Caliper INSIZE 1117-501 digital 500 mm / 20" ABS output jaws 100 mm two-sided display

Digital caliper INSIZE 1117-501 is a precision measuring tool with a 500 mm (20") measuring range and 100 mm jaws designed for external, internal and depth measurements. The caliper uses an ABS (absolute) encoder that maintains zero reference after power-off and provides an output for data transfer. A two-sided digital display allows readings from either side of the tool and the unit can show measurements in both metric and imperial units for versatile workshop and quality control use.

Advantages

The ABS encoder ensures absolute position sensing and retains the reference point without needing re-zeroing after switching the instrument on. The built-in data output enables easy connection to data loggers or PCs for recording measurements. The two-sided display improves ergonomics when measuring on fixtures or in confined spaces, and the 100 mm jaws provide sufficient bite for reliable external measurements on a wide range of parts. Metric and imperial readouts simplify work across different drawing and specification systems.

Suitable for

• External measurements of shafts, blocks and machined parts
• Internal measurements of bores and recesses
• Depth measurements for steps, slots and holes
• Workshop inspection and first-article checks in production
• Quality control documentation with electronic data transfer

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 500 mm (20")
• Jaw length (measuring faces): 100 mm
• Measurement modes: metric and imperial units
• Encoder type: ABS (absolute) with data output
• Display: two-sided digital readout for ambidextrous viewing
• Measurement functions: external, internal and depth

How to use

Before use, clean the measuring surfaces and slide the jaws to check smooth movement. Power on the instrument and, if required, select metric or imperial units. For external measurements, place the jaws around the object and close gently until contact is made; read the value on the nearest display. For internal measurements, position the inside faces of the jaws inside the bore and expand until they contact the walls. For depth measurements, use the depth rod at the end of the caliper and ensure the base rests flat on the reference surface. Use the data output to connect to a compatible interface or data logger when electronic recording is needed.

Usage recommendations

Handle the caliper carefully to avoid shocks or drops, keep measuring faces clean and free of debris, and store the instrument in its case when not in use. Regularly check calibration against a standard gauge to ensure measurement accuracy, and use the data output with compatible cables and software recommended by the instrument supplier.
