AGT800 Laser Thickness Gauge Makes Its Debut
Our first production model AGT800 Laser Thickness Gauge was commissioned in January and is now in operation. It was installed on a new 96” Butech Stretch Level / CTL line at Jemison Metals’ new plant in Trinity, AL.
This revolutionary new gauge utilizes advanced laser triangulation technology and is capable of measuring almost any material in coil, sheet or strip form. There is no radioactive source and are no federal or state licensing requirements. Although the AGT800 is designed to measure primarily heavier gauge materials (.040” to .750”), there are optional sensors available to measure thinner gauge products as well.
Since introducing the AGT800 last fall, we have received a large number of requests for information and quotes along with several new orders. There is obviously a high level of interest in this new technology which offers an affordable and dependable option to traditional isotope and expensive and/or unreliable x-ray gauges. Please contact us to learn more details and to request a quote or proposal.
