What does a digital height gauge do?


A height gauge does exactly what you’d expect it to— it measures the height of a workpiece. It’s a simple measuring instrument in which a slider with a measuring stylus attached moves relative to a measuring scale on a beam, with the motion along a single vertical axis nominally perpendicular to a reference plane on the instrument base. A scriber, test indicator, touch probe or CMM-style probe is used to locate the measured feature and to provide pinpoint accuracy. A height gauge is a vital tool in quality control.

At Tesa Metrology Ltd we supply high quality digital height gauges to help decrease the time needed to lay out a part. Not only is the dial easier to read than a manual scale, but the dual-digit counters allow you to set one counter as the reference datum with the other to be used as a floating zero.

We stock a whole range of products from the Tesa Micro Hite 350 to the Tesa Micro Height 900 so you can be sure to purchase the right manual digital height gauge for your needs.
