Reconstructions

MTI - PHOENIX

A PHOENIX reconstruction converts any outdated electro-mechanical load frame into a modern Universal Testing System.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The following electronically outdated frames are excellent candidates for the MTI PHOENIX process.

Instron :	TT-B	TT-C	TT-D	TT-KE	TT-B-L	TT-C-L	TT-D-L
	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 )

Tinius Olsen:	Series 2000	Series 10000	Lo-Cap ( 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.

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.

Reconstructed Universal Testing Systems

The photo above is 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!
