ZX-1 & ZX-2 THICKNESS GAUGES

The ZX-1 & 2 are basic xed velocity gauges that require no special training to operate.
Calibration is done by simply scrolling to a known material velocity, or selecting a common
material from a list of material types in the ZX-2. The gauges were designed and built to
withstand the roughest industry conditions, are aordable, and backed by a 5 year limited
warranty. If you’re looking for a quality instrument to reliably meet or exceed your application
expectations, look no further.
