Style:With Certificate of Traceability to NIST
The calibrated Mitutoyo 500-474CAL Absolute Solar Digimatic
digital caliper is for measuring inside and outside diameter,
depth, and step of items. This caliper has a measurement range of
0 to 6" (0 to 150mm), resolution of 0.0005" (0.01mm), and an
accuracy of + or - 0.001". The LCD screen displays in inches and
metric units. This unit has a thumb roller and Absolute
electrostatic capacitance-type linear encoder for accurate
measurements and a blade depth bar for measuring narrow grooves
and recesses. It is powered by a solar cell that can be used
continuously above 60 lux ambient illumination. Mitutoyo
calibrated tools include a Certificate of Calibration that
provides evidence that the tool has been calibrated and is within
allowable error specifications. Mitutoyo calibrated tools are
certified by Mitutoyo's American Association for Laboratory
Accreditation-accredited calibration laboratory (A2LA Certificate
#750-01) to the International Organization for
Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission
(ISO/IEC) 17025 International Standard for testing and
calibration laboratories.
Additional functions offered by this caliper include absolute
measurement, origin set, data hold, and computing error alert.
This unit comes with a solar cell and a fitted, plastic case.

Digital calipers are measuring instruments commonly used for
inspection in manufacturing to provide the precise measurements
of an object. A pair of jaws attached to a long beam with a
marked scale is used to take inside, outside, and step
measurements. An additional depth probe slides along the beam to
take depth measurements. One jaw is fixed to the end of the
scale, while the other jaw slides along it with gearless
precision to take measurements. The reading is electronically
generated and displayed on a digital, high-resolution screen as a
single value. Digital calipers can take differential measurements
that are used to determine the difference in measurements between
two objects, by zeroing the display at any point along the scale.
Some digital calipers can switch between standard and metric
units, and some can output readings to a computer or printer for
measurements. Caliper gages are used in production
settings where specific diametrical or thickness measurements
must be repeated frequently with precision and accuracy. Compared
to dial calipers, digital calipers provide measurements that are
faster, easier, and more error-free, but they are more fragile
mechanically and electronically, and do not resist coolant well.
Vernier calipers are more durable than digital calipers because
they do not have internal moving parts, but they can be more
difficult to read. Digital calipers are commonly used in fields
such as metalworking, mechanical engineering, machining,
carpentry, and medicine.
Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology
equipment, and related systems. The company, founded in Tokyo in
1934, formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963 with
headquarters in Aurora, IL.
