Mitutoyo 572-600 Horizontal Electronic Linear Scale

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 572-600 is a horizontal electronic linear scale designed for precise linear measurement in machine tool and metrology applications. It delivers an accuracy of 0.001 inches (0.03 mm) with a resolution of 0.01 mm, making it suited for tasks where tight dimensional tolerances must be verified or tracked. The scale includes data output capability, allowing readings to be sent to compatible data collection systems or display units. Installation and calibration are typically performed by machinists, metrology technicians, or precision equipment service professionals.

This scale is oriented horizontally and is appropriate for use on milling machines, lathes, surface grinders, and similar machine tool setups where axis position feedback is required. The data output feature supports integration with digital readout systems or statistical process control software, making it a practical choice for both shop floor production environments and precision inspection stations. It ships as a single unit.

Key Features

• Accuracy of 0.001 inches (0.03 mm) for tight tolerance measurement
• Resolution of 0.01 mm for fine positional feedback
• Data output enabled for connection to DRO units or data logging systems
• Horizontal scale orientation for standard machine tool axis mounting
• Powered by SR44 battery for standalone or semi-portable use

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal mounting on machine tools and precision measurement equipment requiring electronic linear scale feedback with data output capability.

Installation Notes

Electronic linear scales should be installed by qualified machinists or metrology equipment technicians familiar with scale alignment and mounting tolerances. Power down the host machine before mounting or wiring the scale. Ensure the read head and scale strip are aligned parallel within the machine tool manufacturer's specified tolerances to avoid measurement error. Do not bend or kink the scale strip during installation.
