(Starrett: Athol, MA) -- The L.S. Starrett Co., a leading global manufacturer of precision measuring tools, gages, metrology systems, and more, will be demonstrating the latest in quality control inspection technology at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), Booth 134244, Quality Assurance Sector, East Building, McCormick Place, Chicago, Sept 14–19, 2026.

Starrett will present new solutions, including its HDV 250 Digital Comparator system, new electronic height gages, a new thread gaging line, and a new digital readout series for advanced gaging applications. Starrett will also feature its full line of precision solutions, from vision metrology systems and measuring tools to granite surface plate, laser, force measurement, and custom gaging.

New digital comparator

The Starrett HDV 250 digital comparator provides increased surface illumination and enhanced measurement capability via a high-resolution digital monitor, enabling better images via state-of-the-art comparator technology in a compact, shop-floor friendly design. Features of the HDV 250 include integrated LED ring light-based surface illumination for enhanced contrast and edge definition, a high-resolution digital video camera, micron-level accuracy, and full digital documentation ability for SPC.

Other metrology solutions to be featured include: the AVR 400 Vision System, Starrett’s largest benchtop platform, ideal for measuring a wide range of parts; the HDV 400 CNC digital comparator, combining the best features of a horizontal comparator and a vision system; and the MMS 1000 Force Measurement System for determining load, distance, break applications, and complex material testing.

New electronic height gaging

Starrett will also showcase its new HG Series electronic height gages and new iterations of its 3700 Series electronic height gages.

The HG series is designed for intuitive and ergonomic operation, reliable measurement accuracy, and increased productivity. A large touchscreen interface with clear icons and simple menu options is easy to learn and use, speeding up inspection. Additionally, dual handles, an integrated air-bearing system, and dynamic thumb wheel provide effortless positioning and movement. Gages are offered in ranges of 0–14 in., 0–24 in., and 0–40 in. (0–350 mm, 0–600 mm, and 0–1000 mm).

The Starrett 3756 height gages sport an all-new display design with a large, easy-to-view backlit LED display along with a new, easy-to-use crank wheel for faster, reliable adjustment when measuring a number of different parts or features.

New electronic thread gaging line and new DRO Series

Starrett will also highlight its new 770 electronic internal micrometer series and 781 Accubore electronic pistol grip series, providing advanced, easy-to-use gaging for fast, accurate thread measurement, offering an ergonomic and highly repeatable nondestructive way to measure thread pitch diameters. The new series provides instant measurement feedback and actual size readings that eliminate multiple trial cuts of threads. Interchangeable gage heads are furnished for measuring different thread and bore sizes, further enhancing inspection time savings.

The new Starrett Gx electronic digital readout series for advanced gaging applications performs single or multipoint gage measurements at very high levels of accuracy, utilizing formulas to define and display dimensions based on channel inputs. Multiple data views and data entry mechanisms enable flexibility and fast setup. A wide range of probe types and connectivity options is supported with the Gx series, and programming is intuitively easy.

Comprehensive range of Starrett products and services

Rounding out the wide array of precision solutions will be a Starrett Tru-Stone granite metrology base, the innovative No. W4900 wireless digital indicators, micrometers, calipers, bore gages, a Starrett Bytewise Profile360 blue laser measurement system, and custom gage examples of Starrett special gaging capabilities.

Attendees are invited to bring their gaging and metrology challenges to Booth 134244, where Starrett engineers can provide demonstrations, technical support, or guidance on pursuing customized solutions when conventional products will not suffice.
