The Dakota PMX Precision Thickness Gauge offers user selectable resolution of either 0.01mm or 0.001mm.
The auto find feature locates the detection point(s) and adjusts the display settings to bring the waveform into view.
The high speed scan feature on the Dakota PMX thickness gauge speeds up the inspection process by taking 250 measurements per second. Remove the transducer from the test material and display the minimum measurement scanned.
