measurement and traceability assurance is an essential asset for manufacturers, which supports the collective ambition to continuously improve quality and production efficiency by minimising the need for rework.
The increased scope of the UKAS calibration accreditation also reflects Atlas Copco’s corporate strategy of ensuring that appropriate ISO standards are consistently met across all of the organisation’s global production locations and customer centres.
Commenting on the new accreditation, Nicolas Van Zyl, Atlas Copco’s UK calibration manager, says: “Expanding the scope of our UKAS accreditation to include the calibration of electrically powered tightening tools and the related benefits in terms of cost savings, reduced downtime and quality assurance, reflects our focus on forging strategic partnerships with customers in the journey to the Smart Factory.
“Calibration is a key component of Atlas Copco’s ‘Smart Integrated Assembly’ concept, ensuring the accuracy and process reliability of assembly tools. Providing UKAS accredited calibrations makes a real difference for manufacturers, allowing electric assembly tools to be quickly re-calibrated and put back to work on the production line straightaway.”

ADVANCED ENERGY LAUNCHES ADVANCED SOLUTIONS FOR RF POWER SENSOR CALIBRATION
18 GHz power transfer standard, while the TEGAM PMX18-CS is a turnkey 9 kHz to 18 GHz system that significantly simplifies and accelerates power sensor calibration. With an integrated USB port, the 2818A operates without a separate power meter and applies proven TEGAM transfer standard techniques to an internally- referenced thermoelectric sensor to support high-speed, high-accuracy calibration with minimal equipment. Calibration constants are stored within the sensor, eliminating the need for additional electronic storage media.

Optimised for throughput, the PMX18- CS provides cost-effective calibrations for a broad range of power sensors from leading test and measurement equipment manufacturers. The integrated solution combines a TEGAM 2505 RF power standard, a 1830A RF power meter, RF power source and Vector Network
dvanced Energy has announced two new high- performance, high-accuracy technologies for RF power sensor calibration. The TEGAM 2818A is a 9 kHz to
Analyzer (VNA) and performs automated calibrations in a fraction of the time required for manual processes. “When it comes to RF power sensor calibration, technicians need to be able to trust the accuracy and performance of their equipment,” says Dhaval Dhayatkar, vice president of critical sensing and control products at Advanced Energy. “Building on more than 30 years of expertise in microwave power measurement, the TEGAM 2818A and TEGAM PMX18-CS deliver that trust while simplifying and accelerating the power sensor calibration process.” The new solutions are compatible with the TEGAM PS-Cal power sensor calibration automation software. Suitable for experienced and new calibration technicians alike, this software supports calibration for a wide variety of third-party power sensors, simplifies the selection of calibration procedures and enables data storage for subsequent comparison and analysis.
