The MMX-6 series thickness gauge is a simple to use hand-held Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge with the ability to measure through paint and coatings and eliminate the thickness of the paint or coating. The MMX-6 uses a dual element style transducer. With the single press of a button, the MMX-6 can be switched between pit or flaw mode ( pulse-echo), and through paint/coatings mode (echo-echo) for maximum inspection efficiency. The MMX-6 is equipped with a bundle of features to make your job eaiser: Alarm mode, high speed scanning, and data send are the main features of the MMX-6.

The MMX-6 series come as a complete kit, ready to use, and is backed by 5 year limited warranty.
