MMX Multi-Mode Thickness Gauges by Dakota Ultrasonics
Overview
The MMX Series has arrived! These gauges are the answer to both versatility and convenience in every way! The MMX series defines versatility by combining features like: Fast Scan, Alarm (audible/visual), and data logging, along with multi-mode for reading through and eliminating the thickness of painted or coated materials. The MMX demonstrates convenience by making all these features available to the user with just the touch of a button. Conveniently toggle between pulse-echo mode (detect flaws & pits), and echo-echo mode (eliminate paint & coating thickness), to cover all your inspection requirements. No need to remove or allow for errors due to paint and coatings. The MMX gauges use a highly damped dual element style transducer for both modes, eliminating the need to switch between transducer types. The MMX gauges are packaged in an all aluminum sealed case, making them rugged and resistant to the working environment— Dakota's trademark. 5 Year Limited Warranty
