Mitutoyo 572-573 Vertical Electronic Linear Scale 12 in

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 572-573 is a vertical electronic linear scale designed for precision measurement in machine tool and fixture applications. 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), making it suitable for setups where repeatable, fine linear readings are required. The scale features an LCD display and data output capability, allowing integration with compatible data collection systems. Powered by a single SR44 battery, which is included, the unit is ready to use out of the box. Installation and use are appropriate for skilled machinists, toolmakers, and metrology technicians.

The 572-573 is intended for vertical-orientation mounting on jigs, small machine tools, and similar tooling setups. Its data output function makes it a practical addition to inspection stations or production environments where digital readout or SPC data logging is needed. The scale length is 420 mm, and the display measures 72.70 mm in length by 36.00 mm in width, fitting standard DRO-style mounting arrangements on light machine tools and fixturing systems.

Key Features

• Accuracy of 0.002 inches and resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.01 mm) for fine-tolerance work
• Data output port for connection to digital readout units or SPC data collectors
• LCD display for clear, direct reading in the field or on the shop floor
• Vertical scale orientation suited for jigs and small machine tool installations
• Includes one SR44 battery for immediate use upon installation

Compatibility

Designed for vertical mounting on jigs, small machine tools, and tooling fixtures where electronic linear scale readout is required. Verify mounting clearances and data output interface compatibility with your digital readout system before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metrology technician familiar with linear scale mounting practices. Power down or de-energize any machine tool before mounting the scale or making wiring connections to a digital readout unit. Ensure the scale body and reader head are aligned within the manufacturer-specified tolerances to avoid measurement error. Do not overtighten mounting hardware, as distortion of the scale body can affect accuracy.
