Height gauge M206.044.1 – 600 mm analogue height gauge with carbide scribing needle (Metav IndustryLine)

The M206.044.1 height gauge is an analogue layout instrument designed for marking and setting out larger components in machine and tool workshops, offering a clear vernier readout and a magnifying lens for improved legibility.

• 600 mm measuring range for large components
• Carbide scribing needle for durable marking
• Fine adjustment and adjustable scale for precise settings

Precision for heavy‑duty layout work

This layout instrument delivers measured control across a 600 mm span with an accuracy of 0.07 mm and a vernier reading of 0.05 mm, conforming to DIN 862 for mechanical gauges. The analogue vernier principle gives direct, tactile feedback when setting heights, which is often preferred in production environments where fast, repeatable adjustments are required. The combination of stable mechanics and defined reading steps reduces setup time and supports consistent results across batch runs.

Built for workshop durability and repeatable marks

Constructed from special tool steel, with scale and vernier matt chrome-plated for long-term corrosion resistance, the instrument is engineered to withstand workshop conditions. The carbide scribing needle guarantees crisp, long-lasting layout lines on ferrous and non-ferrous materials, while the substantial instrument mass (approx. 11.5 kg) and robust mounting profile ensure stability during marking. With a measuring range that places it in the "Mit Gross" class, this gauge is suited to large fixtures, heavy workpieces and general heavy‑duty marking tasks.

Practical features that speed up everyday tasks

The integrated magnifying lens enhances legibility of the vernier for precise readings, while the fine adjustment mechanism allows micro‑movement corrections without losing reference. The scale is easily adjustable to compensate for wear or to set offsets, and the 12 x 30 clamp secures the slider reliably. These features cut rework by allowing controlled, confident scribing and quicker alignment — a rational improvement that saves time on repetitive layout jobs.

Where this instrument adds value and how to care for it

Ideal for machine shops, jig and fixture production, and heavy fabrication, the gauge supports accurate transfer of heights and datum lines across large components. Routine maintenance is straightforward: keep the guide ways clean, protect the carbide needle when not in use and check the clamping screws for secure fixation. The mechanical design eases onsite calibration checks against gauge blocks; traceable calibration can be arranged through Metav for users requiring documented verification.
