INTRODUCTION 

 

3.1.   PRODUCT PRESENTATION 

 
The M2 digital readout allows dimensional control using 1 or 2 probes. 
It is possible to make simple measurement (with one probe), or combined 
measurement (with 2 probes) : sums or differences  
Measurements are made in comparison with a reference part: the master. 
The M2 can be connected to a PC thanks to its RS232 connection. 
A footswitch can be connected in order to transfer measurements. 
 

3.2.  PROBES 

 
The following probes can be connected : 
 

Heidenhain Specto TTL
