Dakota CMX10-DL Features Explained

Dakota CMX10-DL Time Corrected Gain (TCG) technology improving ultrasonic flaw detection and backwall echo monitoring for corrosion inspection, composite inspection, and industrial NDT applications.

Time Corrected Gain (TCG) Improve possibility of detection

Time Corrected Gain (TCG) and filtering lets you lift later echoes without saturating the near surface. That is useful on rough or heavily corroded backwalls where the important echoes are weak and buried in noise.
Backwall Echo Attenuation (BEA) – enables on screen monitoring of backwall signal amplitude. A drop in backwall amplitude indicates an issue, useful in composite inspections and many other materials.

Dakota CMX10-DL second layer inspection and cladding measurement technology for accurate remaining wall thickness assessment in industrial ultrasonic NDT applications.

Second Layer Inspection Less intrusive inspection better remaining life assessment

The second layer/cladding measurement feature is about seeing the true condition of the base metal and liner separately.

The gauge interprets multiple echoes so it can distinguish the outer wall from the inner liner or cladding layer beneath. In practice, that means you can get one reading for total wall and another that represents the remaining thickness of the inner liner, or outer liner, even when it is behind a coating or outer shell.

Dakota CMX10-DL crack prove-up capability with high-resolution ultrasonic inspection for accurate crack detection, pit detection, and critical flaw confirmation in industrial NDT applications.

Crack Prove-Up Capability Fast confirmation of critical flaw

High-resolution, accurate crack prove-up capability for fast confirmation of critical flaws, even in complex geometries.

The Dakota CMX10-DL Thickness Gauge increases the probability of detection of hard to detect pits and cracks using traditional angle transducer inspection methods, to supporting confident fitness-for-service decisions.

Dakota CMX10-DL Image Collect feature with CAD model and guided inspection location support for advanced ultrasonic thickness inspection and NDT data collection.

Image Collect For guided inspection locations

Upload a custom photo or CAD model of the part via DakMaster™ and then tap on that image to drive the next measurement location directly on the gauge itself.

Dakota CMX10-DL internal defect inspection with B-Scan imaging and point-to-point depth measurement for composite material and industrial ultrasonic NDT applications.

Internal Defect With point-to-point measurement

B-Scan supports additional identification of defects in a composite layer beyond that of a traditional A- Scan gauge.
Cursors for point to point measurement provide accurate depth measurement.

Dakota CMX10-DL overlay comparison feature for waveform signal analysis, structural change detection, and advanced ultrasonic NDT inspection applications.

Overlay Comparison Identify differences in waveforms

The Dakota CMX10-DL ultrasonic thickness gauge can help identify differences in waveform signal patterns to indicate changes in structure or areas of concern.
