Description
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 500-171-30 is the classic Absolute Digimatic Caliper (0-150mm). This is the industry-standard digital caliper found in inspection rooms worldwide, renowned for its reliability and battery life.
- Absolute System: Features Mitutoyo’s proprietary ABSOLUTE scale technology. Once the zero point is set, the caliper “remembers” its position even when turned off. You can power it on and measure immediately without re-zeroing.
- SPC Data Output: Unlike the cheaper “MyCal-Lite” or standard AOS models, this specific model features a Data Output Port. This allows connection to a PC or printer (via a waterproof cable, sold separately) for recording measurement data—a critical feature for Quality Assurance documentation.
- Precision: It delivers error-free high-speed response (no “overspeed” errors) and measures with a resolution of 0.01mm.
