The PVX - Ultrasonic Precision A-Scan Gauges

The PVX includes these features:

  • Adjustable square wave pulser provides the flexibility necessary for both high resolution and penetration requirements.
  • Selectable viewing options provide the user with additional flexibility during operation: (RF waveform, +/-Rectified waveform, and Large Digits with Scan Bar.
  • Time based B-Scan feature displays a cross section of the test material. Displays the profile of the opposite surface of the material.
  • Adjustable resolution settings add to the PVX's flexibilty.
  • Ability to use a variety of single element transducers for specific applications: Standard Delay Line (acrylic and graphite tips for metals and thin plastics), Pencil Delay Line (tough access areas on thin materials), and Contact transducers (variety of applications).
  • Hardware AGC gain control for multiple echo and thru-paint measurement.
  • Multiple calibration options: One-Point, Two-Point, or selection from a Material List.
  • 16 factory setups and 48 user-defined setups. User-defined setups can be edited for custom applications.
  • PVX is equipped with an alpha-numeric data logger to provide increased versatility for those custom reporting needs.
  • The High Speed Scan feature speeds up the inspection process by taking 32 measurements per second. Remove transducer from the test material and display the minimum measurement scanned.
  • Visual and audible alarm with Hi and Lo limit settings for specific application tolerances.
  • Auto Find feature locates thedetection point(s) and adjusts the display settings to bring the waveform into view.
  • PVX comes complete with our Windows® PC software for transferring data to and from a PC.
  • 2 year limited warranty.
