WHY MTI SYSTEMS?  
 

MTI Electromechanical Universal Testing Machine Systems are offered in ten standard capacities ranging from 5 kN to 450 kN (1,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds) force. All systems are fully computer controlled, and include a state-of-the-art Pentium IV computer data-acquisition and control system with full PC features and capability including data-base analysis and networking. Testing can be controlled based upon Displacement, Load, Stress or Strain.

MTI - PHOENIX

Reconstructed Universal Testing Systems 

This is a photo of a 40 year old Instron model TT-C universal testing system, truly a classic in the field of materials testing, before undergoing a PHOENIX Reconstruction.  DON’T junk it just because a vacuum tube can no longer be found!

Our PHOENIX Reconstruction Process consists of:

  • Stripping the frame to basic structural components.
  • Discarding all sheet metal coverings, electronic modules, the drive motor and nearly everything else except the reaction framework and drive screws.
  • Reconditioning all mechanical parts as required.
  • Installing a new servo motor and power amplifier and control electronics sub-systems.
  • Recovering the now ‘New’ frame in an attractive new sheet metal housing.

And Finally, integrating the MTI C-DAS Data Acquisition and Machine Control System to produce a modern, computer controlled Universal Testing System resulting in the system pictured below, or a similarly enhanced system depending upon the make and model frame undergoing the reconstruction process.
 

A PHOENIX reconstruction converts any outdated electro-mechanical load frame into a modern Universal Testing System. Your savings are even greater because you can still utilize your existing load cells, extensometers and all of your present testing fixtures after they undergo refurbishment as part of your system. 

The following electronically outdated frames are excellent candidates for the MTI PHOENIX process.

                        1113   1114   1115   1116   1117   1123   1125   1127   1128 

                        1131   1133   1135   1137-10   1137-30 

                        4202   4204   4206   4208   4501  4502   4505   4507 

                        6021   6022   6025   6027    (  and others )

SATEC/Baldwin:      T1000   T2000   T5000   T10000   T20000 

                                    20UD - 100UD  ( and  Others )

Riehle:                       FS-20   FS-30   FS-60   FS-60W

United Testing:         S/FM-1   S/FM-10   S/FM-20   S/FM-30   S/FM-60

                                     S/FM-110   TM-1   TM-10   TM-20   ( and  Others )

If your machine is not listed above, but is a screw-drive system, then it is probably still a PHOENIX candidate -- so please call and ask.  

Contact MTI to find out all of the details — things such as automatic encoding of force and strain and displacement signals at up to 24-bit resolution! You don’t see any adjustment knobs on an MTI system because the computer does it all for you. Testing is completely controlled and results are processed and displayed instantaneously.
