Digital built-in caliper M218.256 — 300 mm capacitive system, stainless (Metav IndustryLine)

Digital built-in caliper M218.256 tailored for vertical panel mounting, offering a robust measuring solution for machine-shop inspection and production environments

• Capacitive measurement for stable digital readings
• 300 mm stainless design for workshop environments
• DIN 862 compliance for recognised traceability
• Multi-function display with mm/inch and TOL

Integration-ready format that keeps production moving

The built-in format allows direct installation into control panels and test fixtures, providing a compact interface for shop-floor measurement without bulky external housings. Fitted with a capacitive measuring system, this caliper delivers stable, repeatable outputs suitable for data logging via the RB 5 interface; the compact weight and stainless construction simplify installation and resist workshop contaminants. As a Standard-range instrument (0–300 mm), it balances reach and rigidity, making it appropriate for everyday machine-shop tasks and quality-control stations where consistent throughput and reliable data transfer are priorities.

Accuracy and traceability for routine quality checks

With a resolution of 0.01 mm on the digital display and an indicated accuracy of ±0.03 mm, the instrument is configured for standard industrial inspection per DIN 862. The numerical specifications support clear pass/fail decisions when combined with the display's tolerance function, reducing subjective judgement in repetitive checks. This level of performance addresses typical metrology needs in metalworking and engineering departments, offering confidence when documenting dimensions for production orders or inspection reports.

Practical operation and durable workshop design

Operation is focused on efficiency: the display provides ON/OFF, mm/inch, zero/absolute, tolerance (TOL), direction (DIR) and hold functions to speed routine measurements and support mixed workflows. The vertical stainless housing resists corrosion and is easy to clean after machining shifts, while the overall design supports straightforward panel mounting. Integration benefits are complemented by the unit’s modest mass and compact form factor, which reduce mechanical strain on mounting structures and help maintain measurement repeatability across long production runs.
