Since its release, the Fluke Calibration 5500A Series Multi-Product Calibrator has been generating excitement in the industry. A few individuals who have gotten the opportunity to use a 5560A, 5550A, and 5540A in their daily work are sharing what they’ve experienced so far. A few metrology technicians and calibration engineers who work in the aerospace industry, along with a calibration engineer from the defense, intelligence, and industrial industry weighed in.
A metrology technician also pointed out that the way this multi-product calibrator has been design eliminates the need for additional fiddling during set up, “When changing the settings of the 5560A, there is the option of changing its initial startup for different functions which could streamline a lot of routine calibrations and save time on simply getting started.”
And the calibrator itself may help streamline their lab’s equipment needs, "I like the 30-amp capability, it will eliminate the need for the 5725 Amplifier. I just followed the instructions using the touchscreen and it was very easy."
Intuitive and Easy to Use
Everyone had something to say about the redesigned, 17.8-centimeter (7-inch) color touch screen:
“Touchscreen navigation and intuitive internal guidance makes the unit simple to use.”
“The touch screen was great as well, making navigating through the menus and settings a breeze."
“Display clarity is a much-improved experience.”
This calibrator was redesigned to be easy for anyone to use, even without an extensive metrology background. The lead technician in the aerospace industry described the 5560A as a huge upgrade for their lab. They remarked, "The increased speed, intuitive operation, and increased capability make this a huge upgrade in capability, speed, and uncertainty. Touchscreen navigation and intuitive internal guidance makes the unit simple to use." It’s essential to help you save time and effort in your calibration processes.
Improved Stability and Accuracy for Better Calibration Results
Calibration engineers who have used the Fluke Calibration 5560A have been impressed with its stability and accuracy. One such engineer remarked, "The stability of the output is very important, and the 5560A did not disappoint. The readings I was seeing on DMMs were far more stable and reliable, leading to less time checking connection quality or waiting for a reading to settle, making the calibration process more efficient."
A metrology technician also said, “Whether in a calibration station or onsite, I could see the 5560A getting the job done without sacrificing any of the accuracy.”
The Fluke Calibration 5560A is designed to be fast, accurate, and efficient, making it an excellent investment for any organization that requires reliable and accurate calibration of electronic and electrical equipment.
Enhanced Display and Connectivity for Streamlined Calibration
Plus, the universal connection points for thermocouple connectors make it that much faster to get through the work. A calibration engineer pointed out, “The new thermocouple port that will happily and confidently support mini, standard, and bare wire creates less need for adapters and a smoother operation for whatever is required.”
The 5500 Series Multi-Product calibrator also features Visual Connection Terminals are a huge advantage for many labs working through a backlog of calibrations. These connection points make it easier to troubleshoot any mistakes in setup. "The button layout and display clarity is a much-improved experience. The updated display and lit output ports to indicate which are being used for each test function make the connection process faster and easier to troubleshoot any mistakes in the set up,” said a calibration engineer.
The Fluke Calibration 5500A Series Multi-Product Calibrator is a game-changing tool that can help technicians and engineers to streamline their calibration processes, saving time and effort while ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Overall, the Fluke Calibration 5500A Series Multi-Product Calibrator is an excellent choice for any organization that needs to calibrate a wide range of electronic and electrical equipment. Its speed, accuracy, ease of use, and versatility make it an essential tool for calibration processes, and its enhanced display and connectivity features make it an even more valuable investment. With the Fluke Calibration 5500A Series Multi-Product calibrator, technicians and engineers can calibrate equipment faster, more efficiently, and with greater accuracy, helping to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.
