The Accu-Check Linear Calibration Standard

  Advanced Instrument Mfg. is offering a linear calibration standard for “in house” calibration verification. This is one of the standards AIM uses in it’s own calibration procedures, and is now available to the customer to verify calibration between calibrations.

 Why verify between calibrations?

 The leading cause of inspection systems that go out of calibration is relocation of the system. We suggest that every time an inspection tool is moved, a calibration check be preformed. This is also a great indicator if your tool has been damaged in transit.

  If your product failure rate increases or decreases outside of normal parameters, a calibration check should be preformed to make sure that the problem isn’t the inspection tool.

  Most inspection systems have calibration compensation. An operator can accidentally erase or change that number. With some DRO's if power has been off for too long, linear compensation can be erased.

  Your company might be half a world away from AIM and you may need an emergency calibration that day. Our response time is excellent, but with new delays in travel, it can be some time before we could be at your facility.

  Linear Calibration standard specifications:

The Accu-Check Linear Calibration Standard is a Quartz glass mask. The mask was produced on an e-beam machine that is NIST traceable. For NIST traceable standards and reports please contact AIM.
