Hans-Schmidt Digital Dial Thickness Gauges

F.A.Q.

Can digital dial thickness gauges export data to a computer or SPC software?

 Yes. Most electronic indicators in this subcategory—including the Hans-Schmidt JD-50, Hans-Schmidt JD-100, Checkline JD-200-25, Checkline FD-50R, Checkline RMU, Checkline MTT-10, and Checkline DDM-2000—feature an integrated data output port. Using optional USB or RS-232 interface cables, operators can transmit readings directly to Microsoft Excel or statistical process control (SPC) databases without manual transcription errors.

How do I measure relative thickness variation or coating build-up with a digital gauge?

 Digital thickness gauges feature a push-button ZERO function that resets the LCD display to 0.00 at any spindle position. You can insert a reference master part or an uncoated substrate, press ZERO, and then measure subsequent production samples to read positive (+) or negative (-) thickness deviations directly on the screen.

What is the difference between the JD Series and the DMD / MDM Series digital gauges?
  • JD Series (JD-50, JD-100, JD-200-25, JD-400): Equipped with Swiss Sylvac capacitive digital indicators, a built-in swing-out support foot (on 50–200 mm frames) for tabletop stability, and the 5-feeler selection system (Feelers A through E).
  • DMD & MDM Series (DMD-3, DMD-830-1, MDM-835, DMD-850): Utilizes the 10-feeler selection system (Feelers A through M) and offers extended measuring ranges up to 75 mm (3") on the MDM-835 and deep-throat reaches up to 500 mm (19.7") on the DMD-850.

Can I switch between millimeters (mm) and inches (in) during inspection?

 Yes. Every digital thickness gauge in this subcategory includes a dedicated mm/inch conversion button, allowing instant unit toggling across the full measuring range without losing the zero reference or requiring recalibration.
