The Dakota Ultrasonics CMX Series v2.0 Material & Coating Thickness Gauges represent a line of advanced handheld instruments designed for precise, non-destructive measurement of both material thickness and the thickness of various coatings applied to different substrates. This specific version (v2.0) builds upon the established reliability of the CMX series by incorporating several key enhancements for improved accuracy and ease of use.

A significant feature of the CMX Series v2.0 is its dedicated suite of Coating Modes. These specialized modes optimize the measurement process for different types of coatings (such as paint, polymers, and platings) on metallic and non-metallic substrates, ensuring reliable and accurate readings of the coating layer without being influenced by the substrate material.

The gauges are equipped with intelligent automatic functions, including Auto Probe Zero and Auto Probe Recognition. Auto Probe Zero simplifies the calibration process by automatically zeroing the probe, ensuring optimal measurement accuracy. Auto Probe Recognition automatically identifies the connected transducer and configures the gauge settings accordingly, streamlining the setup process and preventing user errors.

To maintain accuracy across varying environmental conditions, the CMX Series v2.0 features Automatic Temperature Compensation. This intelligent function automatically adjusts measurements to account for temperature fluctuations in the material and the surrounding environment, providing consistent and reliable readings.

A notable characteristic of this particular model within the CMX Series v2.0 is the absence of an internal data logger. While the gauge excels at providing immediate and accurate thickness measurements, it does not have the capability to store these readings internally for later retrieval, download, or analysis. Users seeking data logging capabilities should explore other models within the CMX Series.

Connectivity is provided via a modern USB-C port, which serves dual purposes. It allows for convenient firmware updates to ensure the gauge stays current with the latest features and improvements.

Additionally, the USB-C port supports a line power option, enabling the gauge to be powered directly from a USB power source, offering an alternative to battery operation for extended use in stationary settings. Portable battery operation is also a standard feature, providing flexibility for field applications.

Manufactured by Dakota Ultrasonics, a reputable leader in non-destructive testing and measurement equipment, the CMX Series v2.0 (No Data Logger) offers a robust, accurate, and user-friendly solution for material and coating thickness measurement in a wide range of industrial and quality control applications where immediate readings are sufficient and internal data storage is not required.
