Digimar 816 CL Height Gauge

The Digimar 816 CL Height Gauge provides highly accurate measurements without complicated procedures. Robust design and user-friendly operation combine with advanced features and functionality to improve dimensional measurement on the shop floor or in the lab.

The design uses a measuring head on stainless steel guideways and a dynamic probing system. Air bearings provide light and smooth movement, while accuracy and reliability are ensured by an optical incremental measurement system with a double-head reader which is impervious to dust and other contamination. A motorized measuring carriage minimizes operator influence on probe contact, increases accuracy, and simplifies measurement runs.

Key to measurement accuracy in production environments is the Digimar 816 CL's internal temperature compensation system. An integrated temperature sensor measures ambient temperature and automatically compensates for the thermal expansion of the workpiece.

All standard functions can be initiated with a single keystroke and additional functions are readily available through the menu. Measured values are clearly displayed on the control unit's high contrast back-lit graphic display, along with the current function being measured. Users may also retrace the measuring procedure in the list of measured values directly below the current value. Dynamic functions, such as max/min for parallel deviation and roundness deviation, and calculation functions, such as the distance between measured values, are also included.

The 816 CL can store up to 99 measured values. Data can be output via USB or OPTO RS232. An integrated, rechargeable battery provides a long operating time for independent measurement in addition to the main power adaptor. The Digimar 816 CL Height Gauge is available in two measuring ranges, 14 in. (350 mm) and 24 in. (600 mm)
