OverviewThe Z-Mike Pro is a non-contact laser micrometer designed for industrial part inspection and process control. It delivers absolute dimensional measurement for delicate, soft, brittle, hot or irradiated components, enabling manufacturers and machine shops to meet tight tolerances in laboratory and factory environments. Key measurement functions include diameter, ovality, effective cutting diameter, taper and TIR. The non-contact laser method eliminates part distortion and operator-influenced error, ensuring consistent results traceable to national standards (NIST).
Features & Benefits- Patented optical design and electronics for high accuracy and exceptional repeatability (up to ±0.13 µm).
- Auto-calibration maintains precision across the measurement range and compensates for temperature variation on the shop floor.
- Measurement robustness independent of surface type (gloss, matte, color) and external stray light.
- Measurements traceable to national standards (NIST) for quality assurance.
- Non-contact technique removes operator-induced measurement errors and avoids part deformation.
- No strict centering required — minimal adjustment for a wide range of part sizes.
- Rugged cast housing sealed against dust and moisture for industrial environments.
- Large, high-resolution touch-screen for rapid setup and clear result display.
- Multiple product profiles can be stored and recalled for fast changeover.
- Integrated I/O enables seamless integration with automated part handling and motion control.
