Long-term service support can be arranged for your UTM grip and fixture setup, including scheduled checkups and ongoing technical assistance to keep clamping performance consistent and reduce unplanned downtime.

A practical preventive maintenance visit for grips and fixtures is typically focused on wear items and setup integrity, for example:

• Inspecting jaw faces, wedges, pins, and threaded interfaces for wear or damage
• Verifying smooth, repeatable clamping and proper specimen alignment
• Checking pneumatic or hydraulic connections (when applicable) for leaks and proper function
• Reviewing safe operating practices and quick operator refreshers as needed

The right service interval depends on your usage rate, load levels, specimen materials, and whether you are running pneumatic or hydraulic gripping. Many labs also coordinate annual calibration support through accredited ISO laboratories for instruments that have calibration requirements.
