Aviation and aerospace industries are dependent on remarkably prominent levels of measurement confidence and integrity to ensure the quality, safety and performance of systems and aircraft. Calibration and quality assurance are critical for regulatory compliance that supports the necessary standards that minimise risks of costly failures.
Aviation maintenance professionals must undertake routine checking and calibration of equipment, instruments and test tools used to certify an aircraft or its component. It ensures accuracy, safety and compliance with industry standards and manufacturer’s specifications. In aerospace and defence, calibration is vital to ensure the performance of complex systems and high-value aircraft or spacecraft. In addition, calibration programmes are necessary to supply metrological traceability and QA.

Tests can be tricky to grade, but this is where calibration test benches (CTBs) come in. Essentially, calibration test benches are designed for testing the performance of a piece of equipment under specified conditions, wherein the output data is compared to a benchmark set by the manufacturer. This ensures that every product meets manufacturer specifications and has been assessed by professionals before reaching customers. Aesthetically speaking, these vary from utilitarian tables of steel and plywood with no decoration at all that you’d find in a factory or quality laboratory to sleek pieces of furniture with touchscreens and adjustable lighting.

One of the most important things to note about calibration test benches is that they must be durable and can’t be moved around frequently with your equipment. Not only do you go through large test data, but you also need to make sure that the machine will not get damaged moving it around every time you want to evaluate something new. Therefore, CTBs should be made from hard materials like steel or high-density PVC. They are also big and will require required space, so remember that they need to be strong enough to support your equipment without flexing or moving. CTBs must be made well and can’t be put together with poor quality materials or poor craftsmanship.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there are distinct types of CTBs for the facility of testing. There are CTBs for product testing and CTBs for system testing. With a product test bench, you’ll need to get data on the product itself, while a system test bench will require more information on the entire system as a whole. If a manufacturer puts out products that are not up to standards, your clients will notice it and lose their confidence in future products from such a company.
