PZX-7 SERIES THICKNESS GAUGES

The PZX-7 series gauges are our basic single element precision gauges, and equipped with a variety of measurement
modes to address a number of potential applications. They can use both high and low frequency transducers with
a variety of diameter options. Both models have USB-C connectivity, with and without data storage, and serial over
USB-C using a CDC class. Optional RS232 and bluetooth modules available for connection with data collectors and

custom apps. Our 5 year limited warranty indicates how we feel about the durability of the PZX Series.
