USB connectivity with Mahr Federal's MarCator digital indicators allows multiple indicators to be linked to PCs through a USB hub with no multiplexer required. Optional Digimatic and RS-232 connections are also available.
MarCator 1086 and 1087 indicators feature large LCD displays with an integral tolerance function that can either display measured values within the tolerance zone, or indicate simple "go/no go" in- or out-of-tolerance conditions without measured values.
Error-free operation of the digital indicators is enhanced with a button lock function that prevents unintentional activation of one or more operating buttons. Other features include ipm selection, an ABS feature, which allows the gages to be zeroed in any position without losing reference to a preset value and an adjustable factor that displays an application symbol in the display face.
A splash-proof model is also available. The indicators are available in a number of sizes and measuring ranges, with resolution as high as 0.001 mm (0.00005"). Accessories are also available, including mounting lugs, pneumatic lifters and cable releases.
