MILLIMAR
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MILLIMAR from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between plunger and lever type MILLIMAR pencil probes?
Plunger-type probes have a linear contact tip that moves axially along the probe axis, suitable for direct measurement of flat surfaces, depths, and heights. Lever-type probes use a pivoting arm with a contact tip at the end, allowing measurement of hard-to-reach features like grooves, undercuts, or angled surfaces. Both types are available in the MILLIMAR series with inductive sensing and cable lengths of 1.2 m or 2.5 m.
What accuracy levels are available for MILLIMAR inductive probes?
MILLIMAR inductive probes are offered with accuracy specifications of 3 µm, 4 µm, 10 µin (approximately 0.25 µm), and 20 µm, depending on the model. For example, the P2004F and P2004TA models provide 3 µm accuracy, while the P2010M and P2010FB models offer 20 µm accuracy. The lever-type EHE-2056 has 10 µin accuracy. These values are typically stated over the full measurement range.
Are MILLIMAR digital indicators compatible with existing Mahr measurement systems?
Yes, MILLIMAR digital indicators, such as the 2000 W model, are designed as part of the Mahr Millimar series and are compatible with Mahr amplifiers, evaluation units, and data acquisition systems. The indicator features a non-removable flat back for mounting and provides output via cable. It offers inch/metric switching and a measurement range of 0.001 mm to 1 mm with an accuracy of ±0.0007 mm over 1 mm range.
What is the IP rating of MILLIMAR digital comparators, and what does it mean for shop-floor use?
The MILLIMAR digital comparator model 2000 W has an IP64 rating. IP64 means the device is dust-tight (6) and protected against splashing water from any direction (4). This makes it suitable for use in industrial environments where exposure to coolant, oil mist, or light washdowns may occur, though it is not submersible.
Can MILLIMAR pencil probes be used with non-Mahr amplifiers?
MILLIMAR inductive probes are designed for use with Mahr Millimar series amplifiers and evaluation units, which provide the necessary excitation and signal conditioning for the inductive sensor. While some third-party amplifiers may be compatible if they support the same electrical interface and connector type, it is recommended to verify compatibility with the specific probe model and amplifier specifications to ensure accurate measurement.
