DAKOTA PX-7 & PX-7DL
Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges
The PX-7 is a basic precision ultrasonic thickness gauge, designed to measure thin material with smooth and parallel surfaces.
Typical applications are measuring aluminum, titanium and stainless steel sheets, extrusions and machined parts, where accuracy is required in the order of +/- 0.0001".
Other applications include glass and plastic containers and other Q.C. applications, requiring high accuracy and precision and the ability to measure thin materials.
The variety of features offered in the PX-7 and PX-7DL, allow the user to select a quality tool that will meet or exceed their specific application needs. In the Echo-to-Echo Mode, you have the ability to measure the thickness of materials without removing the paint or the coating. Our 5 year limited warranty indicates how we feel about the reliability and durability of the PX SERIES.
The PX-7 is our basic precision gauge model. The PX series are packaged in an aluminum extruded body, with nickel plated aluminum end caps. The PX series gauges are typically used for thin material applications. This gauge has the ability to calibrate a variety of different materials using a one point calibration option. Some of the features include: Scan feature (allowing the user to scan an area for the minimum thickness), alarm mode (audible & visual), differential mode (+/- from nominal thickness value) and RS232 output".
The PX-7DL has all the features of the PX-7 plus a datalogger that stores a total of 1,000 readings in 10 files of 100 readings each. It comes complete with file transfer software.
