EDU-M255: LH-600F Basic Training

Mitutoyo America’s eLearning Courses are designed to give end-users unique, active learning experiences with tools and gages of all varieties. With these unique educational experiences, end-users can open the door to quality and extend the life of their tools with proper use, care, and replacement procedures. Courses are designed by our employees and certified through strict calibration practices and procedures, to combine accuracy and safety through all courses. These courses cover common practices, proper measurement procedures, and detailed operations for more experienced users. Digital versions of the tool are available for visual reference, but it is recommended to have the tool or gage available during the course.

Introducing the new LH-600! Our new Linear Height measuring system comes with an interface designed specifically for the gage, aiding with basic measurements – as well as advanced macro measurements! This eLearning course will introduce users to the new machine, interface, standard accessories, and measurement operations. Once mastered, tolerancing and other parameters are introduced to your measuring procedures. Finally, users will learn how to properly output data from the gage to maximize measurement operations and efficiency.

The following topics are covered in this course:

1) Startup & Calibration

Upon first powering up the LH-600, users will be asked to detect the scale origin. Walk through the process before choosing the size for your calibration artifact. Finally, select the corresponding probe and begin the probe compensation.

2) Settings

Review the settings users routinely navigate to! Find a detailed walkthrough on how to navigate, change, and update your system settings. From basic device settings such as date, time, etc., to adjusting your LCD settings. This section also highlights your measurement settings, as well as the digits/units tab, which gives users access to various settings such as resolution and unit types.

3) Home Screen Overview

This section highlights all the buttons, operations, and settings you can access through the LCD Touch Panel that comes with your gage. Learn about the capabilities of Simple Mode, and how Advanced Mode can take your measurements to the next level! We also highlight the several types of 2-dimensional measurements that can be performed on the gage through advanced macro keys.

4) Measurement Overview

Now that you’ve learned about the capabilities of the gage – it’s time to apply those measurements! Learn the various steps to each measurement on the demo block that comes with your unit. Users will begin expanding their measurement efficiencies…

5) Digimatic Data Output

As you navigate to become an LH-600 expert, users can also learn how to export data for various needs. Learn how you can control your data output needs through the LCD Controller – whether through automatic or manual output.

6) Changing Measurement Modes

Changing your measurement mode has never been easier! Learn how you can change your measurement reference with ease – switching from ABS origins to Incremental origins you’ve stored within the gage’s memory.
