    Read measurements from up to 4 ft. away. Instead of a dial on the probe, these indicators have a cord that connects the probe to the display. This also makes it easy to fit the probe into tight spaces. To measure objects, they have a spring-loaded plunger that retracts and extends. Use them in machine shops where it’s dusty, wet, or exposed to coolant because they’re IP rated.
    All have zero-position memory, which retains the measuring position when the indicator is off. This is also known as absolute (ABS) positioning. A zero-set button lets you start measuring at any point. The go/no-go operation indicates when measurements fall outside your set tolerance. You can connect them to your computer or data processor since they have SPC data output.

    Also known as test indicators, these have a lever-style contact point that pivots as it comes into contact with a surface. Rotate the dial face for viewing at multiple angles. They have selectable measurement increments and can be displayed as digits or in a bar graph. Transmit measurement data to any Bluetooth-enabled device without being tethered by a cable. These indicators are rated IP65 for protection against dust and spraying water or coolant.

    Often used in machine shops, these indicators are rated IP65 for protection from dust, spraying water, and coolant. They have a continuous dial numbered clockwise around the face, so it’s easy to see how much a dimension increases. A spring-loaded plunger retracts and extends to measure objects. Adjust the tolerance pointers to mark measurements that fall outside your limits.
