Calibration

SAXE is performing calibration services according to ISO17025, which means that we are accredited as certified calibration laboratory by DANAK / ILAC. Our calibration tasks are controlled through our quality management system, which is audited by external accessors from DANAK.

We are using equipment that are calibrated by external laboratories at least once a year and we guarantee storage of the calibration data for 11 years, on secure servers.

DANAK is the national accreditation body in Denmark in compliance with EU regulation No. 765/2008.

DANAK participates in the multilateral agreements for testing and calibration under European co-operation for Accreditation (EA) and under International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) based on peerevaluation. Accredited test reports and calibration certificates issued by laboratories accredited by DANAK are recognized cross border by members of EA and ILAC equal to test reports and calibration certificates issued by these members’ accredited laboratories.

The use of the accreditation symbol on test reports and calibration certificates or reference to accreditation, documents that the service is provided as an accredited service under the company’s DANAK accreditation.

The temperature sensor can be located on an injection molding machine, extruder or auxiliary equipment. A temperature sensor gives a signal (resistance or voltage) to indicate the temperature. This is often a critical parameter for manufacturing of a product.

If the real temperature is not measured correctly it can cause defects in the finished product

Pressure transducers in injection molds, or transducers that measures injection pressure or working pressure. The transducers gives a clear image of the pressure needed to fill a given cavity (shape or space).

If the pressure isn’t high enough the cavity is not filled. If the pressure is too high the material can be damaged and degrade and lose properties.

Force is often measured in the electrical and hydraulic driven closing system, and electrical injection units, of a molding machine. Force on electrical machines is used to ensure correct filling of the tool, as well as ensure the mould is clamped with the correct force.

If the mould is not closed with the needed force, the final product can lose shape, get burns or similar defects.

Geometry can be measured with linear potentio-meters, laser or optics and can be located in-line on a production line or off-line in a QA-laboratory. Geometry is used in the production environment, to position parts of the machine or to measure dimensions on a product.

If this measure is not correct, it can cause the product to malfunction, miss-fit or the machine is not positioning itself correctly (loses repeatability)

Time and frequency are used to measure speed or revolutions on an axis or other rotating parts. It could be a plasticizing screw on an injection molding machine or extruder, or the shaft of a conveyor belt or haul off. Under some circumstances, the revolutions are influencing the final dimensions of the product.

If the revolutions are not read correctly, it can result in wrong dimensions on the finished product.
