With thousands of Dynatup and legacy CEAST-branded impact testing systems installed worldwide, Instron has long been at the leading edge of impact testing innovation. With proper preventive maintenance, these frames can remain in service for many years and can benefit greatly from new testing software. However, some older systems cannot be retrofitted; in these cases, your local sales engineer can offer you a generous trade-in offer.

Use the tables below to find your system and see what upgrade options are available. To learn what each support phase means, see our Product Life Cycle Policy.
