Whether a component completely fulfils its function and continuously delivers the required performance is dependent on high-precision manufacturing. Height measuring gauges from Mahr enable users to measure lengths, distances, diameters, and the perpendicularity of components to the exact micrometre. Mahr height gauges are now available in the UK from Market Harborough-based Optimax Imaging and Inspection.

The latest range of the height-measuring device, the Mahr Digimar 817 CLT can quickly measure components. A pivotable touchscreen ensures that the Digimar 817 CLT is as easy to operate as a tablet. Large buttons, clearly structured menus, and self-explanatory icons ensure tasks can be completed quickly and efficiently while also helping to reduce the number of errors.

Furthermore, function keys on the side and a thumbwheel make it easy to position the measuring slide and begin the measurement process. Handles on both sides and the integrated air bearing guarantee that users can accurately and easily move their device on the measuring plate. The new height measuring device is available in three measuring ranges — 350, 600 and 1,000mm.

High resolution down to 0.0001mm with an error limit of only (1.8 + L/600), L in mm makes this an ideal tool for most measurement applications.
