From installation to testing in record time.

We recently completed the installation of a reconditioned 5kN Instron Model 4201 for a valued customer, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

While many expect a long lead time for specialized testing equipment, our team delivered a fully retrofitted 5kN system updated with a New Precision Drive System and the latest MTGenius materials testing software by Frank Bacon Machinery Sales Co.

The result? The customer was performing their first tensile tests on day one.

Reconditioned equipment doesn't just save budget; when done right, it delivers modern performance with immediate uptime.
