(Mitutoyo: Aurora, IL) Mitutoyo America Corp. has released its new, High-Accuracy Digimatic Digital Micrometer, the first micrometer to offer 0.1 μm resolution measurement. Now high-accuracy measurement can be had in a convenient, handheld tool.

The High-Accuracy Digimatic Micrometer uses the Absolute rotary sensor, manufactured using Mitutoyo’s high-precision, screw-machining technology. This sensor reduces instrument error to ±0.5 μm to deliver high-accuracy with no trade-off in operability. The Absolute system eliminates the need to reset the origin each time power is turned on, enabling measurement immediately upon start up.

In addition, the measurement origin can be preset to any value within the display range to reduce setup time and improve repeatability. The display can be zeroed at any position, making comparison measurement easier. Display resolution can be switched to 0.5 μm if 0.1 μm measurement is not required.
