The Mitutoyo 500-196-32 is a new 6-inch/150mm Absolute AOS (Advanced Onsite Sensor) Digimatic electronic caliper, model CD-6"ASXU, manufactured in Japan to Mitutoyo's published specifications. The caliper delivers a resolution of 0.01mm/0.0005in and a stated accuracy of ±0.02mm/±0.001in across its full range, with four measurement modes: outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step. The Absolute encoder system eliminates the need to re-zero after power-off or battery replacement — the origin is permanently retained via capacitive linear encoder technology, and the unit powers on ready to measure at any position. The stainless steel construction with black anodized slider and beam features an LCD display with in/mm conversion, ZERO/ABS button, ON/OFF button, and ORIGIN reset button; a thumb roller provides smooth, controlled jaw travel. Powered by a single SR44 (1.55V) silver oxide button cell battery, the unit ships in a fitted hard plastic case and is suited for machine shop, quality control, and inspection applications requiring reliable, repeatable measurements.
