LPKF Calibration and Maintenance Services

The ERDC Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Sensor Integration Branch utilizes these instruments to assist in research and analysis of rapid printed circuit board prototyping. The two LPKF instruments are due for calibration and annual maintenance which is only available from LPKF certified technicians through LPKF Laser & Electronics. Only the OEM can provide the maintenance support of their own equipment. Without the purchase of these services, the LPKF instruments could miss calibration and become unusable and the projects utilizing these instruments would impede our ability to fulfill our mission research and analysis.
