Mitutoyo ABSOLUTE Digimatic Caliper

The product in the image is a Mitutoyo ABSOLUTE Digimatic Caliper, a world-renowned precision measuring instrument used in manufacturing and engineering.

Mitutoyo was founded in 1934 in Japan by Yehan Numata with the goal of producing first-class micrometers. Over the decades, the brand has become a global leader in metrology, introducing the first electronic digital calipers in the early 1980s. The 'ABSOLUTE' technology shown on the device refers to their proprietary induction-type encoder system that retains the origin position even when the tool is switched off.

While Mitutoyo maintains its headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities in Japan (notably in Kawasaki and Hiroshima), it has expanded into a global entity with manufacturing plants in Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and the Netherlands to serve international markets.
