Kistler offers a complete service

cover-ing every aspect of calibration:

• Test equipment calibration

• Accredited calibration laboratories

(Swiss Calibration Service (SCS) and

German Calibration Service (DKD),

ANSI ASQ National Accreditation

Board/ACLASS (US))

• Comprehensive operational testing

• Wide-ranging certification documen

-tation

Kistler Calibration Service

Established quality guidelines necessitate

regular calibration of your sensors and

measuring instruments.

Calibration determines the relation

be-tween the measured value and a reference

value. The measuring equipment used for

calibration is traceable to national

measure-ment standards and subject to

internation-ally harmonized quality assurance.

Calibration certificates document the values

measured during calibration and the

condi-tions under which it is carried out.

Depending on the situation, one of the

fol-lowing is recommended in practice:

• Kistler factory calibration

• Kistler in-situ calibration

What is calibrated?

Kistler's Calibration Service carries out

direct calibration of your:

• Force sensors and dynamometers

• Torque sensors

• Charge amplifiers

• NC joining systems with integral force

monitoring

• Process forces in the force shunt mode

or indirectly via the strain experienced

by the machine's frame

• Custom partial ranges

• Custom setups and force application

configurations

Calibration leads to

• accurate and reliable measurements,

• internationally comparable measure

-ments and

• mechanically compatible similar

products

Calibration at a Glance

How long does the calibration remain

valid?

Specification of calibration intervals is

ba-sically the responsibility of the user and

depends on how often the produced

workpieces are used and the extent to

which they affect safety.

+ Standardized calibration under

laboratory conditions

+ Continuous calibration over the entire

measuring range

+ Direct availability of our factory

infrastructure when repair or

adjustment needed

Advantages of Factory Calibration

Factory Calibration

For factory calibration, a Kistler sensor or

measuring amplifier is sent in by the

cus-tomer to the nearest Kistler Service

Cen-ter, which calibrates it in its laboratory. If

a Service Center is not equipped to

car-ry out the required calibration, it is

auto-matically passed on to a competent Kistler

laboratory. Reference standards must be

calibrated in an accredited calibration

lab-oratory. Kistler operates its own accredited

calibration laboratories for its most

com-monly encountered measurands.

(15)

Kistler Calibration Service

In-situ Calibration

The In-situ Calibration Service of the

Kistler group ensures force calibration can

be performed on the spot with minimum

downtime – whether this is in production,

development or the test facility.

What's the procedure involved?

Your Kistler service technician brings the

complete calibration unit right to the point

of use. Calibration is best carried with the

sensors mounted. This ensures all of the

factors (force shunt, operating

tempera-ture, etc.) are taken into account.

Calibration method

In-situ calibration involves loading the

frame of your machine under conditions

that are as realistic as possible. The

resul-tant output signal is recorded and

com-pared with the reference signal measured

at the same time. Depending on the

mounting situation of the measuring

sys-tem, different methods of calibration can

be used:

• Operating point calibration

• Step by step calibration at several

points

• Continuous calibration

• Calibration with adjustment

+ Minimization of the idle time of your

measuring systems and machines

+ Costs reduced by assembling sensors

in larger groups for calibration

+ No packing and shipment costs

+ No transport risks

+ Problems solved right on the spot

+ On-site expertise for service and

questioning

Advantages of In-situ Calibration

Machine capability analysis

The load is repeatedly increased to a

pre-defi ned number of points to obtain

infor-mation about the magnitude and

scat-ter of the measured variable. This is used

to determine and traceably certify the

ma-chine capability (Cm, Cmk, etc.).

Measurement traceability

One central requirement of quality

assur-ance is traceability of the utilized

measure-ment systems and references to

nation-al standards. Kistler's In-situ Cnation-alibration

Service meets these DIN EN ISO 9000

re-quirements.

What requirements have to be met?

• System availability ensured by your

scheduling

• The ambient conditions at the point

of calibration must not impermissibly

affect calibration

• The systems must be clearly identifi able

• The force application options must

match the required calibration method
