Calibration & Repair

Keep your test kit trustworthy, and keep working while it's away

An instrument that has drifted does not tell you it has drifted, it just quietly signs off bad fibre. We manage calibration, repair and RMAs for the test equipment we supply, whoever needs to do the work, and we can put a loan unit in your hands so nothing stops.

Test instruments being calibrated
Why it matters

A measurement is only worth what its calibration is worth

Acceptance testing, warranty claims and handover packs all rest on the assumption that the instrument was right. Once a calibration has lapsed, every result it produced afterwards is arguable, and re-testing a route is far more expensive than staying in date.

  • Defensible results. A certificate with a date on it, when a customer or an auditor asks.
  • Catch drift early. Adjustment records show you which units are wandering and which are solid.
  • Fewer surprises. Faults found on the bench, not halfway up a mast on a Friday.
  • One contact. Multi-vendor fleets go through us instead of through six service portals.

Process

How a calibration runs

Where the work happens depends on the instrument. What does not change is that you deal with one person here and always know where your kit is.

1

Tell us what you have

Model and serial number, and when it was last done. We come back with the route, the turnaround and the cost.

2

We route it correctly

Some instruments are handled here; others go to the manufacturer's own accredited service centre. We tell you which before anything moves.

3

Collection and tracking

Packed, collected and tracked, with one person here who knows where your kit is and can tell you.

4

Back, with the paperwork

Returned with its certificate and any adjustment record, ready to go back on the van or into the rack.

What we cover

Across the whole portfolio, not just one brand

We distribute more than 30 vendors, so a mixed fleet is the normal case here rather than the awkward one. If it is test equipment and it is on your shelf, ask.

While it's away

Don't stand a crew down for a calibration

The usual reason kit goes out of date is that nobody can spare it for a fortnight. So take a loan or hire unit for the window, and send yours in when it suits the schedule instead of when it has already lapsed.

  • Loan and hire units from the same range, configured the way yours is.
  • Stagger the fleet so you never have several instruments out at once.
  • Reminders before it lapses, not an invoice afterwards.
