The most prevailing group of universal tools include digital calipers ШЦЦ-1.
Compared to other types of universal tool, digital calipers have the greatest functionality due to structural elements that determine its wide applicability:
- measuring faces for external dimensions;
- measuring faces for internal dimensions;
- measuring faces for depth measurement of grooves, holes, height of ledges
- the end of the rod for measuring the height of the ledges.
The caliper is equipped with a digital display unit for displaying the measured values.
Digital calipers are an excellent alternative to mechanical tools in tool and machine-building production.
As in analog models, digital calipers use a direct measurement method.
The advantage of the digital caliper is that the measured values are immediately displayed on the screen. In the manufacturing sector, this is an indispensable property, since:
- simplified reading of the measurement results,
- errors in reading information on the nonius and the dial scale of analog calipers are excluded,
- operator fatigue is reduced,
- increased productivity
- reduced requirements for additional training.
Along with traditional models with digital of 0.01 mm, modern calipers are available with a digital of 0.001 and 0.005 mm, which allow precise measurements.
Depending on the application conditions, digital calipers have different degrees of protection against dust and moisture (IP40, IP54, IP65, IP67).
Measuring faces made of hard alloy significantly increase the life of the caliper.
Digital calipers of Ukrainian and foreign production (SYLVAC, DIN) are issued with characteristics that corresponding technical specifications, standards of the manufacturer and other technical standards.
If necessary, digital calipers can be repaired, restored by qualified specialists of enterprises, calibration according to DSTU ISO / IEC 170205 and the issuance of a calibration certificate in an accredited laboratory.
