    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.

    For use in wet environments, these indicators are IP53 rated for limited protection from dust and spraying water. A spring-loaded plunger retracts and extends to measure objects. They have zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the indicator is off. A zero-set button lets you start measuring at any point. SPC data output allows for connection to a computer or data processor.

    Machine Tool Indicators

    Find the exact edge of a workpiece without math or guesswork to quickly align your machining setup. Unlike most edge finders, these indicators don't require you to monitor the contact point's position and then add or subtract its diameter. When the display shows zero, that's your edge. These indicators move along three axes, so you can also use them to measure part dimensions, check surface flatness, and locate the centers of holes. The display swivels, eliminating the need to lean into your machine or set up mirrors to measure the back of your part.
    Insert these indicators into your CNC or manual milling machine, adjust the set screws at the top to calibrate them, and they're ready to go. To stop the indicator from breaking, the contact point has a ceramic body that fractures if it collides with your part. Just screw on a new contact point to replace it without having to re-calibrate.

    These indicators have zero-position memory, also called absolute (ABS) positioning, which saves their position even when turned off. Press the button to set them to zero and start measuring at any point. The large numbers on the display are easy to read from far away, such as when mounted at the center of a large CNC machine.
