Condition
Used (Great Condition / Tool Only).
This specialised digital caliper is in great used condition. While it shows signs of cosmetic wear consistent with normal workshop service, the sliding action is smooth, and the electronics are fully functional. Please Note: This unit is sold as the “tool only” and does not include the original wooden box, or manuals. It is perfectly serviceable and ready for immediate use.
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 573-118-10 is a highly specialised Back-Jaw Centerline Caliper, designed to solve the difficult problem of measuring “Edge-to-Center” and “Center-to-Center” distances on stepped workpieces.
Unlike standard calipers, the jaws on this model are mounted on the back of the slider and beam, facing upwards. This unique configuration allows you to read the display easily from above while the jaws are engaged in a hole or against an edge underneath the tool.
This specific model (573-118 series) is the Edge-to-Center type, typically featuring a measuring range of 10mm to 200mm. It is equipped with an Offset Value Setting function, which allows you to program a compensation value (typically to account for the width of the jaws), enabling the display to read the direct pitch or edge distance without requiring manual calculation. It utilises Mitutoyo’s ABSOLUTE electrostatic linear encoder, ensuring the origin point is retained indefinitely.+2
Brand Information
Mitutoyo Corporation (est. 1934) is the global leader in dimensional metrology. The Series 573 “Special Purpose” calipers are engineered for specific geometric tasks that standard tools cannot perform accurately. The Back-Jaw design is a prime example of Mitutoyo’s ergonomic engineering, ensuring that difficult measurements on jigs and plates can be taken without the operator having to contort themselves to read the screen.
