Dakota CX Thickness Gauges

 

Product Description

The Dakota CX Ultrasonic Material Thickness Gauges have all the features and functionality necessary for measuring material thickness and velocity on virtually any material – for a wide range of applications.

  • Auto recognition ensures correct probe is identified when transducer is changed
  • Scan Mode at 16Hz, ideal for measuring a large surface area
  • User selectable reading resolution; 0.1mm or 0.01mm
  • Pulse Echo (PE), Echo Echo ThruPaint & Velocity (VM) measurement modes
  • Hi & Lo limit indicators make problem areas visible
  • Integrated zero disc ensures maximum accuracy
  • Stores up to 100,000 readings in up to 1,000 sequential batches
  • Selectable reading rate of 4, 8, 16Hz (4, 8, 16 readings per second)
