Digital Linear Gages

Shown right, Boeckeler digital linear gages are available in a variety of lengths and resolutions. Designed for longer life and durability, the digital linear gage offers an accurate alternative to dial indicators. Also pictured is a one axis Microcode II digital readout.   A Boeckeler® digital linear gage can be used as a direct replacement for most mechanical and digital dial indicators for many applications, including the following:   Production inspection. Z-axis measurement on microscope stands. Out-of-roundness measurements. Precision height gage or bench comparator. Fixtured tooling or machining applications.

Boeckeler's digital dial indicators offer many advantages over conventional dial indicators, such as:

• Greater resolution than conventional indicators.
• Accuracy to +/- 0.003 mm (+/- 0.000 120 in) per 25 mm travel.
• Resolution to 0.000 5 mm (.000 02 in).
• Measurement range to 310 mm (12 in). For special requirements, contact us.
• Proven, trouble-free operation.
• For 0.000 5 mm resolution DLGs, the Boeckeler Microcode IITM digital readout in metric mode will display up to 100 mm only.
• Electronics which are well insulated from shock, dirt, dust, chips, etc.
• Compatible with TTL quadrature digital readouts.
• Accessories available include shock tip, roller tip, extensions, and extension tips to serve a variety of applications.

The Microcode II digital readout provides many useful features when used with digital linear gages. The relative or absolute zero switch allows a temporary zero without losing an absolute zero reference. Inch or metric readings are selectable at any time. The direction of the count (plus/minus) sign can be reversed, and an optional RS-232 data port is available to provide data output to a printer or computer. Other options include: Min/Max/Diff for measuring "out-of-roundness," Offset for adding dimensions of gage rods and blocks, Averaging RS-232 output, and a Dual Voltage power supply. The Microcode II digital readout is a state-of-the-art microprocessor and can be tailored to your application.
