The heart of the system is the patented Sylvac non-contact capacitive scale system; there are no glass scales, racks or encoders to break down or wear out. Ideal for the most rugged shop environments, the Sylvac system is insensitive to magnetic and electrical interference, oil, dust, dirt and RF noise.

The Vertical III also provides for 2-Coordinate XY measuring by rotating the measured part 90º. This mode allows for the "Vertical III" to perform 80% of the work of a CMM for a fraction of the price, and minimal size, space and training requirements.

By utilizing a simple to use operator interface and a "learn" programming mode, complex measuring sequences can be accomplished by even unskilled operators. Tolerancing can be part of the part program, and all values, including out of tolerance condition can be printed out or downloaded to PC via RS-232.
