Our AGT800XT Laser Thickness Gauge offers many benefits compared to competing gauges; primarily, having a laser-based gauge helps to avoid the paperwork and costs of isotope gauges.

However, what sets our laser gauges apart from competing gauges most of all is their expansive measurement capabilities. Isotope gauges are largely restricted to metal applications, due to the method of measurement. Our laser gauges, however, are capable of measuring plastics, paper, rubber composites, PVC, and various other materials, on top of being able to measure each metal that the AGT400 can. Our AGT800XT can measure material on extruders, measure emboss depth, and the gauge’s advanced software, developed in-house, is able to create printable graphs and reports for each finished job.

Where the AGT400 has restraints in thickness that result in a maximum thickness of ~0.400″, the AGT800XT is able to reliably measure material with a thickness of up to an inch, while remaining accurate down to 0.003″. Our laser gauges have been able to help many applications and centers that operate outside of the steel service industry, and has become one of our most reliable, high-tech, accurate products. For a large variety of applications where an isotope gauge just won’t cut it, our AGT800XT is the best-in-industry solution!

Darke Metals has received its AGT800XT, which was purchased this January. Their gauge will be installed on a 75″ slitting line to measure various steel alloys during processing.

This gauge’s frame is capable of oscillation, which allows for the frame to scan the material’s entire width, ensuring further quality control of the entire coil. Additionally, our thickness gauges all come prepared with SPC reporting and auto data collection, sending key information through a level 2 network to be printed out and analyzed. Alongside these benefits, our AGT800XT Laser Thickness Gauge does not require special licensure or inspection the way that an isotope or X-ray gauge does. This helps Darke Metals quickly install and prepare their gauge for use without worry. That’s Measuring Made Easy.

Phoenix Metals has received its AGT400 Isotope Thickness Gauge and is preparing for upcoming installation. This gauge will see use on a 72″ Red Bud CTL line.

This gauge is utilizing an oscillating C-Frame in order to scan the full width of the material, ensuring further accuracy in its measurements. This way, Phoenix Metals will be fully confident in the gauge’s measurements, increasing output and productivity.

It’s no secret that revenue has been inconsistent for many steel processing companies this year. For many cases, that may mean cutting down on spending and focusing on production, or pushing projects further into the future to maintain profits. Thankfully, at Advanced Gauging Technologies, we’ve been working for decades to provide cost-effective solutions for customers with existing obsolete Isotope Gauges.

Many companies may still have gauges whose manufacturers have ended service for their products years ago, or have gone out of business themselves entirely. Instead of going through the time and money of decommissioning one gauge and purchasing an entire brand-new gauge, AGT offers our AGT400 Upgrade service. For a substantially discounted price, our technicians will replace outdated parts to convert the obsolete gauge into an AGT400 Isotope Thickness Gauge, complete with our SPC reporting services. You can find more about the Thickness Upgrade Service here and more about our AGT400 Isotope Thickness Gauge here. At AGT, we work to offer the greatest return on investment while providing high-quality, durable, and reliable solutions.

Liberty Steel has recently purchased a 72″ ProEco slitter from Worthington Industries with one of our AGT400 gauges included. Liberty Steel has purchased a replacement source for the AGT400 Isotope Gauge, and will be installing it between March and April of next year.

Due to the durability and long lifespan of our AGT400 Isotope Thickness Gauge, buying our used gauges is a cost-effective, low-risk solution for companies interested in our gauges. The AGT400 has spent decades building its reputation as the most dependable thickness gauge in the industry. On top of the discounted price of a used gauge, companies like Liberty Steel Products will enjoy lifetime service from our own AGT technicians. With both a dependable gauge and reliable service, buying used is another way to keep your facility efficient and speedy.
