Mitutoyo 572-473 Electronic Linear Scale 0-12 in

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 572-473 is a horizontal electronic linear scale designed for precision measurement in shop and toolroom environments. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 12 inches with an accuracy of 0.002 inches and a resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.01 mm). The scale features an LCD display and provides data output for integration with data collection systems. It is powered by a single SR44 battery, which is included. Licensed metrologists, toolroom machinists, and precision measurement technicians are the primary users of this instrument.

The 572-473 is suited for use with jigs, small machine tools, and general toolroom setups where repeatable linear measurement is required. The horizontal orientation makes it a direct fit for installations on machine tool tables, fixtures, and similar flat-surface applications. The built-in data output port allows readings to be logged or fed into SPC software, making it a practical choice for quality control workflows in both small shop and light production environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with jigs, small machine tools, and toolroom fixtures requiring horizontal linear scale measurement. Refer to MITUTOYO documentation to confirm fit with specific equipment configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a toolroom machinist or precision instrument technician familiar with linear scale mounting. Power down any machine tool before mounting the scale to the carriage or fixture surface. Secure the scale and read head according to the manufacturer's alignment specifications to maintain measurement accuracy. Avoid exposing the scale to cutting fluids or debris that could affect the encoder strip or display housing.
