History

Commtest made a name for ourselves by bringing new and competitive products to market with remarkable speed and success. Commtest Instruments Ltd began in 1989 with the release of our first product, the Profiler data logger.

In 1993 Commtest became an independent company with our own unique identity and vision. A core feature of this vision was to design and produce outstanding electronic instruments recognised for their innovation and value. True to this desire, Commtest Instruments is a recognised world leader, used by major industrial companies in over 50 countries.

The next Commtest product was a fully portable data logger. First released in 1997, these instruments set new standards in three critical areas: measurement flexibility, ease of use and affordability.

Always looking to scale new summits, Commtest’s design team next created the vbSeries of vibration and balancing instruments, which debuted in April 1999. Following the same customer-focused vision, the vbSeries instruments are full featured yet easy-to-use vibration analyzers offered at a price nothing short of revolutionary.

While Commtest’s substantial product range already provides us with a wide customer base, we continue to invest heavily in Research & Development projects. With an eye firmly fixed on future product creation and enhancement, our ongoing goal is to enter into additional markets where there are even more customers to delight. The dual channel vb7 vibration analyzer was released in 2007. This was soon followed by single channel vb5 data collector, four channel vb6 data collector, and the four channel vb8 vibration analyzer. In addition, Commtest introduced two dedicated balancing instruments, the dual channel vbBalancer and the four channel vbBalancer+.
