Best-in-class accuracy ±(2.4+2.1L/600)μm- Newly developed high accuracy and high resolution ABSOLUTE linear encoder for position detection. Once origin is set, origin setting is not required each time you turn the power ON (except in the case of a large environmental temperature change).
- GO/±NG judgment is performed by setting upper and lower tolerances. If a judgment result is out of tolerance, the display backlighting changes from green to red, so tolerance judgment can be made at a Glance
- Frequent-use measurement such as inside/ outside diameter and pitch calculation can be implemented by icon-based commands that also support easy one-key operation.
- Possible to measure inside/outside diameters via a unique method (detect the circle apex and process by tracing measurement*).
- Tracing measurement stroke is 1mm upwards and downwards from the measurement start point.
- Built-in air-suspension feature mechanism using an internal pump enables smooth movement over a surface plate. (Lower-cost version without air suspension also available.)
- With SPC and RS-232C
- Continuous battery life of 300 hours*5 using four alkaline (Also works with four NiMH AA/HR6 rechargeable batteries.)

*1 The indication accuracy and repeatability represent the values obtained from the height measurement of a flat surface using the standard holder with ø5 ball contact point. In the case of diameter, minimum (maximum) value, circle pitch or difference measurement, measuring errors may be larger than the accuracy ratings listed in the table due to variations in measuring force during a scanning measurement, which differs from height measurement.
*2 Indicates the value obtained from the measurement of a straight surface placed perpendicular to the the base reference surface using the Lever Head (MLH-321) and Mu-checker (M-411).
*3 Requires special communication driver and software. Consult your local Mitutoyo Sales Office for details. These can be downloaded from the Mitutoyo web site.
*4 When using a model with the air-suspension feature, it is advisable to use a JIS 1 class, or higher, surface plate. Using on surfaces with scratches or unevenness may prevent the system operating to the specified performance.
*5 Battery life depends on the operating conditions. In particular, it is more economical to use the optional AC adapter to power the instrument if the application requires prolonged use of the air-suspension feature.
