Wide Range Computerized Bench Micrometer – Wireless
A computerized bench micrometer is a lab-grade instrument that measures external diameters with high repeatability and digital data output. This wide-range wireless model is designed for inspection labs and production QA areas that need fast, operator-independent measurement across a broad size range.
Key Features
Bench micrometers mount the workpiece against a fixed anvil and spindle, removing the hand-alignment variation found in hand-held micrometers. This model is positioned around wide-range coverage — letting a single station handle multiple part-diameter families without re-fixturing. Exact measuring range, resolution, accuracy class, and wireless protocol for this specific model are needs verification against the Mitutoyo/manufacturer datasheet — BTSA’s technical team can confirm these on request.
Wireless Data Output and SPC Integration
Computerized bench micrometers with wireless output can transmit readings directly to SPC software, reducing manual data-entry errors during inspection runs. Specific software/protocol compatibility for this model: needs verification.
Choosing the Right Bench Micrometer
BTSA offers this instrument alongside two related bench micrometer models built around different priorities: the Sub-Micron Computerized Bench Micrometer – Wireless (optimized for finer resolution) and the Universal Computerized Bench Micrometer – Wireless (optimized for flexible fixturing). This Wide Range model is the right choice when covering a broad span of diameters at one station, without re-fixturing, is the priority.
Applications
Bench micrometers are typically used in inspection labs and dedicated QA stations for verifying shaft, pin, and roller diameters in high-volume precision manufacturing, rather than on the open shop floor. See BTSA’s Mitutoyo Micrometer range for related instruments, and BTSA’s calibration services for NABL-traceable calibration of bench micrometers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a bench micrometer differ from a hand-held micrometer?
A bench micrometer holds the part in a fixed setup against a spindle and anvil, removing operator-to-operator variation in how the part is held. Hand-held micrometers rely on the operator’s grip and feel, which introduces more variability.
What is the measuring range of this bench micrometer?
Needs verification — confirm the exact measuring range from the product datasheet before publishing as a firm spec.
What does “wireless” mean on a computerized bench micrometer?
It means the instrument can transmit measurement readings to a computer, SPC system, or data logger without a physical cable connection, simplifying recording of repeated readings during inspection runs.
Who typically uses a computerized bench micrometer?
Quality control labs, metrology departments, and high-volume production lines that need fast, repeatable diameter checks on shafts, pins, rollers, and similar cylindrical parts use bench micrometers like this one.
How is this Wide Range model different from the Sub-Micron or Universal models?
This Wide Range model is built to cover a broader diameter range in a single setup. The Sub-Micron model prioritizes finer resolution, and the Universal model prioritizes flexible fixturing.
