Interface Echo (I-E) Echo-Echo (E-E) & Plastic Mode (PLAS) measurement modes
Measurement range from 0.15mm (0.006") to 25.40mm (1.00")
2-Point, 1-Point, Material & Factory Calibration options
The Dakota Ultrasonics PCX8-DL Precision Thickness Gauges - Z-314-0001 range comes with all the features and functionality necessary for precisely measuring material thickness on virtually any material.
| Accurate
Measures thin materials with pinpoint accuracy Flexible & easy to use, the Dakota PCX Precision Thickness Gauge has a measurement range from 0.15mm (0.006") to 25.40mm (1.000") with up to ±1% accuracy, across three measurement modes; Interface Echo (IE), Echo Echo (EE) & Plastic mode (PLAS). |  |
| Powerful
Store each measurement for further analysis Up to 100,000 readings can be saved into the gauge memory as each measurement is taken, which can be downloaded later into an inspection application or into DakMaster™ for further analysis and reporting. | |
| Wireless Connectivity
Seamlessly connect to PC Connect the Dakota PCX Precision Thickness Gauge via Bluetooth® or USB to a PC & download the data into an inspection application or into DakMaster™ Software for instant report generation. | |
| Customisable
Choose & customise the reading display The Dakota PCX Precision Thickness Gauge has a choice of display modes allowing the user to select the most appropriate for their needs; Readings, Selected Statistics, Bar Graph, Run Chart & Differential Mode. | |
| Measurement Modes Interface Echo (IE); The total thickness from the top of any coating through to the material density boundary (typically the back-wall) is measured. Suitable for measurement of materials between 1.65mm and 25.4mm (0.065" to 1") thick. | |
Echo Echo (EE); ideal for measuring thin materials, the material thickness from the top surface of the material to the material density boundary (typically the backwall) is measured. Suitable for measurement of materials between 0.15mm and 10.15mm (0.006" to 0.4") thick.
Plastic Mode (PLAS); specifically used for measuring very thin plastics between 0.15mm and 5mm (0.006" to 0.197") thick. A graphite delay line is required when using this mode.
| User Definable Upper and Lower Limits The Dakota PCX Precision Thickness gauge has user definable upper and lower limits with audible and visual pass/fail warnings allowing the user to compare readings to predefined values. The Dakota PCX Precision Thickness Gauge can store up to 40 pre-programmed limits which can be set for individual readings or for each batch. | |
If a measurement is taken which falls outside set limits, the reading value and the limit icon turn red, the red LED flashes and the alarm beeps providing immediate indication of problem areas.
| Calibration Options The Dakota PCX Precision Thickness Gauge has a number of calibration options including the 1-Point & 2-Point method and Velocity. Alternatively, the user can select one of 39 pre-set materials stored within the gauge including; aluminium, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, plexiglass, PVC, polystyrene and polyurethane. | |
The Dakota PCX Precision Thickness Gauge allows users to store into memory up to three calibrations. Once saved the user can select a calibration without the need to re-calibrate the gauge. Using the gauge’s alpha-numeric function, calibration memories can be re-named to suit the calibration setting.
