Reduce Risk of Warranty Claims with Embedded Calibration and Quality Control

Warranty claims and recalls can quickly eat into your bottom line. Not to mention the risk of serious injury to your customers when a product fails. While not all claims and recalls can be avoided, using an embedded ISO 17025 accredited calibration provider for calibration and quality control can help significantly reduce these risks. Cross Precision Measurement has provided embedded calibration and Quality Control services for years and we have seen firsthand how it can help to prevent bad product from making it to your customer.

Making sure that the fasteners on vehicles are not too tight or too loose is critical in ensuring quality and safety. Embedded calibration technicians calibrate your tools and make sure they are set to the proper torque before they are handed over to your assembly team.
