Mahr Federal Introduces Digital Universal Caliper

By DE Editors  

May 4, 2016

Mahr Federal wireless data transmission capability is now integrated within its families of MarCal digital calipers and MarCator digital indicators using wireless technology.

Low power transmitters in MarCal digital calipers and MarCator digital indicators eliminate expensive power hungry add-on transmitters that can make gages bulky and interfere with portability, saving hundreds of dollars compared to "add-on" wireless transmitter based systems, according to a company press release. Each MarConnect i-stick wireless receiver supports up to eight measuring instruments with a range of up to 12 meters, perfect for most bench-top or workstation applications.

Mahr's line of mechanical comparative gages can now be upgraded for wireless data transmission with the addition of a MarCator 1086 or 1087 wireless digital indicator. The line includes a wide array of snap gages, ID & OD gages, fixed and adjustable bore gages, as well as depth and comparator stands. The addition of wireless digital indicators makes these gages faster and more productive than ever before, the company states.

MarCal 16 EWRi digital calipers have a digital display, lapped guideways, a reference system that retains the zero position setting and a number of product options and accessories. MarCal 16 EWRi digital calipers are protected against dust and immersion to class IP67.
