A reconditioned oscilloscope allows you to keep a bench operational, avoid manufacturer delays and control a technical budget without losing reliability. It's a useful solution when the aim is to quickly replace a critical device while retaining the same measurement procedures and compatibility with the existing equipment.

In less than thirty days, Axitest secured two reconditioned Rohde & Schwarz RF generators for an MBDA test bench that had become unusable.

The two giants of electronic measurement, Keysight (direct heir to HP and Agilent) and Teledyne LeCroy, have occupied a central place in R&D, teaching and metrology laboratories for decades. But while their instruments may seem comparable, their philosophies and strengths differ profoundly. This article will help you to understand their differences...

In the electrical wiring industry, every continuity or insulation test determines the safety and performance of installations.

A COFRAC audit is not just an administrative control; it is an examination of technical competence and metrological traceability. The use of reconditioned instruments is not an obstacle if each stage of preparation is controlled. With rigorous organisation, a well-monitored reconditioned instrument can be easily integrated into the ISO 17025 standard.

A CNRS laboratory was able to keep its measurement chain operational by replacing an Agilent E4446A spectrum analyser that had broken down with a reconditioned model delivered in 48 hours.

Refurbished equipment retains all its technical value if it is properly maintained. With a few simple preventive maintenance and metrological checks, it is possible to significantly extend its lifespan and guarantee its reliability.

Taking back measurement equipment at Airbus involved inventorying, sorting and upgrading equipment accumulated over several programmes. Each piece of equipment was directed towards reuse, repair or responsible dismantling with Ateliers Sans Frontières, then documented in a complete traceability system.
