High precision layout with Mitutoyo QM-Height

Practical benefits

Effortless pneumatic base movement: The built-in air cushion mechanism lets you glide smoothly across surface plates without friction or surface wear.
Instant ABSOLUTE origin tracking: The electromagnetic linear encoder retains your reference zero, so you can start measuring immediately without re-zeroing.
One touch feature routines: Intuitive icon buttons allow you to quickly measure inside and outside diameters, step differences, and hole pitches.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Mitutoyo 518-244 height gauge, you perform high-precision 1D measurements on your surface plate with ease. Thanks to the integrated pneumatic air-floating base, you glide smoothly across the surface without friction or wear. The electromagnetic absolute linear encoder always maintains your reference zero, letting you start measuring immediately upon power-up. Featuring a measuring range of 0 to 350 mm and a selectable resolution down to 0.001 mm, it effortlessly captures heights, steps, inside and outside diameters, and hole pitch. Intuitive icon keys simplify complex routines with a single press, while standard usb and Digimatic ports ensure fast data transfer to your PC.
