V3 / V4
Height Gauges for the Workshop

V3 & V4 l 21.
INTRODUCTION
The V3 et V4 vertical measuring instruments
have been developed for the most difficult
workshop environments. Manufactured in their
entirety in Switzerland, they will guarantee arobust, precise and reliable product on the longrun.
For more than 40 years Trimos philosophy has
been to offer easy-to-use instruments that arevery efficient in production environment.
The display unit provides functions that are
directly accessible and depicted with symbols
easy to understand.
This allows for easy and quick handling even byunqualified personnel. The large 2-line « BlackMask » display offers an exceptional contrast
in all lighting conditions, a unique characteristicon the market.
 Measuring ranges 400 and 700 mm

DIFFERENCES
V3
The V3 measuring column represents the entrylevel of Trimos universal measuring columns. It fully
benefits from the developments realized onsuperior models. A robust and easy-to-use
instrument including all functions essential for a usein the workshop.

V4
The V4 measuring column offers the samefunctions as the V3. In addition it is equipped witha second probe holder as well as with an air
cushion for easy displacement on the measuringtable. The programmable functions buttons of thehandle allow a quick access to the functions mostused.

INTRODUCTION
The vertical measuring instruments V5 and V6 are
the descendants of the legendary V+ line, fromwhich thousands of units have already been soldin workshops all over the world and areuniversally recognized for their easy use and theirhigh quality.
Trimos was the first to offer vertical measuring
instruments on the market more than 40 years
ago. The V5 and V6 represent a consolidation of
know-how accumulated over the years. The very
legible display and the user-friendly functions
offer exceptional comfort use. But that’s not it:
The V5 and V6 are equipped with a revolutionary
displacement handwheel which offers its user thechoice of the displacement mode of themeasuring carriage, either manual or motordriven. Each one of these modes, suffers from nocompromise, which means that the user whoprefers a manual instrument will not notice a
difference with a classic manual instrument andthe same applies to the motor-driven
displacement. This innovation avoids having to
make a difficult choice during the purchase andcan accommodate multiple potential users withthe same instrument.
 Measuring ranges 400, 700 and 11000 mm
 Extremely easy to use
 Electronically adjustable measuring force
 Manual or motor-driven displacement
 Larger than 300 mm probes as standard Vast range of accessories
 All adjustments possible without tools
 RS232 et USB interfaces

DIFFERENCES
V5
The design of the V5 with its side probe holders
revives an old Trimos tradition: They enablemeasuring with long, robust probes guaranteeing
an excellent repeatability.

V6
The V6 is of the same calibre as the V5. It’s
equipped with a more precise measuring systemand enables the use of an electronic perpendicular
probe.
