Z-axis setting device M208.082 — External dial gauge, magnetic base (Metav IndustryLine)

Z-axis setting device M208.082 delivers axial reference determination for machine set-ups, using an external analogue dial gauge and a magnetic base for secure positioning.

• Precision 0.01 mm resolution
• Magnetic base for stable mounting
• 40 mm diameter external dial gauge
• 50 mm reference height for axial set-up

Fast, repeatable Z‑axis referencing for set-ups

The Z‑axis setting device M208.082 is designed to convert fine mechanical movement into a clear analogue indication, enabling rapid detection of the axial zero point. With a 0.01 mm reading it supplies sufficiently fine resolution for workshop and machine‑tool alignment tasks, so check procedures and tool offsets can be set with confidence. The compact design reduces interference during approach and supports quicker cycle‑time adjustments in standard production environments.

Stable mounting that improves repeatability

A magnetic base provides a rigid, vibration‑resistant hold on ferrous surfaces, which translates directly into more reproducible measurements during set‑up operations. The 50 mm reference height offers a predictable datum for repeated procedures, while the modest mass of 1.25 kg keeps the assembly easy to position without compromising stability. This combination reduces rework and minimises downtime when changing fixtures or tools.

Immediate analogue feedback for precise fine adjustments

The large 40 mm dial gauge gives high visual contrast and quick interpretation of small displacements, supporting hands‑on manual adjustment. The analogue display, with a clear 0.01 mm graduation, allows the operator to respond instantly to tiny deviations; this is particularly useful when aligning spindle heights or setting tool offsets, where small corrections have a large effect on final tolerances. The familiar dial format also eases integration into established working routines.

Compact probe geometry for confined spaces

A 33.5 mm probe diameter and overall compact footprint make the setting assembly suitable for axial referencing in constrained machine beds and on various workholding devices. The unit is intended specifically for determining the reference point of a workpiece in the axial (Z) direction, so it pairs well with manual and CNC machine tool set‑ups where repeatable zeroing is essential. Robust mechanical construction supports routine workshop handling.
