On-site Angular Verification / Calibration

Anyone who utilizes a goniophotometer has most likely encountered a question at some point similar to “How do you verify the angles specified are achieved by the goniophotometer?”

Sapphire Technical Solutions has developed a method of verifying actual goniophotometer positioning using N.I.S.T. traceable, ISO/IEC 17025 calibrated equipment. A representative of STS will travel to your facility and using the goniophotometer equipment operating system, the goniophotometer is driven to predetermined setpoints, then the actual position achieved is measured. STS will then provide you with an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration certificate.

System Alignment

In addition to the on-site Angular Verification / Calibration, STS offers System Alignment services. The System Alignment consists of the following:

Option 1: This option is tailored to anyone that may not have the experience of re-installing and aligning the detectors and reflex projector after receiving the items back from calibration. The detectors and projector would be removed from the tree by your company and sent to STS for calibration. Upon return of the items to your facility an STS representative would visit your facility to re-install and align the detectors and projector. The detectors and projector would be aligned to the center of the goniophtometer, then the goniophotometer is aligned to the detector (s)/ projector. Then the Angular Verification / Calibration would be performed in the same visit.

Option 2: STS verifies / sets the alignment of the goniophotometer to the detector(s) / projector, then performs the Angular Verification / Calibration.

As with any calibrations which may create down time of your equipment, we request that you work closely with our Lab Manager to minimize that time. If you have selected option 1 above, our Lab Manager will work to coordinate the calibration of the detectors and projector to coincide with the on-site visit to your facility to minimize your down time as much as possible.

Training

Sapphire Technical Solutions can provide the training needed to perform the testing your company needs.  Our staff can provide on site training and instruction.  We can also provide hands on training and instruction at our location.
