Calibration of Instruments for Metal Fabrication

Instruments under control, production without downtime.

In metal fabrication, measuring instruments are exposed every day to dust, chips, and vibrations. Calipers, micrometers, and dial indicators lose their accuracy faster than in other sectors, and an instrument outside tolerance can cause an entire batch of parts to be rejected without anyone noticing until the final inspection. Micro-Tec calibrates your dimensional instruments directly in your workshop, without stopping the production line and without shipping anything. A technician arrives with the necessary equipment, checks vernier calipers, depth gauges, micrometers, and dial indicators, and provides a calibration report or an Accredia certificate depending on what is required for your quality documentation.

A technician at your facility, not an instrument sent by post.

With onsite calibration, the instrument remains available to the department for a maximum of half a day, not for the week that would be required for shipment to a laboratory. For companies working on order or having to meet the deadlines of an ISO 9001 or IATF specification, it is the difference between meeting delivery deadlines and being forced to stop while waiting for a package.

The technician does not simply perform measurements: they identify instruments approaching the end of their service life, recommend acceptable error ranges based on the type of machining process, and show you how to correctly interpret the values reported in the calibration report. We cover Northern Italy down to Rome, with interventions that can also be scheduled for multiple instruments on the same day.

The advantages for those working in metal fabrication.

Two reasons why metal fabrication workshops choose Micro-Tec onsite calibration.

Zero production downtime

Zero production downtime
The instrument never leaves the facility. Calibration is carried out between shifts or during a production line break, and the report is delivered immediately, not after a week.

Dimensional instruments

Dimensional instruments, our historical specialization
Calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, bore gauges, and 3D measuring machines: length is the field in which Micro-Tec has been working for the longest time, with certified standards and technicians who are familiar even with the less common instruments.

FAQ.

The questions most frequently asked by metal fabrication companies before scheduling an onsite calibration.

Which instruments do you calibrate for metal fabrication?

Vernier calipers, depth gauges, height gauges, internal and external micrometers, dial indicators, bore gauges, and gauge blocks. For non-standard dimensions or special instruments, please contact us before scheduling the intervention.

Can I also get the Accredia certificate with onsite calibration?

Yes. Based on your documentation requirements, you can request either the standard calibration report or the Accredia certificate, which is more suitable for ISO 9001 and IATF certifications.

How long does the equipment stay out of service?

At most half a day. The technician performs the verification on-site and leaves you with a fully usable instrument as soon as the intervention is completed.
