Microtest Digital Range

MICROTEST high precision mechanics are refined with high-tech electronics. As a result of intensive development it has now been possible to implement a digital module that enables even higher accuracies to be achieved than with analogue equipment. The measurement shaft, supported in two sets of ball bearing, carries a highly accurate sensor that generates 10,000 increments per rotation. The recording values measured in 100 nm steps improves the accuracy significantly.

The housing is manufactured from a glass fiber reinforced plastic and is fitted with cooling water-resistant seals at all entry points. The module meets the IP 67 standard of protection, is impact resistant, and can also with stand complete immersion in a swarf trough. A high contrast display with large numbers makes readout easier, even under difficult lighting conditions.

All important functions can be selected directly via one button. The operation has been kept simple, so that all important functions with only one key press can be reached. The digital module has a preset memory, where the reference dimension of the calibration ring, can be pre-programmed. This can be read, during the relevant calibration process by pressing the 0-button. Data transmission, as one of the most used additional functions can also be triggered directly.
