Accuracy and performance that reduces rework

The built‑in design combines a capacitive measuring system with a standard digital readout to deliver a 0.01 mm reading and an industry‑grade ±0.02 mm accuracy (specified for this measuring range). This means fewer ambiguous measurements and a lower risk of rework: the capacitive system records position changes without mechanical wear, improving long‑term repeatability. In practice, the compact 100 mm format is ideal for routine quality control and inline checks where space is limited but precision remains essential.

Integration and data handling for efficient production

Designed for flush mounting, the instrument provides a reliable electrical interface (RB 5) and a multifunction display with ON/OFF, mm/inch, zero/ABS, TOL and HOLD functions for straightforward setup and tolerance control. The built‑in configuration simplifies installation into jigs or fixtures, enabling direct measurement transfer to data acquisition systems and reducing manual logging. The combination of digital output and straightforward controls speeds up inspection cycles and supports traceable production workflows.

Practical benefits for workshop and small‑series manufacturing

At a weight of just 0.35 kg and a compact construction, this caliper is easy to mount and keeps the measuring station uncluttered. The vertical, stainless design resists shop contaminants and suits both machine tool enclosures and assembly stations. Compliance with DIN 862 provides a common reference for calibration and process documentation; together with the device’s bidirectional measurement capability, it supports a wide range of contact‑based checks from simple outside measurements to dedicated fixture applications.

Why this instrument suits quality‑minded teams

The caliper’s technical balance—compact range, capacitive sensing and dependable digital output—addresses the principal need of production teams: fast, reproducible checks with minimal setup time. Metav’s curated range and warehouse in Emmerich act as a quality filter for the European market, giving purchasing teams confidence that the instrument meets workshop demands and will be supported across the supply chain. The result is a measurable reduction in inspection time and better alignment with process control targets.
