 Welcome
to the Dakota Ultrasonics website!
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!

The CMX Multi-Purpose Material & Coating Thickness
Gauge- Officially Released!
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
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!

Let's meet some new members of Team Dakota!
Stephaine Brewton
Stephaine has recently joined our team in the
admin department. Her first assignment
was labeled "operation bank deposit", code word:
safensound. Step 1: change into her disguise;
she chose a beige camouflage
outfit with chainmail, nonetheless.
Step 2: She needed a new name. You guessed
it, she went with Rambette! Soon to be changed, as
you'll read on. Traffic was very lite that day, but she
opted to set out on foot, in the intensity of it all.
With only 6 minutes left before the bank closed, she pulled
out her OJ Simpson Hertz Rental Car maneuver.
She scrambled through a creek bed, scaled 3 buildings,
dodged 6 cars, and just 20 yards to the bank
door, was intercepted by a street curb, breaking
her foot. Well, as the
story ends up, she never made it to the bank
that day, and 7 checks bounced. But what she
did end up with, was a shiny new cast, a set of crutches, and
the new name "Peggy"!
Step 3: Welcome aboard "Peggy"!

Hang Phan |
Hang has recently joined our sales team.
She's a recent graduate of our local hippie
university, UCSC. Her studies included Economics
as a major and probably something like horticulture
as a minor, no doubt! Once we were successful
convincing her to change her clothing attire
from
"full on tie dye" to conventional patterns, we set
out to analyze the correlation between Ms
Pacman vs Hang.
It's clear she's is winning the game at the moment,
as we've only had momentary glimpses of her, as she
blasts around the place, disappearing behind the walls
in a moments notice. The rest of the Dakota staff
have teamed up and taken on additional outside exercise
programs in order to stay in the game.
The good news is, she's setting all new pace records for order
processing with precision. The bad news is the rest
of us are going to bed a couple hours earlier every night.
Nice ta have you onboard!
