Guide: Professional Services for Metal, Plastics, and Electronics Manufacturers
Steps to Higher Productivity, Weighing Accuracy, and Lower Cost of Ownership
Weighing accuracy is critical in metal, plastics, and electronics manufacturing, where small measurement errors can lead to bad batches, wasted material, or a product recall. Our calibration services are matched to your equipment. Whatever equipment you're calibrating, the goal is the same: consistent product quality and fewer costly surprises on the production floor.
"The calibration certificates gave us exactly the documentation we needed for our quality audits, and the RapidCal™ process cut our tank scale calibration time significantly."

FAQs
What are the five steps to improving weighing equipment performance in MPE manufacturing?
The five steps are maximizing productivity and budget control, verifying good weighing practice, staying current on software solutions, scheduling regular maintenance, and calibrating for accuracy and reduced waste.
What does Comprehensive Care include for MPE manufacturers?
What does Comprehensive Care include for MPE manufacturers?
Comprehensive Care includes proactive service planning, full repair coverage for labor and parts at one set price, discounted preventive maintenance, priority on-site intervention, and phone support.
How does calibration support accuracy and reduce waste in metal, plastics, and electronics manufacturing?
Calibration services vary by equipment type. Bench and floor scales receive accuracy calibration certificates that assess measurement uncertainty across the full weighing range, with optional pass and fail statements against standards such as OIML R76 or HB44.
What is RapidCal and how does it benefit tank scale calibration?
RapidCal is a calibration method for tank scales that works up to three times faster than alternative approaches, supports calibration up to 32 tons with 0.1% accuracy, and uses no external material, removing the risk of contamination.
