Hands-On training on calibrating equipment

[timoth]

Hi friends,

We are in process of calibrating gages in house instead of sending them out to a lab.

Is there any lab or training institute that provides training {practical training} on calibrating equipments?

Appreciate all the help.

thanks

Hello there!

A lot of it will depend on what kind of equipment you are talking about. Some of the equipment gets pretty involved, and will require quite a bit of training.

What you might can do is see if a local competent calibration source would provide some hands-on training. You might can work a partnership with them where you calibrate some equipment, and you have them calibrate the other equipment.

Another option is to bring in a representative from the mfg. of the company. This will cost money, and you will need to have a lot of instruments to get a pay-back.

You might consider partnerships with people around you. Saying, your suppliers and even some of your customers may have the same type of instruments and processes. They may not only have people trained to help you, but have procedures that you might can view.

These are some general suggestions. If you wish, you can indicate what type of equipment you're talking about, and we may can get more detailed.
