Mitutoyo Corporation (head office: Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki; president: Kazusaku Tezuka) has developed and commercialized the ID-H high-end indicator that fully satisfies the precision and function requirements of next-generation digital indicators. The new product, which will go on sale on December 21, will be exhibited at the 22nd Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF 2004), which begins on November 1, 2004 at Tokyo Big Sight.
A greater ability to compete in global markets is essential in all manufacturing industries (such as automobiles, electricity, and electronics) regardless of the field, and therefore companies are deploying distinct manufacturing styles and continuous technological innovation. Larger improvements in precision are also demanded in the measuring of parts and products, a process that helps maintain the quality of manufacturing. With submicron-order resolution, the ID-H high-performance digimatic indicator fulfills the requirement of those markets for high-precision measurement. It is actually a digital indicator with the world's top level, boasting precision of 1.5μm for 30mm-stroke models and 2.5μm for 60mm-stroke models.
Meanwhile, Mitutoyo has installed a variety of functions that its rivals are unable to match--to fully satisfy the diversifying measurement needs. To raise the efficiency of parts testing, users can make effective use of the peak hold function, which automatically detects the maximum and minimum values, as well as the runout (maximum minus minimum) value, in continuously changing measurements, and the function of determining the tolerance of parts against the preset upper and lower limits. In addition, the highly praised backlit display consists of a 42x43.5mm LCD, which is much larger than conventional products and provides superior visibility compared with its rivals. The optional remote control also enables zero-setting, presetting and other operations without making contact with the measuring instrument itself, making it possible to achieve high-precision measurement with better stability and operability. Furthermore, the high-performance digimatic indicator has pursued ultimate ease of use by carefully reflecting the needs of customers, such as compatibility with the RS-232 communication function that expands external operations and the provision of a function that locks the setup conditions to prevent alteration of a variety of preset tasks due to operational error.
