Cygnus 2 - Hands Free
Multiple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

The new Cygnus 2 is the smallest, lightest and most durable through coating thickness gauge available. Designed for use in rope access or belt mounted applications where the end-mounted LED display can be easily read whilst taking measurements. The Cygnus 2 is supplied ready to use as a complete kit in a protective carry case.
