TI-CMX Series Ultrasonic Coating and Wall Thickness Gauges
The TI-CMX Series ultrasonic coating and wall thickness gauges from Checkline are designed to deliver fast, accurate measurements from a single side—ideal for applications involving painted or coated surfaces and more difficult-to-measure materials. With four available models, the TI-CMX Series offers flexibility across different levels of inspection complexity and user needs.
Whether you're conducting basic coating checks or advanced inspections with waveform visualisation, the TI-CMX Series includes a version to suit your requirements: TI-CMX, TI-CMXDL, TI-CMXDLP and TI-CMXDLP-C.
Key Features (varies by model):
- Four Model Options: Choose from digits display , data logging, A-scan interface or full-colour A-Scan interface.
- Comprehensive Measurement Modes: Includes Pulse-Echo (P-E), Echo-Echo (E-E), Pulse-Echo + Coating (P-E+CT), Coating Only (CT) and temperature-compensated Pulse-Echo (PETP).
- Echo-Echo-Verify (E-EV): Enhances accuracy with additional echo validation—available on DLP and DLP-C models.
- Waveform Visualisation: The TI-CMXDLP and TI-CMXDLP-C feature an A-Scan display for real-time echo signal analysis in demanding applications.
- Data Output and Storage: USB connectivity and memory included on all models except the base TI-CMX version.
Key Benefits:
- Adaptable to Any Inspection Task: Accurately measures coating and wall thickness together or separately, even under varying conditions.
- Intuitive User Interface: All models feature clear menus and fast setup, making them easy to operate in the field or lab.
- Robust and Reliable: Built with a durable aluminium housing to withstand harsh industrial environments.
- Future-Proof Technology: The TI-CMX Series offers a scalable platform, from entry-level inspection to advanced waveform-based verification.
The TI-CMX Series combines advanced ultrasonic technology with ergonomic design and display flexibility, making it an excellent solution for coating thickness and corrosion monitoring professionals seeking accuracy, adaptability and ease of use in a single instrument.

| Scan Mode measures 64 times per second, displaying the max and min reading measured during the scan interval. Sample rate is 200/sec when coating measurement is off. | The B-Scan displays a time based cross section view of test material of the contour of the blind, or underside of a pipe or tank application. In this display the coating can be measured as a separate identified layer with its own velocity. | RF A-Scan Display – The actual sound wave reflection that is returned from the detection of the opposite surface of the material being measured. In this view, the entire sine wave is displayed, | RECT A-Scan Display – In this view, only half of the sine wave is being displayed (positive or negative). | RECT A-Scan Display – In this view, with the menu off. The scan view is now showing the coating and wall thickness as separate layers using their own velocities. |
