ReNew™ Upgrades

Upgrade or add capability to your existing static test system to optimize performance. For your older test system, an MTS ReNew upgrade replaces the outdated controls with state-of-the-art MTS digital controls and MTS TestSuite™ Software running on a Windows 10 PC. For your existing universal test machine (UTM), you can add a touchscreen user interface  or custom-designed fixtures, or integrate third party accessories.

Full Product Information

A ReNew upgrade typically takes 2-3 days. An MTS field service engineer removes the existing controls and electronics and replaces with MTS hardware. The FSE then configures the system hardware and software and verifies calibration on all sensors: force, displacement, crosshead speed and strain. When the upgrade is complete, you will receive training on system operation.

 

For custom fixtures & systems, please contact MTS to discuss build and delivery options.
