Concord Steel Centre Ltd. (Woodbridge, ON) will receive an AGT800 Laser Thickness Gauge for use on a 60” Pro-Eco slitting line. This thickness gauge will replace an obsolete Weston 5310 isotope thickness gauge which will be decertified in Canada January 2017. This revolutionary laser gauge will measure steel up to .270”. Installation is scheduled for November.
Measuring System For Pole and Pipe Wall Thickness Ships
Two measuring systems which will work in sync with one another and measure the wall thickness of pipe/pole has been shipped to Coshocton, Ohio. McWane Ductile purchased this revolutionary new laser measuring equipment in order to raise quality standards in the industry. Commissioning of the gauges will happen later this month.
Universal Buys Gauge
The Universal Steel Company of Cleveland, Ohio has purchased an AGT400 isotope thickness gauge, which will replace their outdated Loral 3500. The gauge will measure steel and be installed on their 72” slitting line.
A.G.T. Visits IMTS Show in Chicago
Steve Venters and Derrick Baker recently visited the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) at McCormick Center in Chicago. The purpose of the visit was threefold:
1) See firsthand the new technologies and innovative manufacturing solutions being offered by show exhibitors; 2) Connect with current and possible new vendors; and 3) Investigate joint opportunities with show attendees.
During our visit we were able to observe everything from robotics to process automation, new ERP software to 3-D printing, precision laser cutting to material handling systems. It is always fascinating to see the advances being made in manufacturing technology from year to year and the 2016 IMTS show was no exception.
Thomas Steel Strip Orders New Gauge
Thomas Steel Strip Corporation, Warren, OH, has ordered a new AGT400 thickness gauge to replace an obsolete LFE gauge on a temper mill. This gauge will be used to process low carbon steels, HSLA steel, along with copper, brass, nickel and nickel-zinc alloys with a thickness range of .008 to .079”. Thomas plans to take advantage of the AGT400’s networking capabilities along with the options for automated data entry and automated data gathering. Shipment is scheduled for late October 2016.
