Amerequip: A Second Calibrator Purchase, Recommended From Job to Job

One 600A calibrator impressed a journeyman welder in the USA enough to order a second for another employer.

International Calibration Equipment

After a smooth first purchase, journeyman automated welder Brandon DeGrand was impressed enough with his Westermans 600 AC/DC Calibrator to recommend (and reorder) one for a second fabrication shop.

The customer

Amerequip, based in Kiel, Wisconsin, designs, engineers and manufactures OEM equipment solutions for the lawn, landscape, agricultural, construction and industrial markets. Brandon DeGrand, a Journeyman automated welder, sources calibration equipment to keep welding machines performing to spec; both at Amerequip and at Fillet-Up Welding & Fabrication.

The challenge

Fair pricing Needed calibration equipment priced reasonably without compromising on quality

Confidence In a first-time purchase, no prior experience with Westermans, so needed reassurance the unit and packaging would meet expectations

Traceable Compliant calibration needing results that would hold up to BS EN 50504:2008 and ISO 9000 standards

Repeatable Buying experience required the reorder process to be as straightforward as the first purchase

Westermans recommendation

A Westermans 600 AC/DC Calibrator, made in Britain and capable of calibrating machines from Miller, Lincoln, Lorch, EWM, Fronius, AMI, ESAB, Kemppi, Jasic, Migatronic, GYS and more. Supplied with a traceable calibration certificate, CE declaration of conformity, leads and software ready to go.

"A welding machine that's out of calibration can pass unnoticed for months, the welds still look fine until they're tested or inspected. Regular calibration, with a traceable certificate behind it, is cheap insurance against that risk."

— Craig Westerman, Sales Director, Westermans International

The outcome

"I thought the price was fair. I have received my unit and thought the package was good. I was impressed with my own purchase that I recommended my other job to make the 2nd purchase."

— Brandon DeGrand, Journeyman Automated Welder, Amerequip / Fillet-Up Welding & Fabrication

Why this setup worked

The 600 AC/DC Calibrator delivered on price, condition and packaging, and comes calibrated to BS EN 50504:2008 and ISO 9000 standards with a traceable certificate. Reassurance enough that DeGrand backed it with his own recommendation to a second employer, turning one sale into two.
