View MoreThe L.S. Starrett Company, a leading manufacturer of precision measuring tools and gages, metrology systems and more, introduces a new line of electronic digital indicators, an enhanced version of its 2900 series. The new indicators include the 2900 electronic and W2900 electronic wireless models, featuring true absolute sensor technology that is said to minimize the chance of data loss, glass scales, high accuracy to ±0.00005" and IP67 protection from hostile shop environments including coolant, chips and dirt. The indicators are also now available in fully wireless models, a newly designed 4" (100 mm) range model, and all indicators feature rechargeable batteries.
Starrett 2900 and W2900 indicators offer users a choice of features from basic to advanced or selectable resolution, and all models feature data output for statistical process control (SPC).
According to the company, the indicators have an intuitive design and layout that is easy to learn and use, in addition to positive, tactile-feel button activation and a large LCD display. Selectable resolution models, fixed ratio measurement systems, one micron resolution and metric-only versions are also available. Models feature long battery life, but are also rechargeable, have origin set and zero set and count direction switching (±). They feature true absolute sensor technology in the 2900-1 and 2900-6 models and are compatible with 25 series indicator backs.
Starrett 2900 Series indicators are equipped with RS232 output and compatible with 2900 SCM, SCU and SCKB cables, while Starrett W2900 Series Indicators, which have all the same features and capabilities of the 2900 series, are fully wireless and equipped to send data for SPC analysis at the push of a button with no cables required. Both the 2900 and W2900 series are available in 0.5, 1", 2" ranges and new 4" range models, inch-metric models in 0.5", 1", 2" (12 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm) and metric-only models in 12 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm ranges.
