Dakota CX2 Material Thickness Gauge
Overview
The Dakota CX2 Material Thickness Gauge is designed for industrial users who require accurate ultrasonic thickness measurements without unnecessary complexity. It operates using ultrasonic pulse-echo technology, allowing inspectors to measure material thickness when access is limited to one side of the test object. This makes the CX2 suitable for routine inspection, preventive maintenance, and basic quality control programs across a wide range of industries.
The CX2 is commonly used for thickness measurement on steel, aluminum, glass, plastics, and other engineering materials. Its straightforward user interface minimizes setup time and operator training while maintaining the core accuracy expected from Dakota NDT instruments. The gauge supports essential calibration options to match material sound velocity and inspection requirements, ensuring consistent and repeatable results in real-world inspection environments.
As part of the CX Series, the CX2 integrates into industrial inspection workflows where simplicity, portability, and reliability are prioritized over advanced data logging or complex analysis features. Seven Star LLC supplies the Dakota CX2 as an official Dakota NDT representative, providing access to genuine equipment, technical consultation, and long-term support.
Measurement Characteristics
The CX2 uses ultrasonic pulse-echo measurement principles to determine material thickness accurately. Calibration can be performed using known reference samples or preset material velocities to improve measurement accuracy for specific materials. The clear digital display allows operators to quickly read thickness values during spot checks and routine inspections.
The handheld design supports both field and workshop use, making the CX2 suitable for daily inspection tasks where portability and ease of use are essential.
Typical Industrial Use
The Dakota CX2 is commonly used for routine wall thickness checks on pipes and tubing, inspection of fabricated metal components, maintenance inspections in industrial plants, and general ultrasonic thickness verification where advanced data storage is not required.
Why This Model
The CX2 is intended for users who need a dependable ultrasonic thickness gauge with essential functionality and minimal configuration. Its balance of accuracy, simplicity, and durability makes it a practical choice for maintenance teams, inspectors, and technicians performing regular thickness measurements in industrial environments.
