Custom CalBench from Time Electronics

The process of designing your custom CalBench

Step 1: Preliminary Consultation

Get in contact with us to discuss your requirements. We have a team of experts who will be able to run through the available options and explain the features and functions available.

  1. Email or call Time Electronics, or an authorised distributor.
  2. Let us know your location, industry, and any relevant background information regarding your site operations.
  3. Tell what you want to achieve with your CalBench.
  4. Look at the example CalBench packages for a reference.
  5. Provide the information based on steps 2 to 4.

Step 2: The CalBench Type, Fittings and Extras

Review the various options available. The sales team can advise on suitable solutions based on your industry and type of work you will be using the CalBench to perform.

  1.  Choose the type of CalBench, based on size, workspace and applications to cover.
  2. If it is a multiple CalBench requirement, we can discuss the layout for your workshop.
  3.  Select under worktop fittings based on your storage needs.
  4. Choose the perforated panel options for your quick access storage.
  5. If a complete workshop or lab design requirement, then send us the dimensions of the area, window locations etc.

Step 3: Module Requirements

Selecting the correct modules for your applications is the most critical part of the process. There are various available modules, or we will advise you based on the criteria below.

  1. The main purpose of the CalBench, i.e. calibration, training, R&M.
  2. Do you want to automate calibration and testing applications.
  3. The parameters you want to cover, i.e. electrical, temperature, pressure.
  4. What instruments and devices do you want to calibrate.
  5. Range coverage: For parameters like pressure and temperature what are the minimum & maximum ranges, plus the most common range.
  6.  If available, the models or information on the UUTs you plan to test.

Step 4: Accompanying Products Requirements

Accompanying products are required to supplement applications. Typically these would be for pressure and temperature, or items used for service work in the laboratory/workshop, and for field applications.

  1. Line pressure: What is required and what is available on-site.
  2. Manual pressure generation: Pumps and extras.
  3. Dry block calibrators: A typical requirement, selecting the models for testing RTDs and thermocouples.
  4. Repair and maintenance products such as soldering stations and extras that may be needed.
  5. Determine what other products and equipment is needed.
