Owner And President Earns Gold

Even at age 50, A.G.T.’s owner and president, Scott Cook, is a practicing martial artist. He undergoes intense training sessions 12 hours every week and often makes appearances in the office with black eyes.

Scott has always had a passion for different styles of martial arts, and over the years, he has earned black belts in American Taekwondo and Korean Taekwondo, a brown belt in Korean Hapkido and a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Scott competes in various BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) tournaments throughout North America. Most recently, Scott was awarded a top finish, bringing back the gold from Las Vegas’ International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation Championships where he entered the open weight or absolute division. Though he was the smallest entrant at 187 pounds, he took first place in the Masters 5 blue belt division.

Scott shares his enthusiasm for physical fitness with all our employees by offering an on-site health and wellness program.

AGT800 Gains Popularity with Service Centers

Our most popular gauging system this year, hands down, is the AGT800 Laser Thickness Gauge. Introduced late in 2013, this unique optical based gauge uses state-of-the-art Keyence laser sensors which are mounted on a C-frame above and below the strip to be measured. Each sensor emits a class ll laser beam and receives the beam back on a RS-CMOS pixel array. The gauge determines the distance to the target material and precise material thickness is then calculated. Please contact our Sales Department for additional information or to schedule a visit to operate this gauge first-hand.
