The MX-2 is ideal for theperson that tests a few differentmaterials regularly. The MX-2 con-tains 8 velocities of commonmaterials and 2 velocities thatthe user can set using a simplesoftware program.

The MX-1 and MX-2 arepackaged in all metal cases,sealed with gaskets to protectthem from harsh working envi-ronments. These gauges can gowhere you go, to do the work you do, saving you time and money, making fast accurate measure-ments.

Dakota Ultrasonics offers quality gauges that are reliable, innova-tive and competitively priced - all backed by the longest warranty in the business—5 full years.

The MX-1 and MX-2 are fixedvelocity gauges making themaffordable precision tools thatrequire no special training tooperate.

The MX-1 will hold a singlevelocity, making it the perfect choice where one material is being tested day after day. With the preset velocity in the gauge, you simply turn on the gauge and you are ready to work. The velocity is set in the MX-1 with a simple software program that is suppliedwith the unit.

The MMX Series has arrived! These gauges are the answer toboth versatility and convenience in every way! The MMX series

defines versatility by combining features like: Fast Scan, Alarm(audible/visual), and data logging, along with multi-mode for

reading through and eliminating the thicknessof painted or coated materials. The MMX demonstrates

convenience by making all these features available to theuser with just the touch of a button.

Conveniently toggle between pulse-echo mode(detect flaws & pits), and echo-echo mode

(eliminate paint & coating thickness), to cover allyour inspection requirements. No need

to remove or allow for errors due to paintand coatings. The MMX gauges use a highlydamped dual element style transducer for both

modes, eliminating the need to switch betweentransducer types.

The MMX gauges are packaged in an all alu-minum sealed case, making them rugged

and resistant to the working environ-ment—Dakota’s trademark.
