Thickness & width measurement gauges
Advanced Gauging Technologies has just shipped a new AGT800 Laser Thickness Gauge to Steel Technologies in Ghent, Kentucky. This system will be used on a 72″ Braner slitting line to measure aluminum and various other steel alloys form .025″ to .250″. Steel Technologies currently operates more than 30 of our AGT400 Gauges nationwide and this will be their second AGT800 gauge purchase.
Last week Advanced Gauging Technologies exhibited at AISTech 2019, Steel’s Premier Technology Event. This year the show took place in the David L Lawrence Convention Center in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is the world’s largest annual steel conference and exposition, and A.G.T. had its own booth to showcase the incredible capabilities of our gauges. We met with many of our current customers as well as many prospective ones looking to use our gauges in a variety of applications. A.G.T. provides the most reliable, cost effective and accurate thickness and width measurement to solve almost any gauging need so we are ready to provide the solutions for your business. We are excited to work with these new customers and look forward to growing the relationships we formed at the show!
McWane Ductile in Provo, Utah has just ordered a new AGT800 Pipe and Pole System. This is the third system they have ordered in the last three years. McWane Ductile produces cast iron pipe and poles up to 16 feet long. This is a unique application that uses two opposing C-frames to oscillate in and out of opposite sides of the pipe being inspected. Our system will be installed adjacent to their pipe and pole line and will be used to accurately measure wall thickness. A.G.T. understands no two customers are the same, and because of that we have put a focus on being able to provide custom solutions for applications such as this.
Advanced Gauging Technologies has shipped a new AGT800 to Fulton County Processing in Delta, Ohio. This system will be used on a 72″ Alcos slitting line to measure carbon steel from 0.049 to 0.500″. Fulton County currently operates five A.G.T. gauges they have purchased from us. They are running three AGT400s on various slitting lines and an AGT800 on a Nelson pickle line. The addition of a second AGT800 will continue to ensure they are receiving the most accurate non-contact thickness measurement available.
With a strong economy the steel industry has been working diligently to stay ahead of demand and take advantage of this growth. This has led many of A.G.T.’s customers to be busier than they have been in years. With unemployment rates so low, it can be a challenge finding quality employees to meet this demand. However, there are far worse problems to have than too much business.
Following this growth, A.G.T. has been spearheading research and development for new products that will support this growing industry. Tolerance and accuracy requirements are continuing to become more strict and A.G.T. has the products necessary to help companies meet those requirements. We are growing with the industry and and diversifying our products to meet those growing needs. At A.G.T. we remain at the forefront of innovation and are always looking for new and beneficial ways to better serve our customers. So why wouldn’t you buy your gauge from A.G.T.?
