When industries depend on machinery every day, the health of the equipment directly affects productivity. Replacing old machines can be costly, and for some, reconditioning, preventive maintenance, and accurate calibration can save money and improve performance. In this blog, we explain why these services are important and how ProofCert and Roberts Calibration support your equipment needs.

1. Reconditioning: Extend the Life of Old Equipment

Many machines work well but become worn out with time. Reconditioning is a smart way to restore performance without buying a new unit.

Parts That Can Be Reconditioned

  • Grips & grip inserts
  • Data Acquisition hardware/software
  • Liners 
  • Hydraulic power units (HPUs) 
  • Hydraulic cylinders 
  • Connection pins 
  • Frame components like covers or carriages 

If reconditioning is not possible, the old machine can be used as a trade-in when upgrading to a new model.

2. Field Service & Mechanical Support

Breakdowns can stop production and cause losses. ProofCert provides fast and reliable field service to minimize downtime.
