Mitutoyo 500-196-30 Absolute Digimatic Caliper, Range 0-6"

The Mitutoyo 500-196-30 Absolute Digimatic Caliper is a precision measuring instrument designed for accurate internal, external, depth, and step measurements up to 150 mm (6"). Featuring Mitutoyo's proprietary ABS (Absolute) electromagnetic inductive sensor, this caliper eliminates the need to reset the origin each time the tool is powered on — delivering reliable, drift-free readings in any workshop or quality lab.

Built with carbide-tipped outside jaws for extended wear resistance and equipped with SPC data output, the 500-196-30 is ideal for integration into statistical process control systems across manufacturing, inspection, and engineering environments in the UAE and beyond.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this caliper need to be zeroed every time it's turned on?
A: No. The ABS Absolute scale retains the origin position even when powered off, so the caliper is ready to measure as soon as you turn it on.

Q: Can I connect this caliper to a computer for data logging?
A: Yes. The 500-196-30 has an SPC data output port compatible with Mitutoyo's USB Input Tool IT-016U and other Digimatic data collection devices.

Q: What is the IP67 rating on this caliper?
A: With the SPC output cap in place, the caliper meets IP67 protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion — ideal for shop-floor environments.

Q: Is a storage case included?
A: Yes. The caliper ships in a protective plastic storage case with the SR44 battery pre-installed.
