We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers by expanding our capabilities to meet your needs. ?If you have ever had your COM 120 lose its options, making it become inoperable, there is no need to?replace it with a new one. ?If you bring your COM 120 to Custom Calibration Solutions we can now re-store COM-120s options which sometimes are lost in the repair process or when watchdogs NOVRAM chip fails. ?This re-stores options originally fitted to you COM-120 so you can use the original functions. ?We take a lot of pride in our work to make sure you get exactly what you need and bringing your equipment to us is a quick, cost?effective way to make sure you can operate at your full capacity with minimal downtime. ?If you have any questions about what we can do for you please feel free to email us at?sales@custom-cal.com?or call us at any of our locations at Medford Oregon, Hamilton New Jersey, or Orange City Florida. ?At our Medford Oregon location, we can calibrate your equipment if you are located in Salem, Eugene, Portland, Bend, along with various other locations.

Here at Custom Cal, we calibrate a wide variety of equipment to the highest standards traceable through NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). ?We calibrate/repair?RF equipment, optics, DC/AC, resistance, current, and scales but, in this post, we will be focusing on spectrum analyzer calibrations. ? When it comes to spectrum analyzers, we are your one stop shop to all of your servicing needs. ?To help paint a picture?of what we can do for you, we have listed below a few spectrum analyzers that we can calibrate/repair.? They are listed by manufacturer assist in finding your exact type. ?Even if you do not see your equipment in this list, it does not mean we cannot help you, this is just a few of a long list of spectrum analyzers we service. ?If you need your equipment calibrated or repaired, ?you can simply type in your model number into the search bar located at the top right of your page. ?From there, you can see what services we provide and if you have any questions, you can ?fill out our online form and someone will quickly get back with you. ?You can also click on the contact us button to contact the specific lab closest to you.

Custom Cal’s Medford lab supports it’s local growers, packagers and local retail dispensaries in the medical and recreational marijuana industry.? We recently completed an onsite at Kanopy 7 ensuring their customers get exactly what they pay for.

We use calibrated weights that are traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)?ensuring the highest quality calibrations for any of our customers.? If you have scales that need to be calibrated, you can reach us at 541-245-3992 and we would be more than happy to serve you.

This post is?going?to discuss some adjustable/prefixed torque wrench, screwdriver, and limiter etiquette that you may not have known or forgetten about.

First, Before you use your torque tool for the day, make sure to break?it at its max or prefixed value six times.? This helps loosen up the tool to perform at the calibrated accuracy.

Secondly, when applying torque, make sure you apply pressure from the middle of the handle. This is?sometimes indicated by the manufacturer (example pictures below).? If you apply torque to a different part of the torque wrench, you will cause stress and torque to build?in?places that the torque wrench was not designed to have.? The added stress causes more wear on your tool and can lead to incorrect torque to be applied for the job.

Next,? you want to apply torque in a smooth action.? Applying torque in a quick/snappy way can likely make you over torque the your bolt, nut, screw, or adapter.? If you apply it too slow, it can cause the torque wrench to break prematurely not giving you the proper amount you may need.

Also, make sure that when you are done using your adjustable torque tool,?to set the value to the lowest setting that the manufacturer has indicated.? If you leave the torque wrench set at a higher value, you will cause extra wear and tear on your tool which can effect the accuracy over time.??The torque wrench is not designed to be set lower than what is indicated and can cause inaccurate torque values.

Lastly,? to easily calculate from one torque value to another, here’s helpful list to guide you.

16inoz=1inlb; 12inlb=1ftlb, 1ftlb=192inoz.
