Precision Scribing Caliper M201.143 – 400 mm T‑form, 160 mm stop (Metav IndustryLine)

The Precision Scribing Caliper M201.143 is an analogue, T‑form layout instrument designed for accurate scribing and dimensional control in toolrooms, fixture assembly and mould making across medium‑sized components.

• Precision analogue readout 0.05 mm resolution
• Hardened special steel, matt chrome finish
• T‑form with 160 mm scribing stop
• Fine‑adjustment screw for controlled setting

Accurate layout for medium assemblies

The 400 mm measuring span classifies this instrument as a medium‑range caliper, offering the best compromise between reach and rigidity for workshop tasks such as fixture set‑up, housing checks and mould alignment. The analogue 0.05 mm graduation places the tool within the industrial standard for mechanical calipers, allowing reliable transfer of nominal dimensions during layout. The T‑shape geometry provides a stable datum plane and improved leverage when scribing along edges, which reduces motion-induced error compared with conventional straight‑jaw designs.

Controlled movement for repeatable marking

A dedicated fine‑adjustment screw ensures that the scriber or marking point can be positioned smoothly and held without backlash, preserving repeatability across multiple parts. The robust carriage glides on hardened guides and the matt chrome surface reduces glare while resisting shop wear. This combination of controlled feed and hardened contact surfaces reduces variation in successive marks, supporting faster downstream machining and quality checks — a direct efficiency gain for production workflows.

Built for shopfloor durability and clear handling

Constructed from hardened special steel with a matt‑chromed finish, the scribing caliper stands up to typical workshop environments where oils, chips and repeated handling occur. The T‑form configuration with a 160 mm stop converts into a practical layout tool for operations that need fixed offset scribing or repeat stops for patterns and multiple identical components. The analogue scale and solid frame make the instrument simple to maintain and straightforward to inspect during routine metrology audits.

Delivery and application notes that matter

The caliper is supplied in a transport case to protect the instrument during shipping and temporary storage; the case is designed for safe handling rather than long‑term bench storage. As an analogue medium‑range layout instrument it integrates readily into production and inspection routines where mechanical robustness and simple, verifiable readings are preferred. For workshop planners, this instrument reduces set‑up time for jigs and provides a durable solution for repeated marking tasks.
