Mitutoyo-SERIES 518 – High Performance 2D Measurement System-Linear Height

Excellent accuracy of (1.1+0.6L/600)μm with 0.1μm/0.4μm resolution/repeatability. High-accuracy Height Gage incorporating a wide range of measurement functions. To achieve best-in-class accuracy, a highaccuracy reflective-type linear encoder and high-accuracy guide are used. Measurement can be implemented by icon based commands that also support easy one key operation. Perpendicularity (frontal) of 5μm and straightness of 4μm are guaranteed. The TFT LCD
