DITRON 608 Series IP67 Absolute Digital Calipers | Zinc Housing 150mm, 200mm & 300mm Malaysia
DITRON 608 Series IP67 Absolute Digital Calipers
The DITRON 608 series combines catalogue-stated IP67 protection, absolute inductive measurement and a zinc alloy display housing. Available in 150mm, 200mm and 300mm measuring ranges, it supports outside, inside, step and depth measurement.
For workshops and inspection departments in Malaysia, the key selection points are environmental protection, reference handling, measuring capacity and required accuracy.

IP67 PROTECTION
The manufacturer identifies the DITRON 608 series as IP67 and describes protection against water, oil, coolant and dust.
For machining environments, confirm compatibility with the specific coolant, oil or cleaning chemical used in your facility. Follow the manufacturer’s permitted exposure, cleaning and maintenance instructions.
Environmental protection does not prevent measurement errors caused by chips or residue trapped between the measuring faces and the workpiece. Clean the contact surfaces before measuring.
ABSOLUTE INDUCTIVE MEASUREMENT
The catalogue describes an absolute measuring system in which each position along the scale has a unique code.
According to the manufacturer, the system identifies the current slider position after switching on, including when the slider has moved while the instrument was switched off. This reduces the need to re-establish the measuring reference during routine use.
Check zero and instrument condition before measurement. Absolute position measurement does not replace periodic performance checks or calibration.
The ABS marking on this page refers to absolute measurement. The display housing is separately specified as zinc alloy.
ZINC ALLOY HOUSING AND STAINLESS STEEL RULER
The 608 series features a zinc alloy display housing and a 4Cr13 stainless steel ruler.
When comparing models, distinguish housing construction from measuring performance. A metal display housing does not by itself establish higher accuracy, impact resistance or a longer service life.
DITRON 608 VS DITRON 607
The supplied catalogue pages list both series with:
• IP67 protection.
• Absolute measurement.
• Inductive sensing.
• 150mm, 200mm and 300mm measuring ranges.
• The same accuracy at corresponding measuring ranges.
The main stated construction difference is the display housing:
• DITRON 607: plastic housing.
• DITRON 608: zinc alloy housing.
Choose according to housing preference, application requirements and the confirmed quotation. The catalogue does not establish higher accuracy for the 608 series.
CHOOSING THE MEASURING RANGE
For smaller components and general dimensional checks within a 150mm capacity.
For components requiring more opening capacity than a 150mm model.
For larger components requiring up to 300mm capacity. Check jaw reach and access around the workpiece.
Select according to the largest dimension being measured and the required tolerance. A longer range does not mean higher accuracy.
FOUR MEASUREMENT FUNCTIONS
Outside Measurement
Use the external jaws to check accessible dimensions such as width, thickness and outside diameter.
Inside Measurement
Use the internal jaws to check accessible internal dimensions. Keep the jaws correctly aligned with the feature.
Step Measurement
Use the step measuring faces to check suitable stepped features.
Depth Measurement
Use the depth rod to measure accessible holes or recesses. Keep the reference face seated correctly against the workpiece.
APPLICATIONS IN MALAYSIA
The DITRON 608 series can be considered for:
• Machining workshop dimensional checks.
• Metal fabrication inspection.
• Incoming component inspection.
• Maintenance and spare-part measurements.
• Production and assembly checks.
• Work areas where dust or liquid exposure is a selection concern.
For factories and workshops in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Penang, assess the measuring range, tolerance and actual operating conditions before selecting.
For tight-tolerance components, a micrometer or another measuring instrument may be more appropriate.
RESOLUTION AND ACCURACY
The 0.01mm metric resolution describes the displayed increment. It does not establish ±0.01mm measurement accuracy.
Catalogue-stated accuracy:
608-150: ±0.02mm
608-200: ±0.03mm
608-300: ±0.04mm
Measuring force, jaw alignment, temperature, cleanliness and instrument condition also affect results.
CARE AND BASIC CHECKS
• Clean the measuring faces and workpiece before use.
• Close the jaws gently and check the zero reading.
• Apply light, consistent measuring force.
• Keep the caliper aligned with the dimension being measured.
• Remove chips and residue before closing the jaws.
• Avoid measuring hot or moving components.
• Keep the battery compartment correctly closed.
• Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and storage instructions.
• Check performance against suitable reference standards according to your quality procedure.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the main feature of the DITRON 608?
It combines catalogue-stated IP67 protection with absolute inductive measurement and a zinc alloy display housing.
What does ABS mean?
It refers to absolute measurement, rather than the housing material.
Does the 608 use inductive sensing?
Yes. Inductive sensing is explicitly listed in the catalogue.
Does it recognise its position after switching off?
The manufacturer states that the absolute system identifies the current slider position after switching on, including when the slider was moved while switched off.
Is the 608 more accurate than the 607?
The supplied catalogue pages list the same accuracy for corresponding measuring ranges. Their stated housing materials differ.
Can it be used around coolant?
The catalogue describes coolant protection. Confirm compatibility with your specific coolant and follow the manufacturer’s exposure and care instructions.
Is the 608 rechargeable?
Rechargeable operation and Type-C charging are not specified on the supplied page. Confirm the battery arrangement before ordering.
Does it have Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is not listed on the supplied page.
Can it measure depth?
Yes. Outside, inside, step and depth measurement are listed.
Is a calibration certificate included?
The catalogue displays a DIN 862 marking but does not confirm that an individual calibration certificate is supplied. Specify documentation requirements when requesting a quotation.
