Fluke Corporation has launched a new addition to its 55XX multi-product calibrator series with the Fluke 5530A Basic Multi-Product Calibrator. The 5530A is designed for calibration and metrology technicians, targeting industrial calibration workloads at what is said to be a more affordable price point.
A new Null Meter option has also been added to the Fluke 8588A-series Reference Multimeter for metrologists and calibration technicians in laboratory environments, creating a new generation of digital null meter capability that Fluke says will make analogue null detectors obsolete.
Fluke says the new calibrator and Null Meter option lowers costs, expands device workloads, and improves automation, addressing the modern workload of calibration professionals
Ben Ewoldt, Product Manager Fluke Calibration, said:”These new solutions reflect our deep collaboration with calibration professionals. By listening closely to our customers, we developed the 5530A calibrator and enhanced Null Meter capabilities to deliver the precision, flexibility, and automation they need, at a better cost and with greater efficiency.”
Fluke says the 5530A is designed to be a ‘workhorse’ for industrial organisations, enabling calibration technicians to keep their factories running and their equipment calibrated at a lower cost. Key features of the system include calibration support for 4.5-digit multimeters and as well as compatibility with the Fluke Calibration 52120A Transconductance Amplifier for expanded workloads. The 5530A also addresses power workloads with dual output for ACV and DCV.
Fluke has also announced new firmware updates across its Fluke 55XX series that allow organisations to expand and automate their calibration workloads. The 55XX series of multiproduct calibrators, 5560A, 5550A, and 5540A, are receiving a new firmware update, allowing technicians and metrologists to execute calibrations with more automation. The firmware update supports higher amps on clamp meters for expanded workloads.
