Coolant-proof Digital Caliper for Extreme Shop Conditions - from Mitutoyo - Brief Article

Automotive Manufacturing & Production, Feb, 2001

Mitutoyo (Aurora, IL) has advanced its line of Environment Resistant Measuring Tolls with the introduction of its Absolute Coolant Proof Calipers. These electronic calipers have an environmental rating of IP-65, which indicates that the gage is immune from jets of coolants and liquids from any direction.

Additionally, the IP-65 rating means that the gage is completely sealed against dust and grit, preventing any foreign particles from entering the housing. The value of the caliper lies in its ability to work in harsh machine shop environments where dirt, oil, grit and heavy coolant spray pose hazards to ordinary electronic gages.
