Out of Production Systems
This section contains Instron® testing systems that are no longer in production. Instron has installed several hundred thousand testing systems around the world, including at 96% of the world's largest manufacturing companies, and the average age of an Instron system that we service is 18 years.
Follow the categories below to find your system and see what upgrade options are available. Some systems cannot be retrofitted due to parts shortages or obsolescence; in these cases, your local sales engineer can offer you a generous trade-in offer. To learn what each support phase means for your equipment, see our Product Life Cycle Policy.
We add to this page regularly, but many Instron products are not yet shown. Please contact us if you have questions about an Instron product that you do not see here.
