 Mitutoyo Canada has introduced the new QuantuMike line of micrometers.
Using the QuantuMike, measurement time, repeatability and accuracy as
well as ergonomics are all improved over conventional micrometers. The
QuantuMike provides accuracy at plus or minus 1μm/.00005 in. throughout
its measuring range and is also dust and water resistant-rated IP65. A
coarser thread feeds the spindle at 2mm per thimble-revolution instead
of the standard 0.5mm. The increase in thread lead is made possible by
new, high-precision thread-cutting and testing techniques. According to
Mitutoyo, trials on typical workpieces show that compared to
conventional micrometers, QuantuMike’s spindle positioning time is
reduced by about 60% while overall measurement time is decreased by as
much as 35%.
