Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 500-153 is a standard-setting digital caliper from the “Digimatic” series, renowned for its reliability in industrial and workshop settings. With a measuring capacity of 0mm to 300mm (12 inches), this model is versatile enough for larger workpieces that exceed the range of standard 150mm calipers. It features Mitutoyo’s Absolute (ABS) sensor technology, which tracks the origin point once set, eliminating the need to zero the display every time the unit is powered on. This ensures immediate measurement readiness and prevents overspeed errors. The large LCD display provides clear, fatigue-free reading of inside, outside, depth, and step measurements.
