Made in Switzerland by Tesa, the leader in Swiss-made precision measuring instruments. IP67 dust and liquid resistant coolant proof calipers with or without SPC (RS-232) output. This means they're totally protected from dust penetration and they still function correctly after having been subjected to low pressure water jets from all directions for three minutes. 
- All digital models feature thumb wheel for easy sliding control
- IP67 protected from dust and liquids (waterproof).
- Resolution is .0005" (0,01 mm) but accuracy is the same as all mechanical calipers, i.e., less than or equal to .001" for the first 4 inches, .0015" from 4 to 8 inches, .002" from 8 to 12 inches.
- Large digital display for easy viewing.
- Switches easily between inch and metric.
- Calipers revert to idle mode after 10 minutes and full automatic shut-off after 2 hours.
- Battery (type CR 2032) life 1-1/2 years.
- The jaws are of high quality hardened steel giving them a long useful life.
- Instrument comes with an ID number, suitable for ISO requirements.
- Case and inspection report included: 6" models in plastic case, the 8" model comes in a wooden box.

"Waterproof" Tesa-Cal with RS-232 output |
8-inch Tesa Cal IP67 with output model 05.30212 These new IP67 models with RS-232 output replace the 05.30211, 05.30212 and 05.30213 which are no longer being manufactured. The ranges are given in inches, but since these easily switch to metric, you can also take the equivalent metric readings (150 mm, 200 mm and 300 mm ranges with 0.01 mm discrimination). |

Tesa IP67 instruction manual |
An instruction manual is included with all Tesa IP67 instruments. If you lost yours, need another one, or simply would like to look at one before investing in these gages, you can order a PDF version which will be sent to your e-mail address. |
Something simpler and cheaper? |
The Shop-Cal is the most basic Swiss-made digital caliper you can get with a thumb roller. It offers simple switching between inch and metric. Nothing fancy, nothing confusing, not waterproof. Just slide and read. See page 185. B&S Shop-Cal replaces the discontinued Tesa Digit-Cal 00530085.

Digital caliper repairs |
What are your chances of getting any of these repaired if something goes wrong? Pretty slim. If the failure is mechanical (bent jaws, worn surfaces) then we can fix them for you. But if the digital display stops working, you'll have to chuck 'em. They do come with a 1-year warranty, so you'll be assured of a minimum one year useful life, as long as you don't try to use them as a wrench or can opener.

Depth Measurement Attachment |
In order to use the calipers for measuring depth of grooves and bores, use this attachment (shown with calipers, above). It slides onto the end of the caliper beam and is fastened in place with a lock screw. It has a 3" span. The calipers can now be used as a depth gage. See page 173 for details.
