MMX-6 Series
The
Versatility & Convenience
The MMX Series has arrived! These gauges are the answer to
both 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 thickness
of painted or coated materials. The MMX demonstrates
convenience by making all these features available to the
user 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 all
your inspection requirements. No need
to remove or allow for errors due to paint
and coatings. The MMX gauges use a highly
damped dual element style transducer for both
modes, eliminating the need to switch between
transducer types.
The MMX gauges are packaged in an all aluminum sealed case, making them rugged
and resistant to the working environment—Dakota’s trademark.

Gauges
The MX-1 and MX-2 are fixed
velocity gauges making them
affordable precision tools that
require no special training to
operate.
The MX-1 will hold a single
velocity, 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 supplied
with the unit.
S O U N D
The MX-2 is ideal for the
person that tests a few different
materials regularly. The MX-2 contains 8 velocities of common
materials and 2 velocities that
the user can set using a simple
software program.
The MX-1 and MX-2 are
packaged in all metal cases,
sealed with gaskets to protect
them from harsh working environments. These gauges can go
where you go, to do the work you
do, saving you time and money,
making fast accurate measurements.
Dakota Ultrasonics offers quality
gauges that are reliable, innovative and competitively priced - all
backed by the longest warranty in
the business—5 full years.

The
PR-8V
SONIC TESTER
The physical size, weight,
and display resolution are
just a few of the benefits
of the PR-8V
▶ The time-based
B-Scan feature of
the PR-8V displays a cross
section of the opposite surface,
allowing engine builders the ability to
see the contour of the back surface in cylinders
while scanning.
▶ Use the Multi-Mode (Echo-Echo mode) feature to measure
chassis tubing with or without paint and coatings. Built-in
automatic gain control.
▶ Selectable low, medium, and high gain settings offer
the inspector the additional punch power for materials
that are hard to penetrate.
▶ The variety of calibration options is just one more
example of PR-8V’s versatility.
▶ Store up to 64 custom setups. Factory setups
available for common applications.
▶ The internal Data Logger of the PR-8V has been
customized for both the engine builder and the chassis inspector. Selectable cylinder mapping or general
alpha numeric file storage will satisfy your reporting
needs.
▶ Built-in transducer types offer increased linearity
between transducers.
▶ The Fast Scan feature provides a better representation during the scanning process, by making 32 measurements per second. Remove the transducer from the
test material and display the thinnest measurement found.
▶ Use the visual and audible alarm to set Hi and Lo limits
to signal the inspector when the measurements are out of
tolerance.
▶ The PR-8V also comes complete with our Windows®
PC software for transferring data to- and from a PC, and
viewing B-Scans, Cylinder Maps, and general measurements.
▶ 2 year limited warranty.

cylinder and drag it to the top, the gauge
will display the thinnest reading measured.
Unlike calipers, the PR-82 will measure
where there is access to only one side.
This makes it valuable when measuring
roll cage thickness, cylinder walls (before
and after boring) and heads during porting.
The PR-82 is a lightweight, rugged tool

Line transducer, the gauges will measure
thin materials in ECHO-TO-ECHO MODE
and automatically switch to INTERFACEECHO MODE when measuring thicker
materials and plastics.

Take your MX-3 or MMX-6 underwater with the UMX underwater enclosure. This custom designed housing provides a convenient method for off-shore inspections. The combination was
designed to inspect for corrosion in a variety of off-shore applications: ships, pipes, storage
vessels, docks, pilings and piers. The MX-3 is a pulse-echo style thickness gauge for use on noncoated materials, while the MMX-6 is equipped with an additional echo-echo feature to measure
coated materials and eliminate the coating thickness.

VX
Velocity
Gauge
The VX is a hand-held ultrasonic velocity
gauge. When measuring materials such as
casts, alloys, or plastics, the VX displays the
speed of sound (velocity) through the material;
thus giving an indication of its consistency.
The VX gauge has 2 measuring modes: The
Point-to-Point mode, which is simply
placing the probe to the material and the
gauge will display the velocity at that point.
The Scan mode allows the operator to place
the probe on the material and then move the
probe along the surface; when the probe is
lifted from the material, it will then display the
fastest velocity the gauge found on the area
covered.
The VX is packaged in an all metal case, sealed
with gaskets to protect them from harsh
working environments. This gauge can go
where you go, to do the work you do, saving
you time and money, making fast accurate
measurements.
Dakota Ultrasonics offers quality gauges that
are reliable, innovative and competitively
priced, all backed by the longest warranty in
the business—5 full years.
