Transducer Probe:

  • GAO’s transducer probe is a crucial component responsible for emitting and receiving signals. It is placed in contact with the material or coating being measured.
  • Our probe can be used in different technologies such as ultrasonic, electromagnetic, or eddy current, depending on the application.

Electronic Circuitry:

  • Our signal processing circuitry is used to convert the signals received from the transducer probe into thickness measurements.
  • Our analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are employed to convert analog signals into digital data for processing.
  • Our microcontrollers or microprocessors handle the computation and control various functions of the gauge.

Display Unit:

  • Our display unit, often an LCD (liquid crystal display) or LED (light-emitting diode) screen, provides real-time measurement readings to the user.
  • Our display shows thickness values, measurement units, and other relevant information.

Keypad or Interface:

  • Our user interfaces, such as keypads or touchscreens, allow operators to input settings, calibration data, or other parameters.
  • Some of our gauges also have buttons or switches for basic controls.

Memory Storage:

  • Our storage components, such as internal memory or external memory cards, are used to store measurement data, calibration information, and other relevant details.

Communication Ports:

  • Our USB, Bluetooth, and other communication ports enable data transfer between the gauge and external devices, such as computers, for further analysis or reporting.

Power Supply:

  • Our batteries or external power sources provide the necessary power for the gauge to operate.

Calibration Standards:

  • Some of our gauges may include calibration standards to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.

Enclosure:

  • Our gauges are typically housed in a sturdy and protective enclosure to shield it from environmental conditions and mechanical damage.

Software:

  • Our embedded software controls the functionality of the gauge, including signal processing, calibration algorithms, and user interface interactions.
  • Some of our gauges have firmware update capabilities to enhance performance or add new features.

Mechanical Housing:

  • The mechanical structure of our gauges includes the outer casing and internal components to withstand the environmental conditions of the application.
