An Instron
® 8800 retrofit enables older servohydraulic and dynamic testing systems to be upgraded with the latest control electronics and
WaveMatrix™ Software for fatigue testing or dynamic tests; or
Bluehill® 2 Software for static tests. As many fatigue tester load frames are designed to last and can provide many years of reliable testing, the modernization and upgrade of the control system is a cost-effective way to extend the life of your existing installation and test using the latest techniques.
8800 upgrade packages are available for existing servohydraulic fatigue testing machines including Instron, Schenck, Dartec, MTS, Zwick, Shimadzu, Mayes, and other manufacturers.
