National Galvanizing AGT400 Upgrade Startup

Advanced Gauging Technologies recently completed the startup of an AGT400 upgrade to replace an outdated GR100 thickness gauge at National Galvanizing in Monroe, Michigan. This gauge is installed on a 60″ Pro-Eco Slitter and will measure material up to .250″ thick. The Monroe plant processes various steel alloys and has the ability to pickle, galvanize, galvanneal, and slit coils all in the same facility. Thanks to this AGT400 isotope thickness gauge upgrade, National Galvanizing can be assured they will receive reliable and accurate thickness measurements.

First AGT1000 Startup

Advanced Gauging Technologies has recently completed the startup of our first AGT1000 in Santa Clarita, California. The gauge is installed on a 30″ conveyor system and will measure material from .003 to .500″ thick. This company processes and distributes various packs, panels and shims used primarily in the aerospace industry, so the O-frame design of the AGT1000 will allow for easy, accurate and repeatable results to improve quality control and detect thickness trends immediately. The AGT1000 design incorporates linear robots to provide detailed 3D graphing of each piece being measured to ensure extremely accurate thickness measurement readings.

A.G.T. Ships New AGT800 to Steel Technologies in Smyrna, TN

This week Advanced Gauging Technologies will be shipping a new AGT800 laser thickness gauge to Steel Technologies in Smyrna, Tennessee. This will be Smyrna’s first AGT800, and Steel Technologies 32nd A.G.T. gauge. It has a custom-built C-frame specifically designed for use on an 84″ Braner Slitter. At this location they will be use their gauge to measure aluminum and various steel alloys with a thickness range of .009″ to .187″ to produce high quality flat-rolled products. Our AGT800 will allow Steel Technologies to continually meet customers strict thickness specifications by providing extremely accurate non-contact thickness measurement.

Steel Technologies – Pesqueria Startup

Steel Technologies in Pesqueria, Nuevo LeÓn, Mexico recently commissioned a new AGT400 isotope thickness gauge. This gauge is installed on a 72″ Braner Multi-Blanking line and will measure the thickness of stainless steel and aluminum with a thickness range of .250″ to .380″. This will be this location’s third A.G.T. non-contact thickness gauge. Steel Technologies now has a total of 32 of our systems in operation throughout North America.

Olympic Steel Orders New AGT800 Laser Thickness Gauge

Advanced Gauging Technologies has received an order for a new AGT800 laser thickness gauge from Olympic Steel’s Detroit, Michigan plant. This system will be used on a 72″ Niagra slitting line where it will measure aluminum from .015″ to .130″ thick for the automotive market. Delivery and installation is scheduled for May of 2018. This is Olympic’s second A.G.T. gauge purchase, the first being an AGT400 isotope gauge in 2000 which is still in operation today.
