Upgrade Instron System
Do you have a testing machine in your lab that looks outdated or functions slow. Well, Instru-Met can revive the older Instron™ Material Test Systems to become a productive machine in your lab. Our retrofit process consists of completely rewiring your test frame to accept a new controller and high resolution encoder for precise crosshead positioning and speed control.
