To compliment our ultrasonic thickness gages we offer a range of ultrasonic transducers. The performance of any ultrasonic thickness gage relies heavily on the transducer and its suitability to the material being measured. Therefore, selecting the right transducer is vital. All Cygnus SINGLE CRYSTAL transducers are made from stainless steel and include replaceable membranes for long life, requiring no zeroing and have a high linear accuracy.

Thank you Cygnus. You have been awesome in your support on ALL our inspections for over 20 years. 60 machines including our first machine bought 20 years ago (Cygnus 4, Sr. No 300), are all still in operation. That is a testament to Cygnus’ quality engineering and electronics.
