THE ULTIMATE IN SPEED & ACCURACY
Two-dimensional measurement with a single-axis height gage is made simple with
MICRO-HITE 1D/2D height gage technology from Brown & Sharpe. The second dimension,
along with rapid measuring speed, a stand-alone design, and a user-friendly interface have
made the MICRO-HITE the market leader in its class and opened up a world of inspection
capabilities for you.
TWO-DIMENSIONAL
MEASUREMENT
Until now, you needed a coordinate
measuring machine to efficiently
handle two-dimensional measurement
requirements, but that requires a substantial
capital investment and a commitment
to extended operator training. With the
MICRO-HITE 1D/2D electronic height gage,
you can easily measure in two dimensions
in either rectangular or polar coordinates.
Just measure the feature or features,
rotate the part through a known angle,
and measure the same features again
on a new axis. The MICRO-HITE gage’s
new electronic software is programmed to
calculate the two-dimensional measurement.
It’s that simple.

IG 13 PROBE
Perpendicularity, straightness and angle
of incline are calculated directly when using
the IG 13 digital probe.
D YNAMIC PROBES WITH
OPERATOR SIGNALS
The new probing system when used in the
automatic mode will capture the high and
low culminating points of cylinders for I.D.
and O.D. calculations. Acoustic
as well as a visual signal will confirm the
measured values have been registered.
DIODE CHAIN DISPLAY
An independent electronic measuring
system divides a colorful diode chain into 12
parts to facilitate the manual locating
of the probe at the culminating point of
curved surfaces.
LINE PRINTER
Compact line printer, an integral part
of the 1D/2D control panels, is always
available for hard copy printouts. The Tesa
SPC Printer is available as an option for
the 1D control panel when a hard copy
printout is required.

EASY-TO-USE
MEASURING POWER
The MICRO-HITE height gage’s dedicated
dimensional function programs make
measuring quick, easy and accurate.
Even complex measurements are easy
to execute with the MICRO-HITE system’s
computer power. The MICRO-HITE 1D/2D
electronic height gage measures external,
internal and distance dimensions as well
as perpendicularity, flatness, straightness,
centers and diameters. In addition, the
MICRO-HITE system calculates deviations
and feature relationships, automatically. With
its two-dimensional measuring capability, the
MICRO-HITE gage can determine
concentricity or express the relationship
between holes, patterns, or features on a
part in polar or rectangular coordinates.
Additional measurement capabilities include
determining the minimum/maximum of bolt
circles. For all of its measuring power, the
MICRO-HITE 1D/2D gage is simple to use.
Its new keypad and interactive LC display
are specifically designed to guide operators
smoothly and efficiently through
measurement operations.
EFFICIENT STAND-ALONE
DESIGN
The MICRO-HITE 1D/2D height gage
moves on a cushion of air generated by a
completely self-contained pneumatic system.
Two battery packs are provided so that one
can be recharged while the other is in use,
providing continuous operation without
cumbersome power cords and air supply
lines to clutter up your surface plate. In both
design and operation, the MICRO-HITE
gage is efficient and accurate for simple or
complex measurement requirements in one
or two dimensions. Three control panel options
1D, 1D/2D, or programmable 1D/2D mean
there is a MICRO-HITE designed specifically
to meet your application requirements.
C ONTROL PANEL “1D”
A simple to use keyboard runs a complete
“1D” measurement program. Easy to follow
measurement icons and bold print measurement
readings on the display guide the user
and enhance the ease of operation.
C ONTROL PANEL “1D/2D”
In addition to incorporating all the
capabilities of the “1D” control panel, the
“1D/2D” control panel allows the generation
of cartesian coordinates or polar coordinates
to provide simple solutions to complex
measuring problems.
“1D/2D” PROGRAMMABLE
The Power Panel incorporates all the
measuring capabilities of the “1D” and
“1D/2D” control panels plus has the ability
to learn measuring programs and store them
on memory cards. The large display provides
more information in a friendly easily understood
format. Minimal learning time for
complex part inspection and programming.
Red, Orange and Green signal lights indicate
measured feature relative to preprogrammed
tolerances. Ideal for first part, production
and receiving inspection.

RAISING THE STANDARDS FOR
ELECTRONIC HEIGHT GAGE
MEASUREMENT.
The new Tesa-Hite’s on-board microprocessor can correct for the probe size, calculate the size
of slots and projections, and determine the centerlines of features. The TESA-HITE offers three
different measuring modes to suit the task – from simple scribing to sophisticated inspection.
These measuring functions are:
• Measurement in one direction without concern for size of the probe
• Bi-direction measurement with correction to account for the size of the probe. This is
function used for rapid measurement of external and internal dimensions and centerlines.
• Continuous display with reduced resolution for scribing tasks.
The measuring functions are controlled by a keyboard with only eight keys. Four keys are
single function keys and are clearly designated as “ON/OFF”, “INCH/MM”, “CANCEL” and
“PRINT”. The other four are function keys that correspond to graphic icons in the LC Display.
Some of the important features and benefits of the new TESA-HITE include:
• Resolution of .0002" (0.005 mm) in the normal measuring mode
• Resolution of .0005" (0.01 mm) in the scribing mode. An accessory scriber is
available for the probe holder
• Large LC Display with .5" (12 mm) tall digits is easy to read
• Rapid traverse crank with fine feed knob for positioning the measuring head
• Rugged probe holder and built-in touch-trigger function
• Manual or automatic transfer of the measurements via an opto-coupled RS-232
port directly to a PC or printer
• Runs for up to 2000 hours using readily available “AA” alkaline batteries.
Auto-off function extends battery life
• Internal diameters can be quickly determined with the use of the optional
“QUICK-CENTER” accessory probe system
• Outside diameters are efficiently measured with the aid of the accessory
cylindrical probe
• Solidly constructed from cast iron and corrosion protected steels
• A wide variety of standard probes available for many measuring problems.

.280" (7mm) through
3.200" (80mm)
and center lines
to be calculated
simultaneously
without the need
to tram for the high
and low point of
the diameter.
AUTOMATICALLY LOCATES THE
CENTER POINT, QUICKLY AND EASILY.
The unique design of QUICK-CENTER utilizes precision anti-friction bearings that allow the
probe to float to the lowest point in a bore when a measuring force is applied. The automated
centering of the probe eliminates the use of the analog meter to find the low point for center
location. It also eliminates the need to compensate for the air bearing lift on systems that use
an electronic latch when tramming.
FEATURES:
• QUICK-CENTER body to automatically establish low point of bore. Part # 07.90018
• Probe with 10mm bearing diameter.
Application range .700" - 3.15"/18 - 80 mm. Part # 07.60134
or
Probe with 5mm bearing diameter.
Application range .272 - 1.00/7 - 25 mm. Part # 07.60135
Measurement uncertainty: As compared to probe contacts made using a rigid probe -
for example, the 5mm diameter tungsten carbide ball tip (No. 07.60062) from the
standard equipment - measurements performed with TESA QUICK-CENTER have
a larger dispersion range.
Repeatability of the measured values is the following:
± 2s ≤ 5µm/.0002 inch when using QUICK-CENTER.
This compares to a repeatability of ± 2s ≤ 5µm/.0001 inch when using the rigid probe.
