Features
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Low measuring force | Designed for easily deformed workpieces and high-precision parts with extra-low measuring force of 0.01N. |
| Force options | 0.15N and 1N types are available as factory-installed options for Litematic measurement. |
| Motorized spindle | Motor-driven spindle moves up/down and stops when the contact point touches the workpiece; maximum, minimum, and runout values can be measured under constant force. |
| Resolution and range | High resolution of 0.01um and wide measuring range of 50mm. |
| Display formats | VL-50-B integrated display type and VL-50S-B separate display type are available. |
| Measuring table | VL-50-B measuring table is ceramic and corrosion-free for easier maintenance and storage. |
| Spindle material | Low thermal-expansion spindle material. |

Applications beyond production metrology
Common applications beyond routine manufacturing include research data capture, engineering test stands, university lab exercises, prototype measurement logging, environmental or materials-test fixtures, and industrial R&D workflows that need consistent measurement output or sensor integration.
Application notes are general examples for discovery and planning; confirm suitability, tolerances, fixtures, standards, and regulatory requirements for the specific measurement task.
