This chapter explains the product's characteristics, part names and functions, basic operations, and
the settings that must be configured prior to measurement.

1.1

This product is a measuring instrument that makes measurements by vertically moving a part called
a probe into contact with a specific point, and calculating the height of that point. Because the
measurements are obtained from the probe's position, this product can measure the inner diameter of
holes and the outer diameter of cylinders as well.

Press on the upper right of the LCD screen to turn on the power.

1.3.2 Moving the Probe

Turn the probe up/down wheel right and left to move the probe up and down, respectively. When

1.3.3 Moving the Main Unit

When moving the main unit on the surface plate, grab the base with your right hand and the carrier
grip with your left hand.

For QMH-600B/QMH-350B/QMH-24"B/QMH-14"B, pressing the air-float switch on the tip of the carrier
grip causes air to make the main unit float, allowing you to move it smoothly above the surface plate.

NOTE

NOTE

Do not move the product by grabbing parts other than the base or carrier grip. Doing so can negatively
affect measurement accuracy and the product itself.

If using the air-float function:

• Measuring with the air-float function active can cause measurement errors.

• Clean the surface plate in advance.

• Use a surface plate of Class JIS1 or higher. If the surface plate is scratched or uneven, the specified
performance may not be achieved.

• Use a rigid surface plate. If the surface plate warps under the weight of the product, the product
may not float.

NOTE

The airflow has been adjusted to provide optimal performance before shipment. We recommend
using the default settings as much as possible.

When adjusting the air-float flow:

• Due to the characteristics of the air-float mechanism, variations in airflow may cause the main unit
to vibrate. In this case, reduce the airflow.

• If you adjust the airflow, make sure that the friction between the surface plate and the main unit is
reduced before use.

Preparing Measurements

1.4.1 Origin Setup

Set the origin to use when measuring height. The dimensions measured from this origin will become
the height measurements. This product is compatible with both ABS and INC origins. Use one or the
other based on the application.

yABS origin

This method uses a user-defined value as the origin. When measuring the height from the surface
plate, set the surface plate as the origin point with a value of 0 mm.

Example: The surface plate is set as the origin at 0 mm.

Obtain the
measurement relative
to the surface plate

To use a datum other than the surface plate, assign that value as the origin point.

Example: Surface a1 is set as the origin at 50 mm.

1.4.2 Setting the Probe Diameter

The height is calculated using the distance moved by the bottom surface of the sphere attached to the
tip of the probe. (See the left figure below.)

However, when measuring by making contact with the top surface of the sphere, the height will be
measured by adding the diameter of the sphere to the distance moved by the bottom surface of the
sphere. (See the right figure below.)

Top surface measurement

Surface a1 height = Distance moved by the bottom

The diameter of the sphere must be set in advance. The following procedure explains how to measure
the diameter of the sphere using the provided ball diameter calibration block. This procedure is

Specific Usage Applications

Calculating the Difference Between 2 Measurements

There are multiple methods for determining the measurement difference. Use the method that matches
your application.

yDifference with the previous measurement

The difference between the current and immediately prior measurements will automatically be
displayed in the bottom row of the LCD screen. For example, if the previous measurement was 25
mm and the current measurement is 45 mm, [20.000] will be displayed.

The difference with the previous measurement can be checked simply by reading the value
displayed in the bottom row.

Tips

yDifference with a user-defined point

A user-defined point can be set as the comparison point for measurements. For example, set the
surface plate as the origin, and then while continually making measurements, the distance relative
to the surface plate will be displayed each time in the bottom row of the LCD screen.

Tips

yDifference between two measurements stored in memory

The two measurements are stored in the product's internal memory, and the difference between
the two values is calculated. This memory storage method is useful for when you cannot calculate
the measurement difference using the 2 previously described methods, such as obtaining a
measurement difference with a value obtained 2 measurements ago.

circle s1) and a2 (center height of circle s2) shown below with the surface plate set as the origin is
explained.

• Median value of an inner or outer diameter measurement

• Median, minimum, or maximum value of a plane scanning measurement

Maintain contact with the probe.

• Perform the same operation even if a point other than the height of the surface plate is set as the
origin point. (Bring the probe into contact with the point to set as the origin.)

• To set an inner diameter, outer diameter, or plane scanning measurement as the origin point, make
