Certified Testing Equipment / 3D-CMM Measurements from Hofmann

In November 2021, Hofmann received the accreditation status according to DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025: 2018 for the measurement of master rotors and test masses from the German Accreditation Service (DAkkS) (Download Certificate).

The advantages for our customers are as following:

• The unbalance measurement can be traced back to national standards for geometry and mass
• Use of tested and qualified master rotors for checking your balancing machine
• The conformity assessment of the master rotors and test masses is based on the balancing standard ISO 21940-21
• Increased consumer confidence with greater legal certainty
• Fulfillment of quality and customer requirements and specifications

Hofmann owns a DAkkS (German instiute for ISO/IEC 17025 standard) calibrated 3D-CCM machine from Wenzel with a accuracy of 1.6 µm, an air-conditioned measuring room (class 2) and several DAkkS calibrated scales. The measuring staff is trained according to AUKOM standards with long term experience. All processes are described in a quality handbook.

Hofmann is offering their expertise for calibration of your test rotors, weights or even other 3D measurements.

To ensure that balancing machines and devices operate in a reliable and traceable manner in the long term, we offer you a continuous annual re-certification of your testing equipment. That consists of calibration or master rotors with the associated testing and calibration weights.

Re-certification of master parts. Are you wondering if your calibration rotor or master rotors are still suitable for inspecting your machine? To ensure that you are prepared for the next audits, Hofmann will take over the regular re-certification of existing and new parts used for the testing of balancing machines.

Production of certified master parts. Hofmann offers master parts according to individual customer requirements in the following designs:

• Standard calibration rotors as per DIN ISO 21940 – 21 and SAE ARP 4162
• Master rotors from modified original parts
• Master rotors similar to original parts
• Test weights, incl. special designs such as bob weights for crankshafts

As part of the certification / re-certification, Hofmann provides:

• Geometric measurement of the rotor
• Checking of the residual unbalance and re-balancing if required
• Checking of the calibration weights

Reminder service. You don’t have to worry at all about your re-certification. Hofmann offers comprehensive re-certification management including a personalized reminder service.

3D-CMM Measurements as Service. Hofmann offers high precise geometrical 3D measurements of your parts, from rotationally symmetrical components to complex ones Free-form surface measurement based on a CAD model. The parts for testing may be prototype parts or serial production parts. Every measurement includes a report with environmental conditions, results, accuracies and a method description. You are facing with a critical measuring task? We solve it! Feel free to contact us!

Do you have questions regarding the shape and position tolerances of your products? We offer reliable and precise measurement with fast turn around service. This includes the measuring and weighing of production parts and master parts, a comprehensive document management including report creation according to customer request and the traceability of measurement results. To ensure this quality, we rely on high-precision measuring technology:
