Mitutoyo 500-768-20CAL Electronic Caliper 0-6 in IP67

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 500-768-20CAL is a coolant-proof electronic caliper from the 500 ABSOLUTE Coolant-Proof series, designed for precision dimensional measurement in demanding shop environments. It delivers a measuring range of 0 to 6 inches with a resolution of 0.0005 inches and an accuracy of 0.0010 inches. The body and jaws are constructed from hardened stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. An IP67 rating means the caliper withstands immersion in coolant and wash-down conditions. Each unit ships NIST-traceable calibration documentation, making it ready for use in quality-controlled environments. Licensed metrologists, machinists, and QC technicians are the primary users.

This caliper is suited for inside diameter, outside diameter, depth, and step measurements in both production and inspection settings. The knife-edge jaw style supports measurement of grooves, shoulders, and other features where standard flat jaws would be limited. Jaw length is 1.57 inches (40.00 mm), providing adequate reach for typical workpiece geometries. It includes a depth measurement rod for step and depth applications. The thumb-wheel jaw adjustment supports fine, controlled positioning. Use cases include machine shop floor inspection, tool and die work, and any environment where coolant or fluid exposure is routine.

Key Features

• IP67-rated housing withstands coolant immersion and fluid wash-down
• NIST-traceable calibration certificate included with each unit
• Resolution of 0.0005 inches for high-precision measurement
• Hardened stainless steel body and knife-edge jaws resist wear and corrosion
• Measures outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step in one tool
• TUV Rheinland certified; powered by a single SR44 silver oxide battery (included)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct addition within the MITUTOYO 500 ABSOLUTE Coolant-Proof series for applications requiring electronic digital calipers with coolant-proof protection up to 6 inches of travel.

Installation Notes

Electronic calipers require no installation in the traditional sense but should be zeroed and verified against a known reference standard before use. A licensed metrologist or trained QC technician should verify calibration upon receipt and at regular intervals per the facility quality plan. Keep the battery compartment sealed and confirm the IP67 gasket is undamaged before use in coolant-heavy environments. Replace the SR44 battery following the manufacturer procedure to maintain the sealed enclosure integrity.
