Linear Height
1D/2D Measuring Gage

Ease and Accuracy with a

Unique Pneumatic Floating System
The new Mitutoyo Linear Height, multifunctional single axis height
gage, makes 2D measurement simple and accurate. It is possible to
measure from simple 1D parameters of the surface height, circle
diameter, distance, perpendicularity and straightness to sophisticated
2D measurement.

The LH-600B affords greater convenience and ease of use through the integration of sequential key
operations for frequent measurement. The touch of a single key automatically runs the Linear Height until
the last result display. This eliminates troublesome key operations at each step in the measurement process,
allowing you to concentrate on workpiece inspection.
