As the Industry Grows, So Grows A.G.T.

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.?

Celebrating Over 20 Years of Service with One of our First Gauges!

At Advanced Gauging Technologies we pride ourselves on the quality of workmanship that is put into our wide variety of products. Everything is built and manufactured right here in the USA and we intend to keep it that way.

In December 1998, our co-founder and president Scott Cook completed the startup of one of the first AGT400’s for Hanna Steel Corporation in Fairfield, Alabama. More than 20 years later this gauge is still fully operational and providing the same precise non-contact thickness measurement as the day it was installed.

A.G.T. still provides regular service at this location and we take great pride in knowing one of our very first gauges is still performing as designed after two plus decades of faithful service.

Second AGT800 Pipe & Pole Startup at McWane Ductile

Advanced Gauging Technologies has just completed the startup of a new AGT800 Pipe and Pole System at McWane Ductile in Coshocton, Ohio. They produce cast iron pipe and poles up to 16 feet long and this is the second system they have purchased in the last two years. This is a unique application that uses two opposing C-frames to oscillate in and out opposite sides of the pipe being inspected.

Our system, installed after the pipe and pole cast line, 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.

A.G.T. Attends Fabtech Atlanta!

This week Advanced Gauging Technologies attended Fabtech in Atlanta, Georgia. This is the largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event in North America and was held at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Members of our sales and marketing teams went to see all the latest and greatest the industry has to offer as well as connect with our customers that were in attendance to show our support. We also had the opportunity to speak with many of the companies we serve to see what problems they were facing and what struggles they were trying to overcome. We want to continue to serve our customers even after the sale, and by learning more about them we can better understand their needs. We always think meeting face to face is the best way to connect and it was a pleasure speaking with so many companies at the show.
