MODEL COMPARISON

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.
