Regular calibration to ensure stable production and inspection quality
If a company is certified according to ISO 9001, the testing equipment used must be monitored at a fixed time interval. The downtimes for calibration must be kept to a minimum. If calibration of the testing equipment is carried out in an external laboratory, a reliable partner from the region is required who can offer fast service. We have therefore set up calibration laboratories at our headquarters in Olching, Germany.
Regular calibration of measuring instruments is necessary because such instruments are subject to drift over time due to the aging process and environmental influences. With precisely calibrated measuring instruments, a company can increase the quality of its own products. Less rejects and less reworking create satisfied customers.
During calibration, our experts compare the measuring instrument with standards that can be traced back to national standards using a predefined procedure. Deviations are documented and, if necessary, corrected by adjusting the system.
Laser Power Detectors and Energy Measuring Heads
The central European calibration laboratory for Gentec-EO’s laser power and energy measuring devices is located at LASER COMPONENTS. The measurement setup is identical to that of the manufacturer and is regularly validated by comparative calibrations.
We always calibrate using a gold standard and only use standardized references calibrated by NIST or PTB. The results are documented on a detailed calibration certificate.
Display Units
The Gentec-EO display units can also be calibrated in Germany. Standardized measuring instruments ensure that the electrical signals received by the monitor are correctly converted and that the displays correspond to the actual measurement results.
Our calibration laboratory tests display units of the following series: MAESTRO, UNO, P-Link USB/RS-232, Solo PE/Solo2, DUO, and TPM300-CE.
Fiber Optic Attenuation Measurement Systems
We calibrate fiber optic attenuation measurement systems from AFL, Greenlee, Optotest, and VIAVI Solutions. Based on documented calibration procedures, the instruments are compared with standard systems or standard measuring devices.
The calibration certificate confirms that these references correspond to the national standards of the German Calibration Service (DKD) and PTB. All calibrations meet the requirements of DIN ISO 9001.
