NOVA 900 SERIES

The Nova 900 Series Precision Ultrasonic Thickness Gages represent the latest release and a dramatic advancement in portable ultrasonic thickness gages. A proprietary monolithic integrated circuit chip and a highly advanced microcomputerized design have permitted the achievement of performance levels considered only conceptual, The outgrowth of this technology has been the development of 3 portable models an 2 Benchtop in the Nova 900 Series. These ruggedized, highly stable models have been carefully designed to offer a choice of features to best suit the application level, gaging environment and user preference.

All five models provide the identical base gaging performance, with variations in options and the supporting features. The Nova 910 and 950 incorporate a backlit LCD menu display AND a bright LED numeric display which improves view ability at a distance. The 910 is a  basic gage emphasizing operational simplicity for the more straightforward, less demanding applications. 

The Nova 950  offer a wide variety of supporting features including 50,000 point Data Logger, User setup parameters can be modified and stored, High/Low alarms, Industry First Scan Bar, Scrolling 'B' Scan  and more.

Applications & Transducers -

There are a broad array of Nova AutoSet transducers available for the Nova 900 Series. Rather than offer many thickness gages dedicated to various applications, the transducer actually sets a single gage to optimize for a given application. Transducers available include contact, delay line, bubbler, immersion as well as the ability to custom configure a probe to an application and assign it an AutoSet "channel"

Just a few of the applications supported include:
Chemical Milling, investment castings such as turbine blades for aerospace or power generation, wax castings, steel, aluminum, plastics, composite materials, fiberglass, rubber, cast parts and more...
