A.G.T. has received an order from Steel Technologies de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (Pesqueria, N.L.)  for a new AGT400 Thickness Gauge. This system will be installed on a new Andritz Herr-Voss 74” Multi-Blanking Line and will process various steel alloys with a thickness range of .010” to .150”.

This will be Steel Technologies 32^nd Advanced Gauging thickness gauge overall and the third AGT400 for the Pesqueria facility.

John Fearing, our Senior Field Technician, has completed the startup of an AGT400 at Grand Steel Products located in Wixom, MI.  This gauge, located on a 72” Loopco Slitter, will be used to measure various steel alloys with a thickness range of .010 to .195”.  It is Grand Steel’s first AGT400.

Worthington Armstrong Venture (WAVE) has placed an order for our recently introduced AGT600 Compact “Plug & Play” Laser Thickness Gauge.  This new gauge will be shipping to WAVE’s facility in North Las Vegas, NV.  It will be located on a Hot Dipped Galvanized Coating line and will measure structural steel with a thickness range of .009” to .030”.

The AGT600 provides continuous real-time thickness measurement using high performance Keyence laser sensors.  It’s rugged design and small footprint make it a perfect fit for narrow width processing applications where space is limited.  It is material insensitive and can measure any material produced in strip, coil or sheet form up to .250” thick.
