Cygnus 2 Hands Free Multiple-Echo Ul Thickness Gauge

Brochure consult


The Cygnus 2 is a simple to use, through coating thickness gauge with a rotatable end-mounted display making it ideally suited for climbing and rope access.

The twin shot injection moulded enclosure has a soft but durable TPE outer skin which is comfortable to hold and protects against bumps while the hard internal shell offers maximum strength and environmental protection certified to the demanding US MIL STD 810G standard.

Perfect for use on flat plate, curved surfaces or pipes our Multiple-Echo single crystal probe technology means you can measure through thick coatings and only the remaining metal thickness is displayed.







Features

  • Multiple-Echo for reliable, accurate through coating measurements as specified by Classification Societies
  • Hands free operation: wrist, waist belt and harness mountable
  • OLED multi-functional rotatable display for all lighting conditions
  • Extremely rugged enclosure - shock and impact to US MIL STD 810G
  • Environmental sealing to IP67 - US MIL STD 810G
  • Cygnus echo strength bars to assist quick measurements
  • Buttons integral with the TPE moulding and designed for min 100,000 depressions.

Cygnus Probes and Cables

Cygnus Stainless Steel INOX Probes (Single Crystal Probes)

The INOX probes have an updated ergonomic design with easy to read frequency, identification and serial number. All frequencies of INOX probes have a black face and a colour coding system to identify probe frequencies and a replaceable wear membrane for long life.

Cygnus Cables

Using standard industry connectors the probe lead uses a custom made over moulded cable that offers superior flexibility and resistance to oils and ultraviolet light. The cable will not stiffen after exposure to ultraviolet light.

Flexible Handling

Along with the wrist and neck straps supplied in the kit there is also an optional belt clip, offering a range of flexible handling solutions for all types of applications.
