The new Litematic VL-50A claims both high accuracy and very low measurement force (Plate 3).

Plate 3 The Litematic VL-50A

With an accuracy stated to be (at 20°C) of (0.5+L/100) μm at a measuring range of 50 mm/2 in., selectable resolution of 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 μmm (0.0000005, 0.000005 and 0.00005 in.) and a measuring force of 0.01 N/1 gf via a motor driven spindle, makes the Litematic suitable for measuring high-precision parts.

The Litematic comes with a data output port for connection to a Digimatic Processor or PC. Also the “go, no-go” function, highlighting when dimensions are exceeded (red) or achieved (green), bringing better and faster quality control.
