With Exclusive ABSOLUTE Encode Techology, these Mitutoyo Digital Caliper Series 500 are the next generation of electronic calipers.
With this new technology, no more repeated zero setting is necessary. Once turned on, the large LCD displays the actual slider position ready to start measurement. With a large and clear LCD readout, the ZERO/ABS key allows the display to be Zero-Set at any position along the scale for incremental comparison measurements. This switch will also allow return to the Absolute (ABS) coordinate and display of the true position from the origin point (usually jaws-closed point).
