Dakota ZX6-DL Thickness Gauge
The Dakota ZX6-DL is the most advanced model in the ZX thickness gauge series, combining precision ultrasonic measurement with powerful flaw detection capabilities in one rugged handheld device. Designed for demanding industrial environments, it features both Pulse-Echo and Echo-Echo (thru-paint) modes, allowing accurate thickness readings without removing coatings or epoxy layers. With adjustable gain, Time Dependent Gain (TDG), high-speed scanning, and built-in data logging, the ZX6-DL delivers reliable performance, fast inspections, and professional-grade results for maintenance, corrosion monitoring, and quality control applications.
