Depth Caliper DIN 862 500 mm — 12 x 4 mm straight measuring rail (Helios‑Preisser)

The Depth Caliper DIN 862 500 mm is a vernier depth gauge designed for precise depth measurement in industrial and workshop environments, with a rigid straight rail for stable positioning.

• DIN 862-compliant construction
• 500 mm measuring range
• 12 x 4 mm straight measuring rail
• Matt-chromed vernier and laser scale

Accurate, standardised measurement for production control

The tool meets DIN 862 requirements and provides a 500 mm measuring range, making it suitable for larger depth checks where traceable, standardised results matter. The laser-engraved scale and matt-chromed vernier allow clear reading under workshop lighting and reduce the risk of misinterpretation during high-volume measurements. Because the graduations are applied by laser, the division accuracy remains stable over time, which supports quality assurance processes and reduces rework.

Stable design that improves measuring reliability

A 12 x 4 mm straight measuring rail gives a low-deflection guiding surface that resists bending when measuring deep bores or recesses. The integrated locking screw secures the slider once the measurement is taken, preventing accidental shifts and ensuring repeatability. The matt chrome finish on the scale and vernier lowers glare and provides corrosion resistance in workshop atmospheres, resulting in longer service life and less downtime for maintenance.

Practical handling, explanation and upkeep

The instrument functions as a vernier depth gauge: the main scale indicates millimetres while the vernier provides the finer subdivision for precise readings. Regular inspection is indicated for this class of tool (inspection required), and periodic calibration preserves traceability for production records. Routine care — keeping the rail and measuring faces clean, avoiding sharp impacts and storing the gauge in a protective case — maintains accuracy and extends service life, supporting predictable measurement results on the shop floor.

FAQ

How is the measuring range read on this depth caliper?
The 500 mm main scale provides coarse measurement in millimetres while the vernier supplies the fine division; the Depth Caliper DIN 862 500 mm combines both for precise depth readings.

Is the instrument suitable for workshop conditions?
Yes, the straight 12 x 4 mm rail and matt-chromed finish make the gauge robust for everyday workshop use while the laser-engraved scale ensures lasting legibility.

Does the depth gauge require regular inspection or calibration?
The device is marked as inspection required; routine calibration and checks keep the Helios‑Preisser depth caliper (SKU 4000851187NW) within tolerance and maintain traceability for quality records.
