Description: DIGITAL CALIPER 8″ x 0.0005″ ±0.001″
The Mitutoyo CD-8″ASX is a digital caliper with an 8-inch measurement range and 0.0005-inch resolution, designed for precise dimensional measurements in quality control and production environments. This instrument delivers the accuracy and repeatability required for critical applications, with a tolerance of ±0.001 inch across its full span. Total Calibration Solutions provides ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services to ensure your CD-8″ASX maintains its specified accuracy and traceability to NIST standards.
MITUTOYO CD-8″ASX (500-197-30) caliper Calibration Service
Quality control technicians and machining professionals rely on the CD-8″ASX to verify part dimensions, check tolerances, and validate manufacturing processes in real time. Because digital calipers are constantly used in high-volume measurement applications, routine calibration is critical to prevent jaw wear, scale drift, and display errors that can compromise measurement reliability and introduce scrap or rework.
What Gets Calibrated on the MITUTOYO CD-8″ASX (500-197-30)
Our calibration procedure verifies jaw parallelism to ensure both measurement surfaces contact parts uniformly, confirms linearity across the full 8-inch range to validate consistent accuracy at every point, and validates zero-point accuracy so baseline measurements remain traceable. We also perform step measurement checks using certified gauge blocks, evaluate depth measurement accuracy when the depth rod is deployed, and inspect for backlash in the thumb-wheel mechanism that could introduce repeatability errors. All testing is documented according to ISO/IEC 17025 requirements with full measurement uncertainty reporting.
Why Calibration Matters for the MITUTOYO CD-8″ASX (500-197-30)
Digital calipers experience jaw wear from repeated contact with parts, scale drift from temperature fluctuations and electronic component aging, and backlash in the thumb-wheel adjustment mechanism that gradually introduces measurement errors. These failure modes can cause the CD-8″ASX to drift beyond its ±0.001-inch tolerance, leading to out-of-specification parts being passed or good parts being rejected. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and precision manufacturing operate under quality standards including ISO 9001, AS9100, and IATF 16949, all of which mandate calibration intervals and documented traceability. Scheduled calibration prevents these issues and maintains the measurement integrity required by your quality management system.
Common Use Environments
The CD-8″ASX is widely used in automotive manufacturing, aerospace component shops, precision machining facilities, and quality assurance laboratories where dimensional verification is performed multiple times per shift. ISO 9001 and AS9100 certified organizations rely on documented calibration records to demonstrate that measurements used in critical decisions are traceable and reliable. Because these standards require periodic verification of measurement equipment, routine calibration of your digital calipers is not optional but a documented requirement for compliance.
Why Choose TOTAL Calibration Solutions?
- We hold ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for dimensional calibration, providing the traceability and measurement uncertainty reporting your quality system requires.
- Most calipers, including your Mitutoyo CD-8″ASX, are returned within five business days with full calibration documentation and NIST-traceable certificates.
- Our dimensional calibration lab handles everything from basic digital calipers to high-end vernier and dial styles, so we understand the specific wear patterns and failure modes of every caliper type.
- We verify all the critical parameters for digital calipers—jaw parallelism, linearity, zero-point accuracy, and thumb-wheel backlash—not just a single point check.
