Calibration & Alignment
Advanced Energy recommends annual calibration and alignment to maintain measurement accuracy for most of our critical power and sensing products. Regular calibration ensures your equipment is operating within design specifications and is often required for quality system audits.
Ship your equipment to an AE service center near you by requesting an RMA or scheduling on-site support from our trained field engineers.

Overview of Services
Temperature Sensing Products
AE is the only Calibration provider who can adjust the instrument to its original operating specifications to achieve true temperature readings.
Plasma Power Products
Calibration of plasma power products, including generators and matches, is required to conform to a common path (traceability), and to ensure proper operation on a periodic basis. Advanced Energy offers calibration of these critical plasma power products to ensure process control and consistency.
Electrostatic Voltmeters & ESD Instrumentation
AE is the only Calibration provider who can adjust our electrostative voltmeters and electrostatic discharge (ESD) instrumentation to their original operating specifications to achieve accurate measurement and control.
Temperature Sensing Products
Calibration and alignment of temperature sensing products like blackbodies, pyrometers, and thermal imagers are essential processes to ensure their accuracy and optimal performance traceable to national standards such as NIST and PTB.
Calibration of these instruments involves comparing their readings against a known standard to ensure accuracy, often with the use of a blackbody as a reference source.
Alignment, on the other hand, focuses on optimizing the performance of these instruments within your specific system or application.
Blackbodies
All AE blackbodies are verified against a reference standard to ensure they are properly set up and stable. Calibration & Alignment for our Blackbody calibration sources at your site is available on all models except M315 and M345.
Pyrometers
Our expert technicians can adjust the pyrometer detector response to ensure the unit is optimized and operating within specifications and that the optical path is verified with the device focused correctly.
Thermal Imagers
Our expert technicians can adjust the thermal imager detector array response, such as by fixing points on the internal Lumens table for each pixel, adjusting the shape, and providing non-uniformity corrections (NUC), to ensure the unit is properly compensating for ambient conditions and operating within specifications.

Plasma Power Products
Modern RF equipment contains advanced measurement devices and algorithms requiring regular calibration to ensure repeatable performance over time. Complex processes rely on the generator and match measurement systems to ensure repeatable power delivery. Units operating out of calibration are a risk to the quality of the processed wafer.
Advanced Energy's expertise in high power RF generation and measurement is key to consistency and repeatability in process control.
Using AE certified standards, our products are calibrated at global AE service sites with proprietary technology designed to exceed industry standards. For our most advanced products, we guarantee accuracy within 1% compared to the industry standard of 2%. Many of our sites are ISO 9001:2015 certified to satisfy the calibration and preventive maintenance requirements. AE can provide an exchange program to ensure no downtime due to calibration cycles.

Electrostatic Voltmeters & ESD Instrumentation
Electrostatic Voltmeters
Calibration of electrostatic voltmeters involves formal procedures to ensure the accuracy of measurements. These methods are based on measurements whose accuracy can be traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and conform to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1.
Regular calibration is necessary to accurately measure surface potential (voltage) on materials and to maintain electrostatic voltmeter compliance with quality standards.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Instrumentation
Calibration of ESD instrumentation involves a variety of checks and adjustments to ensure the device operates correctly. These methods are based on measurements whose accuracy can be traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and conform to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1.
Regular calibration of charge plate monitors, sensors, resistivity meters, field meters, and voltmeters is necessary to reliably monitor, measure, and locate electric charge, surface voltage, and resistivity. Additionally, regular ESD instrumentation calibration is necessary to maintain compliance with quality standards.
