Acoustic and Vibration Test Equipment Repair Services

Acoustic and vibration test equipment repair services includes repair and other services for vibration, acceleration and acoustic test equipment, instruments and sensors such as shakers, shaker controllers, microphones, hydrophones, FFT analyzers, impact hammers, ultrasonic transducers, sound level meters and other specialty instruments.

Areas of expertise covered by providers of acoustic and vibration test equipment repair services include accelerometer or vibration sensors, acoustic sensors or microphones, acoustic or ultrasonic transducers, hydrophones, impact hammers, position sensors or instruments, power supplies or amplifiers, shakers, shaker controllers, sound level meters or dosimeters, speed or velocity instruments, ultrasonic instruments, and vibration or noise analyzers. 

Acoustic and vibration test equipment repair services offered include bench or off-site testing, field or on-site testing, calibration services, installation or start-up services, OEM or warranty authorized shop, pick-up and delivery, preventative maintenance and services, rapid turnaround, remanufacturing and complete rebuilding, rental or lease, replacement or exchange programs, spare parts inventory, troubleshooting, and upgrade services.

Common quality requirements met by providers of acoustic and vibration test equipment repair services include ISO / IEC 17025, ANSI / NCSL Z540-1, A2LA, QS 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 9002, MIL-SPEC / STD, NIST, and GMP / FDA.  ISO 17025 addresses the proficiency of the organization to perform the testing and calibration activities. It is a standard geared towards technical qualification and deals heavily with measurement uncertainties.  ANSI / NCSL is formerly MIL-STD 45662A, American National Standard ANSI / NCSL Z540-1 is a requirements document titled "Calibration Laboratories and Measuring and Test Equipment - General Requirements."   This is a standard that is used primarily by government community. It is very close to the 17025 standard.  A2LA is the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation.  A2LA accreditation is defined as formal recognition of an organization's technical competency to perform specific tests, types of tests, or calibrations.  QS 9000 is a set of standards based on ISO 9001 with particular application to the automotive industry; standards are defined and maintained by major automotive manufacturers.  Standards concern part fabrication and quality in areas such as materials, heat treatment, finishing, and production processes.  ISO 9001 sets out the requirements for an organization whose business processes range all the way from design and development, to production, installation and servicing.  ISO 9002 is for an organization, which does not carry out design and development. It does not include the design control requirements of ISO 9001 - otherwise, its requirements are identical.  MIL-SPEC certification states that the company is certified or experienced in provided tools and/or coatings that comply with military specifications or standards.  NIST calibrations are traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology.  Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a quality requirement for instruments involved in sanitary processing; such as pharmaceuticals or foods. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires similar quality.
