We recently completed another successful startup of an AGT400 thickness gauge, this time at Almetals, Inc.  This new gauge, which is actually an upgrade of an obsolete DMC 410, is used installed on a 36” Ruesch slitter at Almetals’ Wixom, MI facility.

A new AGT800 laser gauge has been commissioned at Lane Steel in McKees Rocks, PA.  Startup was completed earlier this month in conjunction with the installation and startup of a new Braner/Loopco 74” Slitter.  This AGT800 will be used to measure HR, CR, HRPO and coated steel with a thickness range of .015” to .250”.

A new AGT400 isotope gauge has been shipped to Almetals, Inc. in Wixom, MI.  This gauge will be used to upgrade an obsolete DMC 410 located on their 36” Ruesch slitter.  Benefits of an AGT400 upgrade include all new electronics, A.G.T.’s proprietary software and programming, and state of the art coil and S.P.C. reports along with advanced networking capabilities.

Feroleto Steel in Bridgeport, CT has commissioned their first AGT800 Laser Thickness Gauge.  It is located on a 62” Loopco Slitter and will be used to measure various steel alloys with a thickness range of .008” to .250”.  This is the first of two AGT800’s purchased by Feroleto in 2015.  The second system has shipped to their Weirton, WV facility and is scheduled to be commissioned in February.

Nova Steel (Stoney Creek, Ontario), has commissioned their second AGT800 laser thickness gauge this year.  A.G.T. completed the startup and training of the new gauge, located on a 74″ Pro Eco pickle line, the week of December 7th.  Nova’s first AGT800, commissioned in February 2015, is currently used on a 60″ Pro Eco slitter.
