The Importance of Tool Calibration

THE IMPORTANCE OF CALIBRATION

Calibration is often thought to be confined to the accuracy and precision of TOOLS.  However, it is much more to do with ensuring that your TOOLS continue to work both SAFELY and with maximum EFFICIENCY.  Our COMPLETE CALIBRATION SERVICE is a simple way to keep compliant and keep productive.

WHAT IS CALIBRATION?

CALIBRATION is defined as “determining and documenting the difference in readings given by a TOOL compared to a fixed TOOL that is known to be accurate”.  In practice you are sure to have noticed that the performance of any POWER TOOL tends to drift over time,  resulting in a loss of accuracy. You are consistently setting the same TORQUE VALUE but the tool feels like it is not working quite as well, this is because the measured value has started to differ.

COMPLETE CALIBRATION SERVICE

We’ve developed a range of CALIBRATION SERVICES for our customers, to ensure that TOOLS continue to work at their best.

All CALIBRATIONS are carried out to ISO9001 by our FULLY TRAINED and HIGHLY EXPERIENCED In-House Engineers.  They will complete a thorough calibration to check that all values are within acceptable tolerance levels.  Any necessary adjustments will be made and your TOOL will be restored to its original accuracy.

Once completed a CALIBRATION CERTIFICATE will be issued and returned with your tool.
