Mitutoyo's most popular digimatic calipers are coolant proof (water proof) to a rating of IP66 or IP67. IP67 offers a higher rate of protection against liquid sprays. You won't be able to use these at the bottom of Long Island Sound, but the fine mists from coolants or the occasional rain drop won't interfere with its performance. These have SPC output meaning that you can connect it, with an optional cable, to your computer or other data collecting device. Just like any other digital caliper, the read out is .0005" switchable to 0.01 mm with an accuracy of ± .001" for the 6" and 8" models. Notice that, just because it reads to .0005" doesn't mean that it has an accuracy of .0005". Mitutoyo has mastered the art of digital tools with output, so these can be highly recommended. Simple replacement parts, such as battery covers can be ordered from this web site. See page 72. Repairs for digital tools are always an iffy proposition. If you take good care of these, you won't have to worry about it. If they stop functioning—and they eventually will—you may have no other option but to pay for a hefty repair bill or to replace it. If you're lucky and only need to have the jaws realigned or lapped, that will be possible by sending them to our repair department (see link at top of page). Certificate of inspection and storage case are included along with detailed instructions in many languages.
