Digital Calipers
A device used to measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object.49
Edge Finders
A tool used in the spindle of a machine such as a mill.The device is used to accurately determine edges or markings.16
Gage Blocks
A precision ground and lapped length block used as a measuring standard.48
Granite Surface Plates
A surface plate is a solid, flat plate used as the main horizontal reference plane for precision inspection, marking out layout, and tooling setup.47
Height Gages
A measuring device used either for determining the height of something, or for repetitious marking of items to be worked on.117
Indicators
An indicator is any of various instruments used to accurately measure small distances, and amplify them to make them more obvious.73
Linear Encoders
A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position.152
