CALIBRATION
Here the Scale is aligned to read 0.
Always read the Scale from directly
above, reading at an angle can cause a 2
~ 3μm reading error. Instruments should be calibrated regularly to insure accuracy.
Wear and repeated use can affect accuracy. We recommend periodic calibration.

⑥ Check Accuracy The New Shape in Measurement

Threads caused by wear. KAIDAN, meaning steps in Japanese, makes the scale graduations more visible.
Improves accuracy of reading and the reading speed of measurements.
⑦ Check Accuracy Center of scale
