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A PHOENIX reconstruction converts any outdated electro-mechanical load frame into a modern Universal Testing System.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The following electronically outdated frames are excellent candidates for the MTI PHOENIX process.
