Depth Gauge M204.052 (Analogue) — 400 mm range, 0.05 mm resolution — Metav IndustryLine

The Depth Gauge M204.052 is an analogue depth caliper designed for precise depth measurements in tooling, jigs and general machine construction, manufactured to meet DIN 862 requirements.

• Stainless steel construction, matt-chrome scale and vernier
• 400 mm measuring range, medium-range caliper
• 0.05 mm vernier accuracy according to DIN 862
• Locking screw for repeatable readings

Precision where every tenth of a millimetre counts

The instrument offers a 0.05 mm vernier resolution, which corresponds to the industrial standard for mechanical calipers and aligns with DIN 862. This level of accuracy makes the device suitable for routine quality control tasks and workshop inspections where repeatable depth readings are required. The analogue vernier provides a direct, maintenance‑free measurement method that avoids battery dependencies and suits harsh environments where electronic displays might be vulnerable. Readings are straightforward and the vernier scale can be interpreted quickly after brief familiarisation.

Durable design built for daily workshop use

Constructed from stainless steel with a matt-chrome finish on the scale and vernier, the gauge resists corrosion and retains legibility in busy shop conditions. The robust beam geometry gives the instrument the necessary stiffness for medium-range measurements, reducing play and measurement uncertainty. A locking screw secures the slider for repeatable checks and prevents accidental movement during transfer or comparison tasks. The overall build prioritises longevity and consistent performance under repetitive use.

Medium-range capability for versatile applications

With a 400 mm measuring range the caliper sits in the medium category, offering the best balance between reach and rigidity for components such as fixtures, housings and medium‑sized assemblies. This range is particularly useful in jigs, mould tooling and general metalworking where one instrument must cover multiple tasks. The instrument’s dimensions and handling characteristics are optimised to remain controllable by a single operator while still providing access to deeper recesses that shorter gauges cannot reach.

Practical integration into inspection routines

Conformance to DIN 862 simplifies documentation and quality records, allowing the caliper to be used directly within standard inspection plans. The analogue design requires no software integration, which shortens the route from measurement to documentation when manual recording is preferred. For systematic quality control, the gauge complements digital instruments and micrometres by covering depth-specific tasks; it is ideal for workshops seeking robust, low-complexity tools that ensure repeatable results day after day.
