This document describes the features and characteristics of the Wiha Fibre-glass-reinforced Caliper. The caliper is made from a high-quality fibre-glass-reinforced material, offering high Swiss precision. It is particularly suitable for measuring high-quality and highly sensitive objects in various fields of application.
Wiha introduced the world’s first non‑metallic fibre‑glass‑reinforced calipers, combining 60% fibre‑glass content with high rigidity for precise, scratch‑free measurements on delicate surfaces. The range includes the digiMax digital caliper, dialMax analog dial, and caliMax vernier models, each featuring automatic shut‑off, long‑life batteries, and CE compliance.
These calipers resist corrosion, chemicals, magnetic interference, and high temperatures (up to 180 °C short‑term, 100‑120 °C continuous), making them suitable for research, electronics, prototype work, and metal, wood, or plastic processing environments.

They are made of a non‑metallic high‑tech material containing 60% fibre‑glass.
No, they are non‑magnetic, preventing metal filings from affecting measurements.
The battery provides approximately two years of service life.
They tolerate short‑term temperatures up to 180 °C and continuous use between 100 °C and 120 °C.
