Multigauge 6000 Drone Thickness Gauge

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Multigauge 6000 Drone Gauge is an advanced ultrasonic thickness measurement tool designed for use with drones. It employs Multiple Echo technology to measure metal substrates while ignoring coatings up to 6 mm thick, with an optional Coating Plus+ feature extending this to 20 mm. Measurements are transmitted wirelessly up to 500 meters to a PC or laptop.
Components: The system includes a Gauge, Gel Dispenser, and Probe Holder, all lightweight to conserve battery power. The Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR) feature ensures optimal performance by automatically adjusting gauge settings to match the probe.
Key Features:
  • Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS) for accurate readings.
  • Wireless transmission capability up to 500 meters.
  • Easy installation on most drones and no zeroing required.
  • Free lifetime calibration and a 3-year warranty.
Applications: Suitable for use in various industries including shipping, bridges, storage tanks, phone masts, silos, lighting columns, offshore platforms, and wind turbines.
Technical Specifications:
  • Sound velocity range: 1000 m/s to 8000 m/s.
  • Resolution: 0.1 mm or 0.05 mm.
  • Accuracy: ± 0.1 mm or ± 0.05 mm.
  • Operating temperature: -10°C to +50°C.
  • Environmental compliance: IP65, RoHS, and WEEE.
Probe Holder: Designed for accurate probe placement with a flexible connecting spring and damping compression spring to prevent damage. It includes carbon tubes to extend the probe beyond drone rotors.
Tritex Gel Dispenser: Facilitates gel application directly to the probe face via wireless control, with a 70 ml reservoir and lightweight design.
Communicator Software: Displays real-time measurements on a PC or laptop and stores data in .txt format for report generation.
Compliance: The Multigauge 6000 complies with British Standard BS EN 15317:2013 for ultrasonic thickness measuring equipment.
Safety and Responsibility: Users must ensure secure attachment of equipment to drones and conduct flights safely with qualified pilots. Tritex NDT is not liable for any damage caused during use.

Drone Probe Holder The Probe Holder has been designed to accurately present the probe onto the surface being measured. The connecting spring allows flexibility in all directions and the cone shaped guard ensures the probe is aligned flat onto the surface. A damping compression spring means the probe cannot be driven onto the surface too hard causing damage. The lightweight construction can be used with most drones. It is supplied with two 250 mm x 16 mm diameter carbon tubes to extend the probe out beyond the drones rotors. A specially designed system allows couplant to be pumped onto the surface...

Multigauge 6000 Drone Thickness Gauge-5

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges rely on good coupling to the surface being measured and the best option for doing this is to use a gel couplant specifically designed for the job. However, up until now, it has always been a challenge to do this when taking measurements by drone because it has to be applied before each measurement. The Tritex Gel Dispenser allows for a small amount of gel to be pumped onto the surface of the probe wirelessly by clicking a button on the Communicator software. It is connected to the Multigauge 6000 Drone gauge which receives the signal from Communicator and in turn sends...
