We are a manufacturer of industrial ultrasonic testing equipment most commonly used in the petrochemical, aerospace, automotive, and other generally related industries. The pages that follow will provide you with general information regarding our products. If you have any questions, need technical support, or have a request for custom items, please contact us at your leisure using the information provided on this site.

Our products are commonly used to determine the thickness of a variety of materials by making contact with only one side of the material being tested. They have the ability to detect very fine pits, flaws, and porosity in materials without having to destroy the material or parts being tested. This is done by converting the transit time of a sound wave, sent into and reflecting back from a defect or opposite surface in the test material, into a length measurement. This technique uses principles similar to that of sonar.

We also manufacture a line of ultrasonic bolting equipment that very accurately measures the stress, elongation, and load in threaded fasteners. These products are typically used in critical bolting applications where extreme accuracy is needed. If you have any specific or specialized bolting applications in mind, be sure to contact us to discuss your requirements in detail.

Enjoy!



   
  News Brief:
  Highlights:
The CMX Multi-Purpose Material & Coating Thickness Gauge- Officially Released!


Click To See Larger - Hurray!! The new CMX series gauges are the latest addition to the Dakota product line. It's a brand new DSP platform, using FPGA technoloy. We've designed a multi-purpose material and coating thickness platform with a ton of capabilities. The CMX features include: auto probe zero, auto probe recognition, auto temperature compensation, and a stand alone coating only mode. The standard pulse-ehco and thru-paint echo-echo modes are also ongoing features included in the mix.

Not only will the CMX simultaneously measure the material and coating thickness, but it will also find pits & flaws at the same time! A custom calibration configuration for both the material and coating types offers extreme linearity. Our custom transducer linearity table enables all of our dual element transducers to operate only with precision.

Create and store 64 custom setups for all your common testing applications. Switch into the time based B-Scan view, to enable a cross section view of the material your inspecting. Kick the CMX into high gear, enabling our high speed scan at 50 readings per second!

Simply too many attributes to mention everything! Take a closer look at the .pdf specifications for further details regarding the CMX gauges.

The CMX DL - Counterpart


Click To See Larger - Hurray!! The CMX DL includes all of the features mention above in the CMX, but is equipped with a super data logger, to say the least! The data logger consists of two file formats: Sequential logging with auto identifiers, and alpha numeric grid. The file formats are currently compatible with UltraPipe asset management software.

Now, let's talk about the storage capacity...shall we? The CMX DL can store 16,000+ readings, with B-Scan captures and all gauges settings and features, or turn the graphics mode off and store over 210,000 readings! Enough said!

Oh and by the way! Don't forget to take a look at the price tag!

900F Dual Element Probe
Click To See Larger Image!! We've released our new high temperature dual element transducer for those extra hot applications. These are currently supplied in our 1/4" configuration, but we'll also be releasing a 1/2" version momentarily.

These are compatible with any of the M series or new CMX series gauges. The advantage of using these in conjunction of with the CMX series gauges, is the auto probe zero capability, which automatically compensates for increases in temperature.


MiniMax Pump Shutoff Box
Click To See Larger Image!! Our ultrasonic bolting monitor can be configured to control a hydraulic or pneumatic torque wrench pump, by attaching and installing our shutoff box to the pump itself. The MiniMax is then attached to the shutoff box, and assumes accurate control of acheiving the target preload in fasteners.

The shutoff box is only feasible in bolting applications where access to both ends of the bolt are available, or and open end box wrench is available.

Give us a call to further discuss your potential applications!


Transducer Extension Wand
Click To See Larger Image!! We've added an extension wand to our precision gauge single element transducers. If you need to get into some tight areas and need to reach a little further, the extension wand is your answer.

Note: The extension wand is only available with a male and female microdot configuration.
