A tour of the Calibration Lab showed visitors what they can expect when their measuring equipment moves through the facility, whose goal is to help create the lowest possible uncertainty for a manufacturer’s measurement standards. It fine-tunes gauge blocks, step gauges, ring and plug gauges, and line scales. It also calibrates small measuring tools such as micrometers, indicators, calipers, and height gauges. One of the most important functions of the laboratory is its ability to calibrate its master artifacts and those of other calibration labs across the country.

“It is one of the most accurate CMMs in the world,” said Lumasag. “Its fixed-bridge structure with a moving table and high-resolution, low-expansion glass scales are key factors in maintaining the highest level of accuracy. The LEGEX gives our lab the versatility to measure a wide variety of standards to the highest accuracy.”

After the requisite speeches from company executives, self-guided tours allowed visitors to interact with staff in the Calibration Lab area, repair shop, and contract inspection lab.

Extra battery powerIf you want to heat at the highest level for a long time, we recommend these batteries and possibly an additional battery pack. You can easily recharge the glove batteries with the accompanying USB charger. This means you can also charge the batteries on the move using your own power bank.

One example of the new technology housed in the Calibration Lab is its LEGEX CNC coordinate measuring machine (CMM). This system has an accuracy of 0.28+L/1,000.

Over the last few years, Mitutoyo Canada has made investments in state-of-the-art equipment and has hired skilled staff to run it. According to Lumasag, this has been a factor in the company’s ability to guarantee low turnaround times.

“The Calibration Lab supports sales by providing calibration services for brand new tools when required by our end users. The lab also calibrates the artifacts that our field service technicians use to perform on-site equipment calibrations and it works closely with the repair department to ensure that repaired items are working within the manufacturer’s specification,” Lumasag said.

All of the work is done in the 1,600-sq.-ft. space set aside for the lab in the company’s Mississauga office. The lab has a climate control system that maintains temperature within +/- 0.1 degrees C. It also has a Class 10,000 Clean Room rating.

Soak time allows artifacts to acclimatize to the Calibration Lab’s standard temperature, which is set to 20 degrees C. Whether its calibration equipment or tools that need calibration, this process is crucial to minimize uncertainty.

“Having a calibration lab in Canada is important to comply with international standards, maintain quality assurance, provide traceable calibration certificates, and reduce downtime and costs. Secondly, it plays a vital role in supporting our valued customers in various industries by ensuring the equipment they are using is calibrated and traceable to an accredited body,” explained Lumasag.

The gloves cannot be washed. Should they get dirty we advise to clean them with the BERTSCHAT® Cleaning Kit. Only allow the gloves to dry naturally and do not place them on the heater or any other heat source.

Suitable for:These electric gloves are ideal for people who suffer from cold hands, chilblains and Raynaud's syndrome. The gloves are also used by avid hikers, (electric) cyclists and winter sports enthusiasts.

“Because of the investments, we are able to provide the quality of service that is expected by our customers while also accommodating for the department’s future growth. Mitutoyo Canada also continues to review and expand our scope of accreditation to better support our customers and meet industry requirements,” he added.

If you don’t use the products for a longer period of time, we recommend using the batteries with product every 2 months until they are empty. Then charge the batteries until they are 100% full. Then use them until they are 50% to 75% full. Repeat this process every 2 months.

In the main showroom, the company offered presentations about the Roundtracer Flash, MeasurLink Data Management system, and the entire line of the company’s measurement systems and tools. In the applied products room, the company showed its RoboTag, a MiSTAR 555 with a Yaskawa robot, the Surface Measure 1008, and a smart factory interactive display.

These unique heated gloves are the warmest gloves. The very first electric gloves with heating throughout the entire glove. Over the palm of the hand, the fingertips and the back of the hand. This is the warmest glove available. With these electric gloves, you are armed against the most extreme weather conditions and will never have to suffer from cold hands again.

Temperature regulationYou can easily regulate the temperature via the button on the glove. The heated gloves can be set to 3 temperatures, but you can also choose to activate heating on the top and/or underside of the glove.

Measuringdevices

As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, Mitutoyo Canada, Mississauga, Ont., hosted an open house and tour. This included a look at the Calibration Laboratory, a sales, service, and repair support shop that is a complement to the products and services made available to the company’s Canadian customers.

Powerful batteriesThe gloves require an enormous amount of energy if the highest setting (III) is selected and if both the top and under side of the gloves are heated. The heated gloves come with the most powerful batteries; you can choose between 2,600, 3,000 and 3,800 mAh.

“The Mitutoyo Calibration Lab provides calibration services on virtually all measuring equipment. Send your tools into us for an ISO 17025 calibration. If there are any questions, please contact [email protected], we would be happy to help. We can provide you with any information regarding the calibration of your equipment,” added Kevin Boodoo, Repair and Calibration Lab supervisor.

Insulation valueThese BERTSCHAT® PRO gloves feature quality marks such as HIPORA and 3M Thinsulate. This material increases the insulation value of the gloves enormously. As a result, the gloves do not only become warm, they also remain warm. This means you can use a lower setting more often, because the heat is retained.

The right size for your gloves can be measured easily. Spread your fingers as shown on the picture and measure the circumference.

Only well-insulating, durable and high-quality materials are used for BERTSCHAT® gloves. The outer liner of the gloves is a mix of 90% polyester and 10% elastane. The palm consists of 100% goatskin leather. The inner layer contains a wind- waterproof layer and a 3M Thinsulate insulation layer. These materials make the gloves durable, well-insulated and resistant to the most extreme weather types. All BERTSCHAT® gloves are hand-sewn with care.
