Incremental technology was used in all of the measuring systems we manufactured until 1997. We began to phase out this technology in favor or more advanced products in 2001, and final production parts were made in 2007.

How to Cut Incremental Scales

Incremental digital scale:

The aluminum substrate for the Absolute digital scale is available in several different sizes:

• 0.75" wide x 0.25" thick is Model 100 style (maximum 120" length).

• 2.02" wide x 0.75" thick is Model 200 style (maximum 244" length).

• 0.75" wide x 0.75" thick is Model 200-S style (maximum 120" length).

Incremental readhead:

• Notice that the wire exits from the center of one side of the housing. Wire can be flat gray type or round black with shielding.

• Newer models (since 2004) have black and silver labels that show the part number and serial number. A "D" in the part number indicates a "DIGI" compatible product and a gray cable. A "N" in the part number indicates a capacitive incremental compatible  product with a black cable.

• Cable lengths available up to 120 inches.

Incremental digital displays:

Note: Incremental model displays will have the exact labeling pictured here.

This display model operates with Mitutoyo branded, incremental type 10-pin connector readheads ONLY.
