In high-precision manufacturing processes, even the smallest dimensional deviations determine the quality of the final product. Calibration templates from KMLT® support the inspection, calibration, and validation of sophisticated manufacturing and testing systems. With our expertise in laser micromachining, we produce custom templates for applications where dimensional accuracy and repeatability are critical.
Calibration templates serve as defined geometric references that can be used to verify the accuracy and repeatability of technical systems. They enable a traceable assessment of measurement, positioning, and manufacturing processes, thereby making an important contribution to quality assurance.
KMLT® manufactures high-precision calibration templates for specific industrial requirements. The design is tailored to the intended application, the required geometries, and the technical constraints.
The areas of application are based on the applications and development work described by KMLT®. Specific suitability is assessed on a project-by-project basis.
To ensure that your calibration template is optimally tailored to your application, we take the key technical specifications into account right from the initial inquiry.

We’ll evaluate the specific manufacturing limits and achievable tolerances based on the desired design. This ensures that the technical solution is tailored to your specific application.
Yes. We manufacture your custom geometries, holes, and reference structures with precision based on the CAD data and technical specifications you provide.
KMLT® manufactures calibration templates primarily from high-precision stainless steel (such as 1.4301), and upon request from FineGrain steels for minimal residual stress or from nickel. For special applications in wafer handling and optoelectronics, we also produce precise reference geometries, for example on float glass; typically, this material is provided by the customer for this purpose.
Yes. As an ISO 9001-certified company, we offer project-specific metrological verification for quality-critical applications. The stencils are delivered with a fully documented measurement report that certifies compliance with your tight dimensional and tolerance specifications in the micrometer (µm) range.
At KMLT®, you benefit from maximum flexibility: We manufacture custom calibration templates starting at just one piece as part of our prototyping services or for individual parts. Thanks to our state-of-the-art laser systems, we are also equipped to handle the cost-effective production of medium and large-scale industrial production runs.
Delicate structures, holes, and recesses are produced using state-of-the-art laser micromachining. Depending on the size and material of the desired stencil, high-precision USP lasers (ultra-short-pulse lasers) may also be used. This ensures an absolutely burr-free cut, sharp contours, and minimal thermal stress on the material for maximum resistance to warping.
