Mitutoyo Series 500 IP67 ABSOLUTE Coolant-Proof Calipers
The Mitutoyo ABSOLUTE coolant proof caliper delivers accurate, repeatable outside dimension, inside dimension, depth and step measurements with accuracy and unrestricted speed in an ergonomic design. The caliper’s slide and jaws are constructed of hardened stainless steel and provide an impact-resistant, easy-to-ready LCD display for durable, reliable use. The ABSOLUTE caliper can be used in workshop conditions exposed to coolant, water, dust and oil. Built-in ABS (absolute) scale means that these calipers are ready to use immediately after power-on without origin resetting. The SPC output function allows for quick and easy data management in real time.
Coolant-Proof IP67
Coolant-Proof is the universal term of Mitutoyo Digimatic Small Tool Instruments that are free from measurement error and physical deterioration due to routine exposure to water, cutting oil or coolant. This high performance is achieved by using encoders that are inherently immune to contamination, where exposure is inevitable, combined with comprehensive sealing techniques and extremely oil resistant materials to guarantee a long working life under normal operating conditions.
ABSOLUTE Linear Encoder
This is an electronic measuring scale that provides a direct readout of absolute linear position when switched on, without needing to be zeroed or reset. Electrostatic, electromagnetic and a combination of electrostatic and optical methods are used in implementing this capability but the key feature is Mitutoyo’s patented technology of building absolute positional information into the scale so it can be read at start up. These linear encoders are widely used in Mitutoyo’s measuring instruments as the in-built length standard and their use greatly contributes to the generation of highly reliable measurement data, particularly in harsh environments where contamination by cutting fluids, coolants and dust must not affect performance.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) Output
Statistical process control is the application of statistical methods to monitor and control a process, enabling more efficient quality control. This helps to ensure the process operates as efficiently, producing more specification-confirming products with less waste. SPC cables are used to output measurement data from the Digimatic gage with the output feature to the Digimatic mini processor, Digimatic display unit, multiplexer or other device.
