Raising the Bar in Calibration: ICS Dayton’s Morehouse UCM-112MD-01 Improves Quality for Labs in Clayton, OH and Beyond

When you think about calibration quality, two things immediately come to mind: accuracy and trust. In today’s regulated industries—whether aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, or healthcare—precision is non-negotiable. That’s why Instrument Calibration Solutions (ICS) has invested in the Morehouse UCM-112MD-01 test stand, now installed in our Dayton-area lab located in Clayton, Ohio.

This investment isn’t just about equipment—it’s about raising the bar for calibration quality across Clayton and the surrounding region (within 50 miles), including Dayton, Springfield, Xenia, Troy, Beavercreek, Vandalia, and beyond.

What is the Morehouse UCM-112MD-01?

The Morehouse Universal Calibration Machine (UCM-112MD-01) is one of the most advanced force calibration test stands available. It’s specifically engineered for high-accuracy calibration of load cells, force gauges, and transducers.

Key features include:

  • Controlled Load Application: Applies force precisely and consistently, eliminating operator variability.
  • Digital Logging & Traceability: Captures test data in detail for defensible audit trails.
  • Repeatability Across Technicians: Ensures uniform results no matter who performs the test.
  • Integration with Calibration Software: Enhances documentation and workflow efficiency.

In short, it’s designed to bring repeatability, traceability, and reliability to every force calibration job.

Why It Matters for Labs Around Clayton, OH

Within a 50-mile radius of Clayton, we serve a variety of industries that rely heavily on accurate calibration, including:

  • Aerospace and Defense (Dayton & Fairborn, OH): Precision is mission-critical for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the aerospace contractors around it.
  • Automotive and Manufacturing (Springfield, Troy, Moraine, and Vandalia, OH): Production lines demand dependable force gauges and load cells for quality assurance.
  • Healthcare and Biotechnology (Kettering, Beavercreek, Xenia, OH): Medical device manufacturing depends on instruments calibrated to exact standards.
  • Food & Beverage (Piqua, Tipp City, Middletown, OH): Accurate weighing and force measurement keep production consistent and compliant.

By housing the UCM-112MD-01 in our Clayton lab, ICS ensures that local businesses don’t need to send their equipment hundreds of miles away for high-end force calibration.

Quality Gains From the Morehouse Stand

From a quality standpoint, here’s how the UCM-112MD-01 strengthens calibration labs:

  1. Reduced Uncertainty

Smaller measurement uncertainty means more defensible calibration certificates. The UCM-112MD-01 delivers tighter tolerances and higher confidence in results.

  1. True Repeatability

No matter which technician runs the test—or how often it’s performed—the results are consistent thanks to automated, controlled loading.

  1. Complete Traceability

The stand provides full digital records, including time, load sequence, operator ID, and device response. For ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs, this is critical for audit readiness.

  1. Faster Turnaround Without Sacrificing Quality

Because the system automates many steps, it reduces the manual intervention that often slows down testing, giving labs the ability to handle more instruments per day.

  1. Scalable Across Locations

ICS serves not only Clayton but also regional clients across Ohio. Standardized, repeatable calibrations from the UCM-112MD-01 mean results from Dayton look the same as results from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, or anywhere else ICS operates.

Local Impact: Supporting Clayton and Surrounding Communities

Being strategically located in Clayton, OH, ICS Dayton is within easy reach of key Ohio markets:

  • Dayton (≈ 10 miles)
  • Springfield (≈ 30 miles)
  • Troy (≈ 20 miles)
  • Xenia (≈ 25 miles)
  • Beavercreek (≈ 22 miles)
  • Middletown (≈ 35 miles)
  • Richmond, IN (≈ 25 miles)
