500 mm rod caliper with carbide tips — vernier rod caliper by Metav IndustryLine

A 500 mm rod caliper with carbide tips designed for medium‑range workshop and fixture measurements, providing steady guidance and repeatable contact on larger assemblies.

• Robust stainless steel construction
• Replaceable carbide tips for long life
• Vernier scale with matt‑chrome graduations
• Fine adjustment for controlled contact

Reliable measurement for medium‑sized components

Built for the demands of jig, fixture and mould fabrication, this caliper delivers a measured compromise between reach and rigidity. The 500 mm measurement span places the instrument in the medium range for calipers, suitable where extended reach is required without excessive flex. Constructed from stainless steel with a vernier scale, the tool offers consistent stiffness across its length so that single‑handed measurements remain reproducible and suitable for routine workshop quality checks.

Durable carbide tips and controlled contact

The inclusion of replaceable carbide tips extends service life where repeated contact or abrasive edges are present; carbide resists wear far better than standard steel. The integrated fine adjustment mechanism permits gradual closing pressure, reducing operator‑induced variation during measurement. Together these features support a lower process variation and longer intervals between maintenance or tip replacement.

Clear reading and vernier precision

The vernier division with matt‑chrome graduations is calibrated for practical readability in workshop light. With a typical vernier resolution of 0.05 mm, the instrument fits industrial tolerances for general metalworking and machine‑shop tasks. The scale layout and contrast aid rapid interpretation, while the mechanical nonius avoids electronic dependency for environments where robustness and simplicity are priorities.

Practical handling and workshop integration

At a measured mass of 4 kg, the instrument offers stable handling when measuring larger castings or assemblies; the weight contributes to stable contact yet remains manageable for two‑person handling where necessary. The design emphasises serviceability: tips are user‑replaceable and the mechanism is straightforward to maintain. For process implementation, this caliper integrates easily into inspection benches or jigs as a reliable analogue measuring reference.

FAQ

How accurate is the reading on this caliper?
The vernier layout provides a practical 0.05 mm reading resolution, matching typical industrial tolerances for mechanical workshop work with the M201.174 rod caliper.

Are the carbide tips replaceable and economical to service?
Yes, the tool features replaceable carbide tips, allowing targeted renewal of wear parts without replacing the entire instrument; this supports lower life‑cycle costs for the Metav IndustryLine caliper.

Is this instrument suitable for measuring larger assemblies?
The 500 mm measurement range positions the caliper in the medium category, making it appropriate for larger components, fixture parts and many mould elements where repeatable stiffness and reach are required.

Does the caliper require electronic power or special maintenance?
The caliper is an analogue vernier instrument with mechanical fine adjustment and does not require power; routine maintenance is limited to tip inspection and lubrication of the slide.

Which workshop applications match the design of this caliper?
Typical uses include machine‑shop inspection, jig and fixture setup and mould component measurement, where robust contact points and stable guidance are priorities for repeatable results.
