The Dakota Ultrasonics PZX-7 Series represents a pinnacle of precision and reliability in ultrasonic thickness gauging technology. Designed for demanding industrial applications, these gauges offer a comprehensive suite of features to ensure accurate and consistent thickness measurements across a wide range of materials and environments.
At the heart of the PZX-7 Series is a powerful 120MHz FPGA timing system, enabling rapid data processing and highly precise measurements. This high-speed processing capability ensures that users can obtain reliable results quickly, even in challenging inspection scenarios.
The gauges are equipped with a 100-volt spike pulser, which delivers a strong ultrasonic signal for optimal penetration and measurement accuracy. This robust pulser ensures reliable performance across a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
The PZX-7 Series offers versatile measurement modes, including Pulse-Echo, Echo-Echo, Interface-Echo, and Plastics. Pulse-Echo is the standard mode for general thickness measurements, while Echo-Echo mode allows for accurate measurements on coated surfaces by ignoring the coating layer. Interface-Echo mode is designed for specialized applications involving material interfaces, and the Plastics mode is optimized for measuring the thickness of plastic materials.
To ensure consistent signal strength and measurement accuracy, the gauges feature automatic time-dependent gain (TDG) with manual override. This feature automatically adjusts the signal strength to compensate for attenuation, while still providing users with the flexibility to manually fine-tune the gain as needed.
For data logging and analysis, the PZX-7 Series includes a built-in data logger capable of storing up to 10,000 readings in 40 files of 250 readings per file. This extensive data storage capacity allows users to capture and analyze large datasets for comprehensive inspection reports.
The gauges are compatible with single-element delay line and contact transducers, supporting a wide frequency range of 5 to 20MHz. This versatility allows users to select the appropriate transducer for their specific application and material.
Designed for use in extreme environments, the PZX-7 Series features a low-temperature custom LCD display that remains readable even at temperatures as low as -22°F (-30°C). This ensures that users can obtain accurate readings in harsh conditions.
Connectivity options include CDC-compatible serial over USB, optional serial RS232 or Bluetooth modules, and USB-C connectivity. These options facilitate seamless data transfer and integration with computers and other devices.
The gauges are equipped with 32 megabits of flash memory for data storage and an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding industrial settings.
Dakota Ultrasonics stands behind the quality of the PZX-7 Series with a 5-year warranty, demonstrating their confidence in the gauges' performance and durability.
