Depth Caliper DIN 862 200 mm — straight 8×3 mm beam, laser‑etched scale (Helios‑Preisser)

The Depth Caliper DIN 862 200 mm is a precision instrument for depth measurement in workshop and inspection environments, designed for repeatable results and straightforward integration into quality control routines

• Straight 8 x 3 mm measuring beam
• Laser‑etched scale and matt‑chrome vernier
• Locking screw for secure measurement
• DIN 862 standard, inspection required

Stable, high‑precision depth readings for production control

The combination of a rigid 8 x 3 mm measuring beam and a laser‑etched scale provides high legibility and long‑term marking durability, which reduces re‑reading errors during repetitive tasks. The DIN 862 designation indicates the instrument is manufactured to a recognised metrology standard, ensuring that measurements are taken to a comparable industrial norm. The matt‑chrome finish on the vernier and main scale minimises reflections under workshop lighting and preserves contrast between graduations, making the unit suitable for both bench and machine‑side measurement. Such attributes support reliable data capture when documenting depth values for process control.

Secure handling and repeatable setups for inspection routines

A locking screw secures the slider once a depth is set, preventing slippage during transfer or marking operations and enabling repeatable setups for series work. The caliper’s straight beam geometry stabilises the measuring action and reduces lateral play, which is particularly beneficial when measuring narrow recesses or stepped features. Because the instrument is marked as inspection required, it aligns with routine calibration cycles and traceability demands within accredited quality systems, simplifying inclusion in audit‑ready measurement procedures.

Practical design that fits everyday workshop use

The tool’s construction focuses on practical durability rather than unnecessary complexity: the matt‑chrome surfaces are easy to clean and maintain, while the vernier format delivers a tactile, analogue reading that remains independent of batteries or electronics. The clear, laser‑etched graduations allow users with varying levels of metrology experience to interpret measurements confidently, and the slim profile is suited for confined areas where depth measurement is needed. The caliper performs consistently in typical industrial settings without the need for additional accessories.

Integrating the caliper into a quality workflow

When introduced into a workshop’s measurement protocol, the instrument supports quick checks during machining or assembly and provides a physical reference for deeper inspection steps. Its compatibility with standard inspection practices makes it straightforward to document results and retain proof of measurement. For teams scaling up process control, the caliper’s solid mechanical design offers a pragmatic, low‑maintenance solution that complements more advanced digital metrology equipment.

FAQ

What measuring range does the instrument cover?
The Depth Caliper DIN 862 200 mm (Helios‑Preisser, SKU 4000851185NW) covers a measuring range of 200 mm, suitable for most workshop depth checks.

Is the scale durable for frequent workshop use?
Yes — the caliper’s graduations are laser‑etched and the vernier and scale are matt‑chrome plated, so markings resist wear and remain legible under regular use.

Does the caliper need to be included in calibration cycles?
The instrument is marked as inspection required; therefore the Depth Caliper DIN 862 200 mm should be incorporated into the workshop’s calibration and traceability schedule.

How does the locking screw affect measurement repeatability?
The locking screw secures the slider to prevent movement after setting a depth, improving repeatability for series measurements and transfer tasks.

Is the instrument compliant with an industrial standard?
Yes — the caliper is manufactured to DIN 862, which denotes an established standard for vernier calipers used in industrial measurement.
