Precision Thickness Gauges

THE PX SERIES of Precision Thickness

Gauges utilize state-of -the-art digital
technology to produce fast and accurate
readings. The gauges are designed with
the user in mind. They are PACKAGED
in an all aluminum sealed case making
it resistant to the working environment.
The gauges are simple to operate and
are loaded with the FEATURES you have
requested: Alarm Mode, Dierential Mode,
Internal Data-Logging and RS-232 data
output port to interface with a computer
or other data acquisition system.

The gauges have a MEASURING RANGE
from 0.0060 to 1.0000 inch, (0.15 to

25.40 mm). Using a single element delay
Line transducer, the gauges will measure
thin materials in ECHO-TO-ECHO MODE
and automatically switch to INTERFACE­ECHO MODE when measuring thicker
materials and plastics.

THE PX-7’S echo-to-echo mode
oers the user the ability to measure the
thickness of materials without removing
the paint or the coating.
