ZX-6 SERIES THICKNESS GAUGES

The ZX-6 series gauges are at the top of the ZX line of basic thickness gauges. They combine a standard
pulse-echo aw detection measurement mode with a multi-echo through paint mode for use on materials
with epoxy based coatings, and eliminate the error from the coating without having to remove it. They
are equipped with adjustible gain, as well as auto Time Dependent Gain in both measurement modes. Our
5 year limited warranty indicates how we feel about the durability and reliablity of the ZX-6 Series.
