This digital display system displays precise positioning on one axis. For use with machines that perform dry machining and cutting applications, such as table saws, band saws, planers, and drill presses. These scales have zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the scale is off. A zero-set button lets you start measuring at any point.

Mount one of these digital display systems onto your manual lathe to increase its accuracy. They measure and display precise tool positioning on two axes.

Measure diameters, angles, and other complex geometries—like an optical comparator—but without all the training. These gauges have an easy-to-use touch screen that guides you through taking measurements step-by-step. Extremely precise, they measure in the smallest increments of any height gauge in our offering, and they’re also our most accurate. Use them in machining and toolmaking to mark material before cutting it. To fly through big batches of work, program up to 50 types of repeated measurements.

From calibration reminders to calculation error alarms, these gauges have functions to make sure they give you accurate and consistent readings. Upon startup, they walk you through a scale check to detect traces of contamination that would cause errors. The air bearing system helps the slider glide smoothly up and down yet holds its spot steady when it’s time to measure. Rotate the screen to read it at the angle you need. Zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, retains the measuring position even when the gauge is turned off.

With up to two months of storage to record actions and measurements, these gauges create an archive you can look through and identify trends. Connect them via Bluetooth to your phone, tablet, or other devices to remotely monitor and analyze data in real time. Otherwise, use the SPC data output to connect to a computer or data processor. To send data right into programs such as Excel, use a USB cord or RS-232 cable (both not included).

View measurements on an LCD display to quickly confirm height before you mark and cut material. For high accuracy and precision, these height gauges use a linear scale with an encoder. Sensors in the encoder detect exact positions and convert them into electronic signals, getting rid of human error. With an SPC data output, you can connect these gauges to a computer or data processor to analyze data and monitor measurements in real time. They have zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the scale is off. All are rated IP54 to withstand dust and splashing water.
