Keeping Legacy Test Systems Running

For decades, legacy Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems have been the backbone of testing in sectors such as aerospace, defence and industrial automation. Renowned for their reliability and precision, these systems remain vital for organisations that rely on consistent, mission-critical testing. At ATE Solutions, we recognise the importance of these systems and are committed to keeping them operational, effective and fully supported for as long as they are needed.

Supporting legacy test systems demands specialist knowledge and access to appropriate resources. At ATE Solutions, we draw on decades of experience in servicing and maintaining a broad range of legacy ATE platforms, including the renowned Marconi systems. Our expertise allows clients to extend the life of their existing test infrastructure, avoiding unnecessary disruption and costly system replacements.

Our comprehensive services include:

Refurbishment and Repair – We ensure the continued performance of legacy test systems by sourcing and replacing ageing components, upgrading hardware where appropriate, and maintaining functionality.
