exhibits the new LH-600F at , booth 3111. The Mitutoyo LH-600F Linear Height Measurement System is the latest model in the Mitutoyo Linear Height Gage line. It has several new features, including a high-accuracy scale unit and guiding mechanism manufactured in Mitutoyo’s Japanese facilities.
The LH-600F now features a touchscreen interface that is designed for easy and intuitive operation, enabling users to measure with the press of a button or through touchscreen icons. The rotatable and adjustable display of the LH-600F also enables use from both front and rear orientations as well. There are also new output options, including a Digimatic output that enables data to be sent directly to Excel or statistical process control (SPC) software, wired or wirelessly, while maintaining USB and RS232C output capabilities.
Additional features include: a new self-check feature that can detect dirt or oil on the encoder, ensuring the instrument is clean and able to provide accurate measurements; the ability to make instant changes to units, resolution and delta measurement from the previous reading; an air bearing system that makes it easy to move the height gage around; motorized capabilities that provide better repeatability and reproducibility along with improved 2D mode to measure angles, bolt hole circles and more; a new optional foot switch for hands-free repeat measuring of volume parts; and multiple probe options and switchable probe positions for better perpendicularity and straightness measurements.
The LH-600F is said to provide excellent accuracy of 1.1+0.6L/600 μm with 0.1 μm/0.5 μm resolution/repeatability. It is available in both imperial and metric models.
