MMX-6 DL Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

INTRODUCTION

The Dakota Ultrasonics model MMX-6 DL is a precision Ultrasonic Micrometer. Based on the same operating principles as SONAR, the MMX-6 DL is capable of measuring the thickness of various materials with accuracy as high as ± 0.001 inches, or ± 0.01 millimeters. The principle advantage of ultrasonic measurement over traditional methods is that ultrasonic measurements can be performed with access to only one side of the material being measured.

This manual is presented in three sections. The first section covers operation of the MMX-6 DL, and explains the keypad controls and display. The second section provides guidelines in selecting a transducer for a specific application. The last section provides application notes and a table of sound velocity values for various materials.
