Transducer: GAO Tek transducer is a critical component that generates and receives ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves, depending on the type of thickness gauge. It is responsible for sending a signal through the material and receiving the reflected signal.

Display Unit: GAO’s display unit provides a visual representation of the measured thickness. It can be an LCD screen, LED display, or another type of visual interface.

Control Panel: Our control panel consists of buttons, switches, or a touchscreen interface that allows the user to configure settings, select measurement modes, and operate the device.

Microcontroller/Processor: GAO’s microcontroller or processor is the brain of the gauge. It processes signals from the transducer, manages data, and controls the overall operation of the device.

Memory: GAO Tek memory is used to store calibration data, measurement results, and any other relevant information. This can be in the form of EEPROM or other non-volatile memory.

Power Supply: Depending on the design, our structural thickness gauges can be powered by batteries, rechargeable batteries, or an external power source. The power supply is crucial for the device’s portability and usability.

Communication Port: Some of our gauges include communication ports such as USB, Bluetooth, or RS-232 for data transfer to external devices like computers or printers.

Software: Our software is often embedded in the microcontroller and is responsible for signal processing, data analysis, and calibration. Some devices may have additional software that can be installed on a computer for more in-depth analysis and reporting.

Calibration Block: GAO’s calibration block is a reference standard with a known thickness used to calibrate the gauge and ensure accurate measurements.

Housing/Enclosure: Our housing or enclosure protects the internal components from environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and mechanical damage. It is typically designed to be rugged for use in industrial environments.

Probe or Sensor Holder: Our component holds the transducer or probe in place and ensures consistent contact with the material being measured.

Mechanical Components: Depending on the design, our additional mechanical components such as a spring mechanism for consistent probe contact, a scanning mechanism for automated measurements, or a focusing mechanism for precise measurements.
