Measurement Data Wireless Communication System
What is the U-WAVE Series?
“U-WAVE”, the measurement data wireless communication system, collects data in the inspection process swiftly and accurately, and increases a company's competitiveness based on detailed data analysis. In addition, together with MeasurLink, “IoT of Quality Control envisioned by Mitutoyo” can be achieved.
Achieve Smart Measurement
Measurement Data Wireless Communication System U-WAVE
This is a system that transmits data from Mitutoyo Digimatic gages to software such as Excel or Notepad via wireless communication.It saves time and eliminates misinput, helps achieve cost reductions and better efficiency while maintaining excellent operability.
From a Digimatic gage connected with U-WAVE |
Data is obtained via wireless communication and sent to commercial software such as Excel |
Higher Efficiency Data can be input by single button operation! Since there is no need for manual input misinput does not occur. Efficiency is greatly improved! |
Centralized Data Management Measurement data can be managed centrally! “Visualization of quality” helps prevent the generation of defective products! |
Cost Reduction Effect Easily connected to the Digimatic gage* currently in use!A system configuration reducing the initial and running cost is possible. |
Issue Manual input of measurement data is inefficient and frequently generates misinput. |
![]() |
Solution U-WAVE immediately transmits the measurementdata to your PC. Misinput due to manual input can be eliminated, and therefore data reliability and operational efficiency is improved. |
Issue Loading measurement data via wireless is seen as desirable but justifying any high initial investment is difficult. |
![]() |
Solution No high initial investment required because U-WAVE can be inexpensively connected to your existing Digimatic gages. No need to purchase replacements. |
Issue Since multiple operators use Digimatic gages, it takes a long time for data collection and Pass/fail judgment. |
![]() |
Solution Up to 100 Digimatic gages can be registered to a single U-WAVE receiver on the PC side. The data is automatically entered separately in the Excel sheet. Therefore, data collection and Pass/fail judgment are easily performed. |
Higher Efficiency
LED or a buzzer notifies data reception | Dustproof and water resistant IP67 model | |
Confirmation that data was successfully received. Note: The buzzer sound is only available with the buzzer equipped model. -Normally received: green LED blinks -Reception failed: red LED blinks |
The water-proofed transmitter is resistant to water and dust. |
Cordless enables freedom of movement | Flexible layout of measurement site |
Misinput generated by manual input is eliminated | Stable wireless communication |
Operation in an Excel sheet | Digitalization enables easy data collection and analysis | |
The data can be directly written into an Excel sheet. |
The measurement data from each process can be stored and managed centrally. |
Multiple gages can be connected at the same time |
Note:Receiver not necessary when using with Mitutoyo Bluetooth® U-WAVE fit
If a Digimatic gage is damaged, operation can be continued using a different gage |
The transmitter can be reconnected to a different Digimatic gage.
Connectable to any of your existing Digimatic gages | Approximately 400,000 continuous data transmissions are possible | |
No need to buy a replacement if your tool is equipped with the Digimatic function. |
Just one CR2032 lithium battery provides power for about 400,000 data transmissions. |
Convenient data collection tool and quality control software
The following three types are currently available.
1.U-WAVE Comprises of a receiver (U-WAVE-R) that connects to a PC and a transmitter (U-WAVE-T) that connects to a Digimatic gage |
![]() |
2.U-WAVE fit Dedicated for Digimatic calipers and Digimatic micrometers, it inherits the functions and performance of U-WAVE but is more compact, thinner, and with improved operability. |
![]() |
3.Mitutoyo Bluetooth® U-WAVE fit U-WAVE fit with Bluetooth® capability. It can not only connect to a PC, but also other devices that support Bluetooth®, such as a smartphone or tablet without the need for an external receiver unit. |

In combination with application software USB-ITPAK V2.1, better efficiency in quality assurance can be achieved.
Case 1 |
Issue | To record the measurement results, on a chart, from three points on a mass-produced product measured using two gages. |
Standard sequential measurement input |
Solution | If you set the procedure of inputting data to the Excel sheet with USB-ITPAK V2.1, the measurement data is automatically entered. |
Measure the workpiece dimensions, X and Y, with a micrometer. Then, measure H with a caliper. Finally, visually check the appearance and judge OK or NG. Perform the above for 5 workpieces consecutively.
Point |
Measurements in order The designated table will be created by measuring and transmitting data for X and Y of 5 workpieces, measuring and transmitting data of H, and then entering the result of visual check. |
Point |
Set the sequential measurement input order Designate the Excel sheet, select the data loading range, loading order, and allocate the ID for each cell. |
Case 2 |
Issue | To sort data into separate Excel sheets per Digimatic gage in the inspection process. |
Data input by multiple operators |
Solution | The data collected by multiple operators can be individually set to be input to the designated cells in the Excel sheet. |
Input data of each Digimatic gage in order into the designated cells of the separate Excel sheet.
Point |
Up to 100 Digimatic gages can be registered 100 Digimatic gages at maximum can be registered to a receiver and the same number of Excel sheets can be designated. |
Point |
Designate the Excel sheet per Digimatic gage Using USB-ITPAK, designate the Excel sheet per Digimatic gage. Then, same as the sequential measurement, select the data loading range, loading order, and allocate the IDs. |
Features of USB-ITPAK V2.1
● The measuring methods can be configured, such as sequential measurement, batch measurement, individual measurement and more. | ● Input range can be specified per Digimatic gage, which reduces the chance of a misinput. |
● Data can be canceled by a single operation of the foot switch or function key. | ● The Excel sheet can be automatically called for data input. |
● Input range can be specified per Digimatic gage, which reduces the chance of a misinput. | ● The cursor movement after data input can be set to enable automatic input. |
Case 3 |
Issue | To measure displacement using multiple Digimatic gages and automatically obtain data in a certain input interval. |
Batch measurement using timer |
Solution | Batch timer input is available using the USB-ITPAK batch measurement function and the optional timer input function. |
Specify the interval for measuring the displacement of the workpiece and collect data at once.
Point |
Batch measurement with all the Digimatic gages Data can be obtained globally by a foot switch operation. |
Point |
Timer input option Using USB-ITPAK, the data request interval can be set by hours, minutes, and seconds (0.0 sec. to 24 hrs.). |
Point |
Batch timer input Data can be obtained at the desired interval using the timer input function in batch measurement. |
To perform simultaneous measurement using U-WAVE, a special order software U-WAVEPAK (event drive) is required. |
