Knowing the Value of BuildMax Service Centres
We all know that equipment downtime can cause a loss in not just time, but also income. Annual servicing and calibration are an integral part of the process to ensure that your equipment is operating with optimal performance. Just like a sports car, it’s important to identify and rectify any maintenance issues promptly and this ultimately extends the lifespan of your equipment.
What is equipment calibration?
GeoMax are known globally for their high precision equipment, reliability and durability. GeoMax instruments are developed, manufactured, assembled and adjusted with the highest possible quality standards in place.
At the end of the GeoMax manufacturing process, instruments are carefully assessed and checked, any minor errors are identified and adjusted, so that the measurement results are correct, precise and reliable.
Due to regular instrument use or stress, such as temperature change, shock or vibration, minor errors can develop. To guarantee the best measurement performance, these errors, and therefore the correction values, have to be re-determined and set in the instrument from time to time, this procedure is called calibration.
Don’t believe the false claims
In the past, we’ve become aware that other third party companies have claimed to be able to service GeoMax equipment and we would advise our customers that these claims are completely false and are not to be believed.
Only BuildMax Service Centres have the specialist testing facilities and expertise to service GeoMax equipment.
Other servicing facilities might be able to offer a level of testing, in the same way that the user can test their own equipment, but this is nowhere near as comprehensive as a calibration completed by our qualified Service Technicians using a specialist GeoMax testing equipment and procedures.
Manufacturers have specific testing procedures and service software, that are only available to certified, authorised service centres and NOT to third parties.
Why use a BuildMax Service Centre?
Having your equipment calibrated on a regular basis, usually annually, is essential in ensuring that your gear is performing at optimal levels and to the same specifications as the day it left the factory.
Our Service Centre Technicians are highly trained experts, who have access to specialised testing equipment to ensure that your equipment is calibrated to factory specification.
Specialist Facilities
One example of the specialist facilities at our Service Centres is the GeoMax EZiCAT Cable Locator service rig. As the official GeoMax dealer for New Zealand, we have the only two of these units in the country at our Auckland and Christchurch Service Centres.
The same principal holds true for GeoMax Total Stations, it is critical that you use an official certified agent for service and calibration, in order to maintain the precision of the instrument.
When servicing a unit, various components are cleaned, re-greased and torqued to specific values, and then the measurements are compared and adjusted to regularly checked calibration equipment.
The technicians who service, repair and calibrate your BuildMax Total Station are factory trained and use service software that checks a multitude of parameters stored within the unit, to ensure optimal functionality of your instrument.
All aspects of the BuildMax Service Centre facilities, from test equipment, calibration, training and even record keeping, are specified and audited to maintain stringent international standards, as set out by GeoMax Positioning.
The complete process ensures that your unit leaves our Service Centre meeting the very same standards set by the factory that produced it, so that you have the peace of mind to rely on the optimal and accurate performance of your equipment.
