Digital Caliper
Starrett digital calipers are designed for measuring the internal and external distances of objects in manufacturing, research & development and scientific facilities. These measuring calipers have high contrast, easy to read LCD readout for displaying the measured values to decimal point accuracy. Starrett calipers have inch / millimeter metric conversion and induction type linear encoder system for high accuracy. They provide IP67 level of protection against dust, dirt, coolants and water usually found in machining shops and automotive facilities. These measurement calipers feature wireless data transmission for transferring the data saved to electronic devices and computers. They can transfer the data to devices in a range of 30 feet without any data loss. Starrett calipers have hardened stainless steel measuring surfaces for preventing damage or wear against abrasive substances and laboratory conditions. They feature heavy-duty slide and bar arrangement for durability and slide lock for locking the caliper in position for transferring measurements. These digital calipers have a rechargeable battery port for easily charging the battery on spot.
Uses
Starrett digital calipers are designed for measuring the external & internal dimensions of workpieces. These calipers are suitable for measuring objects in laboratories, manufacturing sites, automotive facilities, research centres and production lines. These digital calipers are also suitable for quality control applications.
Working Mechanism
Starrett calipers feature two sets of jaws that measure the diameters or distances related to workpieces. Once switched ON, these jaws are placed into the cavity that needs to be measured and the jaws are opened by sliding the measuring assembly. The digital display reads the distance between the measuring points of the object. The jaws of these calipers are then locked in position with a slide lock for measuring the value.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are digital calipers?
Digital calipers are highly accurate instruments critical for measuring in laboratories and scientific facilities. These digital calipers are accurate up to 0.0005 inches of the workpiece's inside & outside diameter and depth. Additionally, these instruments can also convert the measured value to the desired unit system with high accuracy.
How do digital calipers work?
Digital calipers can take accurate measurements using a series of capacitance sensors that run along the length of the beam of the caliper.
What is the tolerance value for digital calipers?
Digital calipers have a tolerance of 0.002 inches.
How to zero digital calipers?
These digital calipers have a zero button for setting the caliper reading to zero value the time it is closed. Once closed, the caliper reads 0.000 inches and is ready for taking measurements.
What measurements can be obtained from calipers?
Ideally, four types of measurements can be made from calipers. Measurements like object thickness, outside diameter, step distance, inside diameter and hole depth can be made from these instruments.
