What is driving implementation of automated calibration systems today?
A. Evolving domestic and international standards, along with growing inventories of accelerometers, have driven the demand for companies to invest in automated calibration systems. The cost of outsourcing calibration begins to justify a calibration system purchase return on investment (ROI) once a user crosses a hundred calibrations per year threshold. Additionally, uniform quality standards like ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 evolve as measurement technology advances. What was considered sufficient or state-of-the-art a decade ago in terms of quality doesn’t necessarily meet standards today. Not all calibration systems can pass these new standards. For example, total harmonic distortion measurement are now required in the ISO 16063-21 standard for vibration calibration. As vibration and shock tests have become more ubiquitous and testing in general has become less expensive on a per channel basis, sensor inventories have grown to meet expanding channel count capabilities.
