The MX-1 and MX-2 are xed

velocity gauges making them

aordable precision tools that

require no special training to

operate.

The MX-1 will hold a single

velocity, making it the perfect

choice where one material is

being tested day after day.

With the preset velocity in

the gauge, you simply turn

on the gauge and you are

ready to work. The velocity

is set in the MX-1 with a

simple software program

that is supplied

with the unit.

The MX-2 is ideal for the
person that tests a few dierent
materials regularly. The MX-2 con­tains 8 velocities of common
materials and 2 velocities that
the user can set using a simple
software program.

The MX-1 and MX-2 are
packaged in all metal cases,
sealed with gaskets to protect
them from harsh working envi­ronments. These gauges can go
where you go, to do the work you
do, saving you time and money,
making fast accurate measure­ments.

Dakota Ultrasonics oers quality
gauges that are reliable, innova­tive and competitively priced - all
backed by the longest warranty in
the business—5 full years.
