“U-WAVE”, the wireless communication system, collects measurement data in the
inspection process swiftly and accurately, to increase a company's
competitiveness with detailed data analysis. With MeasurLink,
“IIOT* of Quality Control envisioned by Mitutoyo”
can be achieved.

Wireless Measurement Data
Communication System
U-WAVE
This system transmits data wirelessly from Mitutoyo
Digimatic gages to SPC software or any software that
accepts keyboard input, such as MeasurLink, Excel, or
web browser.
It saves time, eliminates typos, helps achieve cost
reductions and better efficiency while maintaining
excellent operability.
Compared to U-Wave T*, the compact and thin
design provides better operability and fit to

U-WAVE immediately transmits the measurement
data to your PC. Errors due to manual input can
be eliminated, and therefore data reliability and
operational efficiency is improved.
Cost
Reduction
Effect
Modular design allows easy connection
to existing Digimatic gages!
Digimatic output comes standard on all
specialty Mitutoyo gages such as spline
and V-anvil micrometers, blade
calipers, and carbon fiber
calipers.
Solution
Issue
Wireless data transmission is
unreliable in a noisy, industrial
environment.
Issue
Since multiple operators use
Digimatic gages, it takes a long
time for data collection and Pass/fail
judgment.
Solution
U-Wave boasts industry leading signal transmission and
has been tested in poor conditions, proven to maintain
strong signal connection.
Solution
Up to 100 Digimatic gages can be registered to a
single U-WAVE receiver on the PC side. The data
can automatically be entered separately in the
Excel sheet. Therefore, data collection and Pass/
fail judgment are easily performed.
Receives measurement data and transmits to the PC via USB.
Since USB bus power system is used, a battery or adapter is
not required.
The ID and frequency can be set using supplied software
U-WAVEPAK.
The data load function to Excel, etc. is supplied as a
standard accessory.

With functions and performance inherited from
U-WAVE-T, a compact and thinner design provides
a neater solution which eliminated cables around
