602 Upgrade

Upgrade the capabilities of the testing machine currently in your lab! Tinius Olsen’s new Model 602 Upgrade Package is designed to easily and economically increase the capabilities and performance of older hydraulically driven testing machines, using the existing load frame.

As with all testing equipment, proper maintenance, regular service and annual calibrations and verifications can extend the life of the equipment, but there comes a time when the control and indicating systems are, quite frankly, old and should be replaced.

The actual test frame may still be performing well, but the indicating system and the control system may be outdated; out of specification (9 inch dials used on some equipment no longer meet the revised ASTM E4 standard low range resolution requirements); or out of order because not only are older style repair parts and components increasingly hard to find, they are also increasingly more expensive.

To this end, Tinius Olsen offers several different upgrade packages to stretch the life of your testing machine at a fraction of the cost of a replacement machine. Not only can we upgrade Tinius Olsen machines, but also most other manufacturers’ static hydraulic testing machines.
The benefits of upgrading your system are:

Increased performance:
•	The most current electronics and control systems are
	installed enabling more accurate data to be obtained from the system.
•	A servo control system can be added to some machines
	eliminating the need for manual control of the test.
•	Software that acquires the test data and performs data
	analysis can be added to the system. This software can also control the machine if it has the appropriate controller.
Increased life:
•	Current electronics and control systems are installed on-site
	by our factory trained staff. These new electronics breathe new life into old, but sound, test frames.
•	Maintenance costs on the new system are reduced. All
	analog displays, together with earlier digital controllers and modules, are replaced with newer, less expensive, readily available digital electronics.
Increased ROI:
•	The cost to replace a similar capacity machine with a new
	machine will have a much greater impact on your budget than an upgrade will. A simple inspection is performed to make sure that the machine test frame is in acceptable condition and a variety of options will be presented based on your testing needs.
