Frequently Asked Questions

Have Question? We are here to help

How do I choose between digital and mechanical micrometers?

Digital micrometers offer faster readings, data output capabilities, and switchable units (inch/mm). They're ideal for high-volume measurements and SPC integration. Mechanical micrometers are preferred when simplicity, durability, and independence from batteries are priorities. Consider your measurement frequency, data collection needs, and working environment when making your choice.

Can I connect my small tools to data collection systems?

Yes! Mitutoyo offers multiple connectivity options including U-WAVE wireless systems, USB Direct cables, and Integration with MeasurLink SPC software. Our digital tools with SPC output can transmit measurements directly to computers, eliminating manual data entry errors and improving productivity.

How often should I calibrate gage blocks?

Calibration frequency depends on usage, environmental conditions, and quality requirements. As a general guideline, master gage blocks should be calibrated annually, while working blocks may need calibration every 1-3 years. Critical applications or harsh environments may require more frequent calibration. Mitutoyo offers ISO 17025 accredited calibration services.

What is the difference between a dial indicator and a test indicator?

Dial indicators have a plunger that moves perpendicular to the dial face and are used for comparative measurements and checking runout. Test indicators have a lever arm that sweeps in an arc and are ideal for alignment work and measuring in tight spaces. Both are essential for different precision measurement applications.

Are Mitutoyo small tools covered by warranty?

Yes, Mitutoyo small tools come with a comprehensive warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Digital tools typically include a 1-year warranty, while mechanical tools may have extended coverage. Contact your distributor or Mitutoyo directly for specific warranty details and registration.
