Larson Systems Inc. has made the commitment to repair, upgrade and calibrate Carlson MET-SF Series, Carlson MET-MF Series and the Reicherter line of testers. In many cases we can repair the testers to OEM specifications. When OEM repair is not available or economically feasible we have several unique repair / upgrade options at affordable prices. In addition, we offer a high quality paint job to finally finish the product since the factory never painted the original tester. It will look like new!
Our factory calibration includes NIST traceable certification of force, length, parallelism and deflection compensation.
