New Romer Absolute Arm Calibration Service – Fast Response and Rapid Turnaround

Hi-Tech Metrology is pleased to be able to announce that as from 1st February 2012 we will be providing local calibration of the new Romer Absolute range of portable arms and Multi-Gage products at our Melbourne head-office facility.

As many of us know, other brands of portable measuring arms have to go back overseas for calibration which is not only expensive but also leaves customers without their valuable portable CMM equipment for weeks or months at a time.   But now, with the local service offered by Hi-Tech Metrology, clients will be able to pre-plan their calibration and see only minimal disruption to their production activities whilst the Arm is being calibrated and serviced locally - saving both time and money!

This is an Australian first for the latest generation of portable measuring arms as we are  able to offer local calibration for these very popular Romer arms - with a super fast 2-3 day turnaround time.

Hi-Tech Metrology in keeping with our overall business philosophy of providing..."Precision in Everything" has once again invested heavily in a new state-of-the-art calibration / test fixture as specified by the Romer factory in the USA and had this manufactured locally by a tool-room in Melbourne.   The calibration fixture and the artefacts, as specified by the manufacturer - Romer Division of Hexagon Metrology, are all fully maintained and controlled in our metrology laboratory in Hallam.

In order to support this new and unique service for our customers in Australia and New Zealand, one of our specialist portable arm calibration engineers - Robert O'Flynn, recently spent time at the Romer / Cimcore manufacturing plant at Oceanside in California recently for intensive factory-training on the requirements for local calibration of the new range of Romer Absolute Arms and Multi-Gages.

Not only did Rob receive some great training in the correct calibration processes but he was also briefed on the correct techniques required for minor repairs on the new Romer Absolute Arm - including PCB changes, that previously again would have required that the equipment be sent back to the factory overseas - causing long delays and extra cost.  An important factor that clients need to take into account when they are contemplating the purchase of a new portable measuring arm is the on-going calibration and repair costs along with downtime, that forms such an integral part of the whole "cost of ownership" equation.

The new Romer Absolute calibration service from Hi-Tech Metrology comes in addition to our existing calibration services for legacy Arm products such as the Cimcore Stinger and Infinite range of portable arms and is also in addition to a new verification service that we are offering for other brands of portable arms that are in the market.
