MarCal digital calipers offer a number of data output options, including wireless, and are available with protection against dust and immersion to class IP67. Advanced electronics provide increased battery life, and the line is available in a range of sizes, and blade and anvil configurations.

In addition to calipers with standard jaw designs, the MarCal line also includes a number of specially designed contact tips for measuring special part characteristics, and even jaws with replaceable and configurable contact points. Examples include cylindrically shaped jaws for exploring the wall thickness on cylindrical parts; narrow tipped jaws for measuring small grooves; jaw anvils configured to access recessed grooves, both ID and OD; tapered jaw tips designed to measure center-to-center distances on holes; adjustable height jaws to facilitate stepped measurements; knife-edge jaws with extra reach; and many more.

For users who require a high degree of versatility in their calipers, Mahr Federal offers a Universal Digital Caliper design. The MarCal 16 EWV can be used as a standard caliper, but includes a number of special blade tips, anvils and accessories that snap on for measuring a variety of groove and recess configurations. Other standard accessories include a depth measuring bridge, an ID setting gage, a device to determine measuring force, and attachments for measuring threads, balls, serrations and similar geometries. The MarCal Universal Digital Caliper includes all the standard features of the MarCal Digital Caliper line, and comes complete in a special carrying case designed to accommodate all the accessories.
