The MX-2 is ideal for the person that tests a few different materials regularly. The MX-2 contains 8 velocities of common materials and two velocities that the user can set using a simple sofware program.

The tool's backlit display is easy to read, even in dim light, and the unit operates for up to 200 hours on a single set of batteries.

The MX-2 comes complete, ready to use, and is protected by Dakota Ultrasonics 5 year limited warranty.

Velocity Settings

The MX-2 has 8 set velocities and 2 that are custom to the user's applications. The set velocities are as follows:

  • 1. Steel4340-(.233)
  • 2. Stainless Steel 303-( .223 )
  • 3. Aluminum 2024 - ( .251 )
  • 4. Cast Iron-(.179 )
