PR-8V

The time-based B-Scan feature of the PR-8V displays a cross section of the opposite surface, allowing engine builders the ability to see the contour of the back surface in cylinders while scanning.

Use the Multi-Mode (Echo-Echo mode) feature to measure chassis tubing with or without paint and coatings. Built-in automatic gain control and selectable low, medium, and high gain settings offer the inspector the additional punch power for materials that are hard to penetrate. The variety of calibration options is just one more example of the PR-8V’s versatility. Store up to 64 custom setups. Factory setups available for common applications.

The internal Data Logger of the PR-8V has been customized for both the engine builder and the chassis inspector. Selectable cylinder mapping or general alpha numeric file storage, and used in conjunction with our DakView java-based PC & MAC OSX software will satisfy your reporting need
