Mitutoyo Advanced Onsite Sensor (AOS) Digital Caliper

The Mitutoyo 500-196-30 digital caliper, a versatile measuring instrument, boasts a range of 0 to 6" (0 to 150mm) with an impressive 0.0005" (0.01mm) increments, ensuring precision. Its advanced onsite sensor (AOS) electromagnetic inductive sensor provides resistance to dirt, oil, and water, making it a durable choice. The digital readout LCD offers the convenience of displaying measurements in either inch or metric units, allowing users to switch between the two as needed. Additionally, the caliper supports both absolute and incremental measurement readings, enhancing its flexibility. Capable of measuring inside, outside, depth, and step values, this digital caliper is a versatile tool suitable for a wide range of applications. Included in the package are a protective case and an SR44 silver oxide battery, ensuring the caliper's longevity and protection.

Digital calipers are widely used in various industries, including metalworking, mechanical engineering, machining, carpentry, and medicine, for their precise and efficient measurement capabilities. Unlike traditional dial calipers, digital calipers provide faster, easier, and more error-free measurements. However, they are generally more fragile, both mechanically and electronically, and may not resist coolant as well as their dial counterparts. Vernier calipers, on the other hand, are more durable due to their lack of internal moving parts, but can be more challenging to read.

Mitutoyo, a respected manufacturer of precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and related systems, was founded in Tokyo, Japan, in 1934. The company established Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963, headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, further expanding its global reach and commitment to providing high-quality measuring solutions.
