The Mitutoyo Series 500 Absolute Digimatic Caliper features exclusive Absolute Encoder Technology, designed to eliminate the need to reset the origin after powering on and prevent overspeed errors. This standard digital caliper is engineered to reduce human error through clear digital measurement readouts. Carbide-tipped jaw variants are optimal for measuring rough-finished parts, castings, and grinding stones. Models equipped with SPC data output allow seamless integration into statistical process control and measurement systems.
- Absolute Measurement System: Retains the origin setting even when powered off; no need to reset the origin after switching on, and eliminates overspeed measurement errors.
- Incremental Measurement: Allows the displayed value to be set to zero at any position for comparative measurements.
- Low-Voltage Alert: Displays a "B" warning mark when battery voltage is low, allowing timely battery replacement before measurement becomes impossible.
- Data Output: Selected models feature an output port for transferring measurement data to SPC systems.
- Carbide-Tipped Jaws (Specific Models): Optimized for rough-finished parts, castings, and grinding stones.
