The performance of tools and instruments tends to drift over time and every tool loses accuracy to some extent. Therefore, calibration of service tools is necessary to carry out over time. Tool calibration is important to ensure tools produce accurate and reliable measurements in support of product quality

Calibration is a vital step in ensuring tools are working as they should be, giving correct readings, providing a safe working environment for operators, and ensuring that companies are upholding their legal obligations.

If a robot is being serviced with uncalibrated tools it can lead to hazardous situations and/or robots losing accuracy.  

Note that all torque service tools delivered by Universal Robots comes calibrated according to Standard ISO/IEC 17025, but we do recommend manual torque service tools to be calibrated once a year.

Manual torque service tools must be calibrated according to Standard ISO/IEC 17025 in house or by a 3rd party.

Please refer to the Service Toolkit Datasheet for a list of service tools and corresponding torque values.
