and components tend to have a long life but computer and software platforms tend to become outdated or unsupported in ten to fifteen years, you can simply upgrade instead of replacing the entire system.
