West Manufacturing News • Mar 23 • Intuitive Height Measuring Device

Mahr Inc. offers the Digimar 817 CLT height measuring device featuring an intuitive touchscreen, ergonomic handling and a wide range of evaluation options. The gauge is available in three measuring ranges, 350 mm, 600 mm and 1,000 mm, with multiple logging and data transfer options for easy measurement data processing.

The touch display features large buttons, clearly structured menus and selfexplanatory icons to enable fast, fluid use and accelerate the measurement cycle. Side function keys and thumbwheel allow the measuring probe to be quickly positioned for fast, simple measurements. Handles on both sides and the integrated air bearing mean that the device can be moved precisely and effortlessly on the measuring plate.

The touchscreen works similarly to smartphones and tablets. Keys are arranged so that frequently used functions are read for easy access. Measurements can be started conveniently via the touch display, the thumbwheel with integrated arrow keys or by manually moving the measuring slide. Two pushbuttons for operating the air bearings are integrated into the handle and enable safe and sensitive guidance of the instrument for left- and right-handed users. The swivel mounted touch display can be rotated or tilted as desired so it is always at eye level with the user, whether sitting or standing.

The Digimar 817 CLT provides a variety of interfaces for saving measurement data. Data transfer is possible wirelessly and by the duplex cable via the MarConnect data management software. It also allows the transmission of a measuring device ID to ensure the traceability of all measurement results. For measurement reports, users can choose between complete representations in PDF format, sending individual measured values to a PC, Bluetooth printer or saving as a TXT file.
