Calibration Presses
When it comes to aircraft and vehicle weighing system calibration, precision is everything. Even the most minor error can affect safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. General Electrodynamics Corporation (GEC) designs and manufactures advanced calibration presses that ensure accuracy for your scales. Our presses are trusted worldwide by aviation organizations, repair stations, and military operations that demand the highest standards of quality.
Unlike manual calibration methods, which introduce risk of human error, GEC’s hydraulic calibration presses deliver consistent, automated performance. With capacities of up to 100,000 pounds, our systems provide repeatable, verifiable results that ensure your scales perform reliably in every application.
GEC Calibration Press Features
Our calibration instruments for aviation are engineered with industry-leading technology:
- Faster calibration cycles reduce downtime.
- Consistency and accuracy far surpass those of manual methods.
- Fully automated operation includes programmable functions.
- Multiple power options provide flexible operation across facilities.
- Capacities up to 100,000 pounds mean complete aircraft scale coverage.
- Computer-controlled systems feature safety interlocks and auto stops.
- Customizable calibration data and scale plot sheets allow for traceable reporting.
Why Use a Calibration Press?
Using a press specifically designed for aircraft scale calibration systems supports:
- Accuracy and repeatability: Maintain confidence in every weigh-in.
- Safety assurance: Eliminate guesswork in flight readiness decisions.
- Regulatory compliance: Meet FAA, DoD, and international aviation standards.
- Extended equipment life: Protect your investment by calibrating with the right tools.
Without a reliable calibration press, scales may require more frequent service or replacement, resulting in significantly higher costs due to downtime and repairs.
