Dakota NDT ZX6 Multi-Echo Thickness Gauge

The Dakota NDT ZX6 thickness gauge is a basic dual element thickness gauge with through paint measurement capability and the ability to locate blind surface pitting and internal defects and flaws in materials. It is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with accuracy as high as ±0.001 inches (±0.01 millimeters). The ZX6 combines a standard pulse-echo flaw detection measurement mode with a multi-echo through-paint mode for use on materials with epoxy based coating, and eliminates the error from the coating without having to remove it. It is equipped with adjustable gain, as well as auto Time Dependent Gain in both measurement modes. The ZX6 offers a high speed scan feature that allows for scanning larger areas on a given test material, while still offering reasonable representation of thickness over the area scanned. The ZX6 can be powered using the standard USB-C to USB-A data cable (purchased separately) by connecting directly to a USB port on the user’s computer, or using a standard cell phone power adapter directly to an outlet. This is a convenient way to power the gauge for specific bench top applications in a factory line environment. The ZX6 is equipped with a USB-C connector and offers serial over USB using a CDC (Communications Data Class) and software wedge to transfer data into common text editors and spreadsheet software programs, as needed. The ZX6 does not have internal memory to store data, but is used to connect to external storage devices such as SPC data collectors and PC based software programs. The ZX6 features a 5-year limited warranty.
