Phoenix Metals has completed the startup of their AGT400 Isotope Thickness Gauge. The gauge was installed onto their 72″ Red Bud CTL line, where it will process aluminum, stainless steel, HRPO, and various coated carbon products.

Phoenix also has purchased our TCP/IP HMI Communication and Offline Data Analysis software packages. Our TCP/IP Communication capabilities help greatly improve productivity by allowing our AGT400 to receive commands and inputs directly from an upper-level PLC. Our Offline Data Analysis software also allows for data to be pulled and analyzed without interrupting production. With these options, Phoenix has entirely invested in productivity and efficiency, helping our gauge seamlessly and effectively integrate into their existing framework.

Mill Steel has purchased two AGT400 Isotope Thickness Gauges for their reducing mill in Birmingham, Alabama. These gauges will be installed at the entry and exit sides of their new 18″ Ruesch reduction mill. Our AGT400s will provide documentation and detailed coil reports for Mill Steel’s plantwide network while providing industry-leading accuracy and reliability.

This will be Mill Steel’s third and fourth purchases within a span of three months, following their recent upgrading of two obsolete gauges in Melvindale using our AGT400 Upgrade service. Following these four purchases, Mill Steel will be enjoying easy-to-use automated thickness measurement on many of their processing lines.

Mill Steel has received two AGT400 Upgrade packages from Advanced Gauging Technologies. This is the next step in replacing their current obsolete isotope gauges. By re-using their current C-frames and hardware, Mill Steel is saving on costs while enjoying the benefits of a greatly improved thickness gauge.

Obsolete gauges are often more trouble to remove than they are worth. Here at A.G.T., we work to ensure that gauges don’t go to waste. Where removing a gauge, doing the paperwork to ship its source off, and replacing the gauge can be extremely costly and time-consuming, we’ve worked to make our AGT400 Upgrade service a quick, cost-effective solution to solve both problems at the same time! If you have an obsolete isotope gauge that could use an upgrade, you can find our Upgrade service explained in detail here.

Advanced Gauging Technologies has received an order from PATEC Co., Ltd., providing two AGT400 front ends for their current project with Wonilsa Co., Ltd.

Our AGT400 front ends will be used on a Hitachi four-high rolling mill to measure brass, bronze, and copper. With our AGT400 parts installed, Wonilsa Co. will be sure that they are receiving the most accurate measurements possible to ensure they are providing the most accurate thickness measurement possible to further improve the quality and efficiency of their line.

Advanced Gauging Technologies has worked extensively with South Korea in the past, providing AGT400 Thickness Gauges to KSP Steel Company. We are always excited to look internationally and provide service centers around the world with our industry-leading gauges. We also look forward to working on additional future projects with PATEC, and continuing to provide our gauges for facilities in Korea.
