ダコタ・ジャパン Company Overview

Dakota Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Saitama City, CEO: Yoshitomo Fukazawa), which specializes in the sale of various testing equipment such as ultrasonic testing devices and hardness testers, will begin selling its new portable Rockwell hardness tester, 'TKX LIGHT', starting June 25. The 'TKX LIGHT' is a portable hardness tester that allows for easy and high-precision measurement of the hardness of metallic materials. It adopts the principle of the Rockwell hardness test and boasts excellent reproducibility of ±0.4 HRC, achieving stable hardness measurements. It is suitable for high-precision hardness measurements in both field and laboratory settings. The testing subjects range from non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze to a wide variety of metallic materials and surface treatments, including hard and soft steel, hardened steel, nitrided products, carburized products, and chrome-plated surfaces. Measurement data can be stored up to 3,500 entries, and it supports tolerance setting, statistical data management such as maximum, minimum, and average values, as well as external output of measurement values via RS-232. Additionally, the minimum measurement thickness is 0.08mm (for 65 HRC), making it suitable for hardness measurement of thin plates and surface treatment layers.

Dakota Japan Co., Ltd., which specializes in the sale of ultrasonic testing equipment such as ultrasonic thickness gauges, flaw detectors, and axial force gauges, will begin selling its new product, the A-scan ultrasonic thickness gauge 'CMX10-DL', starting June 15. The 'CMX10-DL' is a versatile A-scan ultrasonic thickness gauge that caters to a wide range of applications, from corrosion inspection to high-precision thickness measurement. It supports the measurement of remaining wall thickness in tanks and pipes, substrate thickness measurement over coatings, as well as measurements of lining materials, composite materials, and clad materials, and is capable of precision thickness measurements requiring a resolution of 0.001mm. The CMX10-DL not only saves echo waveforms and measurement values but also supports echo recording for up to 10 seconds. This allows for the recording of momentary thickness changes or waveform changes during measurement, thereby streamlining the verification of inspection results and report generation. Additionally, with TCG (Time Corrected Gain), BEA (Bottom Echo Monitoring), and B-scope (B-scan), it supports reliable measurements even for challenging subjects such as composite materials, clad materials, and localized corrosion, where waveform judgment is difficult.

Dakota Japan Co., Ltd. will begin sales of its new rebound hardness testers, 'Leeb Lite' and 'Lab Leeb', starting May 20. ◆ Overview of the Rebound Hardness Testers 'Leeb Lite' and 'Lab Leeb' 'Leeb Lite' and 'Lab Leeb' are rebound hardness testers suitable for measuring the hardness of metallic materials with a mass of over 5kg and a thickness of over 25mm. They are lightweight, compact, and easy to operate, making them user-friendly for those conducting hardness measurements for the first time, and they provide stable measurements in the field. Additionally, the 'Lab Leeb' supports Bluetooth communication, allowing it to connect to smartphones and tablets. With the dedicated app 'NOVOTEST Lab', users can view measurement values on a large screen and easily share data such as reports, photos, and videos. ◆ Features - No need for extensive training. It minimizes variability from the operator, allowing for stable measurements. - Automatically corrects errors by inputting the impact (measurement) direction. Supports five directions: 0/45/90/135/180 degrees. - Weighing approximately 80g and featuring a simple menu, it allows easy hardness measurement even for women and the elderly.
