Digital flush-mounted caliper M218.156.N — 300 mm, 0.01 mm resolution, Metav IndustryLine

M218.156.N is a horizontal, compact digital flush-mounted caliper designed for standard machine‑shop and workshop measurement tasks up to 300 mm.

• Digital display with 0.01 mm resolution
• 300 mm measurement range for workshop use
• Hardened stainless steel construction
• Complies with DIN 862 standard

Precise readings that reduce rework

The instrument offers a resolution of 0.01 mm combined with a stated accuracy of ±0.03 mm, providing the repeatability required for routine quality checks and machine‑shop inspections. Classified in the Standard range (measurement span to 300 mm), the device balances reach and rigidity so that one‑handed measurements remain reliable across common components. The clear digital display and straightforward key set make rapid decisions possible, supporting lean production workflows and lower scrap rates.

Robust design and straightforward operation

Built from hardened stainless steel, the caliper withstands workshop environments while preserving measuring faces and slide integrity. The small, horizontal housing suits flush or panel mounting where space is limited; at approximately 0.4 kg the unit is lightweight for installation without compromising profile stiffness. Operation is simple: the display includes ON/OFF, ZERO, UNIT and HOLD functions for quick setup, unit switching and temporary value retention. Powered by a 3 V supply, the instrument is optimised for low energy consumption and extended service intervals.

Data output and practical integration

A dedicated RB 5 data output enables digital capture of measurements for SPC collection or direct transfer to inspection software, reducing transcription errors and speeding up process documentation. The caliper’s adherence to DIN 862 ensures compatibility with established measuring procedures and acceptance criteria, making it a pragmatic choice for production, incoming goods inspection and workshop fixtures. Integration capability and clear traceable results translate into measurable time savings on repetitive tasks.
