Calibration services

Manufacturer calibration you can trust

Regular calibration isn’t just a routine task – it’s a commitment to accuracy, quality, and trust. It ensures your instruments deliver reliable, precise results by comparing them against trusted standards.

As technology evolves, instruments have become more powerful – and more complex. Over the past decades, the number of measurement values needing verification has doubled, and with it, the expectations for precision have grown dramatically:

• Quality and Safety: Consistent calibration is vital for maintaining quality control and safety, driving innovation, supporting R&D, and accelerating time to market.
• Deviation Prevention: Over time, instruments can drift from their original specifications. Calibration makes sure that this is detected and shows that adjustment is required.
• Investment Return: Proper calibration secures your investment by maximizing the return on your initial expenditure.
• Escalation Prevention: Proactive calibration enables early detection and correction of measurement deviations, stopping minor errors from becoming major issues.

As a market leader in manufacturing, we develop the test systems for our production process, allowing you to benefit from our in-depth expertise. For every calibration, we use the same test systems that we rely on when manufacturing our own products. Our standardized test systems and technologies ensure that your instruments perform like new in the shortest time possible – and they do so consistently worldwide through our global service network.

Beyond calibration: Ensuring optimal performance with specific adjustments

Not all calibrations are equal; calibration quality varies significantly.

While third-party providers only offer measurement reports without making any further adjustments, we take it a step further. If the calibration reveals any deviations from tolerance limits, automatic adjustments are made on-site, eliminating the need for additional service appointments. This integrated approach ensures that your equipment is immediately restored to optimal performance, avoiding unnecessary downtime.

Unlike many calibration service providers, who may lack the specialized tools and expertise for adjustments, we ensure that your equipment performs as good as new.

Rohde & Schwarz covers every technical parameter and delivers all three phases of a comprehensive, top-tier calibration process.

1. Initial calibration:
During the first phase, the values measured by the instrument are compared against precise standards and the instrument’s specifications. This procedure provides valuable insights into the instrument's current performance, allowing for informed decision-making.

2. Technical evaluation:
Following the initial calibration, the insights are interpreted to assess the condition of the equipment. Each instrument undergoes thorough checks for deviations, with specific adjustments made when values fall outside the defined tolerance range.

3. Outcome status:
We meticulously document all calibration steps and adjustments to guarantee measurement traceability. This documentation clearly defines your equipment's “as incoming” and “as outgoing” performance metrics, ensuring transparency and reliability in your measurement process.

In this video take a closer look at the Rohde & Schwarz three stage calibration process to understand why a good calibration service offered by manufacturers goes a lot further than that offered by a third-party provider.

Our calibration services: Precision equipment, optimally calibrated

Your instruments and system components go through several phases during a Rohde & Schwarz calibration. As the manufacturer, thoroughness and accuracy are our top priority. Before the calibration itself, we use a computer-controlled diagnostic system to check your instruments and scan them for malware.

Following initial calibration and based on the status of the instrument, we use state-of-the-art procedures for all necessary hardware improvements and parameter adjustments. If there is any rework, we run a complete calibration cycle again so that you receive back high-precision T&M equipment that performs like new.

Minimize downtime with on-site calibration

We’re there when you need us. Downtime is a major cost factor. This is why we do everything we can to minimize the time your instruments have to be offline for maintenance and calibration purposes.

We come to you – if necessary with our mobile calibration laboratory – all without time-consuming logistics effort. Often the necessary work can be done fastest and most efficiently at your site. This ensures that you can put your equipment back into operation as quickly as possible – whenever you need it.

You can benefit from our on-site calibration:

• No shipping needed: Large or complex equipment does not need to be sent to a calibration laboratory
• Reduce risk of damage: Eliminating transportation reduces potential handling damage, protecting your valuable instruments
• Increase efficiency: Calibration performed directly on-site streamlines scheduling and logistics, helping your team stay productive and focused
• Minimal interruption: Your operations and processes can stay in use and don’t need to be out of service during peak hours
