Mitutoyo America Corporation announces availability of its
new, High-Accuracy Digimatic® Digital Micrometer – the first micrometer to
offer 0.1μm resolution measurement. Now, high-accuracy measurement can be had
in a convenient, hand-held tool.
The High-Accuracy Digimatic® Micrometer utilizes the
Absolute® rotary sensor (patent pending) manufactured utilizing Mitutoyo’s own
high precision screw machining technology. This sensor reduces instrument error
to ±0.5μm to deliver high-accuracy with no trade-off in operability. The
Absolute® system eliminates the need to reset the origin each time power is
turned on thus enabling measurement immediately upon start-up. In addition, the
measurement origin can be preset to any value within the display range to
reduce set-up time and improve repeatability. The display can be zeroed at any
position, making comparison measurement easier. Display resolution can be
switched to 0.5μm if 0.1μm measurement is not required.
The Mitutoyo High-Accuracy Digimatic® Micrometer features an
extremely rigid frame for stable measurement while a constant-force
barrel/spindle mechanism eliminates the possibility of overspeed errors.
Transference of body heat to the instrument is reduced by use of a heat shield
(removable), minimizing errors attributable to thermal expansion while handheld
measurements are performed.
Additionally, the Mitutoyo High-Accuracy Digimatic® Micrometer
supports output to measurement data applications such as MeasurLink®,
Mitutoyo’s proprietary statistical-processing and process-control program which
performs statistical analysis and provides real-time display of measurement
results for SPC applications. The program can also be linked to a higher-level
network environment for enterprise-wide functionality.
