Typically used with very thin products such as monofilament. Several strands can be run through the scan field of a micrometer at once, with measurements being performed on all strands simultaneously. All of the measurements available for single axis micrometers can be used with this option. For example, a manufacturer of fishing line might run 10 strands through a single micrometer using a comb. Each one of those strands can be measured and monitored for flaws or breaks.

Same Spot Allows two different measurements to be taken on the same section of product. One measurement is taken at particular point in the line, typically before some process or application is to occur on the product. Then a different scanner takes a new measurement further down the line after the process or application has occurred. As an example, this can be used to measure the thickness of a coating applied to a wire. By measuring the wire before and after the coating has been applied, the two measurements can be correlated to obtain the thickness of the coating.
