DAKOTA ULTRASONICS PZX Series has arrived. The variety of features offered in the PZX-1 and PZX-1DL allow the user to select a quality tool that will meet or exceed their specific application needs. In the Echo-to-Echo Mode you have the ability to measure the thickness of materials without removing the paint or the coating. Our 5 year limited warranty indicates how we feel about the reliability and durability of the PZX SERIES.

The PZX-1 series gauges are our basic single element precision gauges, and equipped with a variety of measurement modes to address a number of potential applications. They can use both high and low frequency transducers with a variety of diameter options. Both models have USB-C connectivity, with and without data storage, and serial over USB-C using a CDC class. Optional RS232 and bluetooth modules available for connection with data collectors and custom apps. Our 5 year limited warranty indicates how we feel about the durability of the PZX Series.
