German term

Längentaster

German to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Measurements for production quality inspections
Sentence: "Längentaster ermitteln dann an 3 Stellen das gewünschte Maß." I know "Messtaster" is "calipers", but don't know enough about measurement devices to work this one out.
Proposed translations (English)
3 Distance Calliper

German term (edited): L�ngentaster
Selected

Distance Calliper

Callipers measure thickness/diameter/distance so the 'Laengen' part might suggest a specific type.

Or simply use calliper on its own
