This week Advanced Gauging Technologies shipped its first AGT1000 to Santa Clarita, California where a shim technology company processes and distributes various packs, panels and shims used primarily in the aerospace industry. The AGT1000 will be installed on a 30″ conveyor system and will measure material from .003″ to .500″. The O-frame design allows easy, accurate and repeatable results to improve quality control and detect thickness trends immediately. This in part is due to its ability to provide detailed 3D graphing of each material being measured by the gauge.

This week Advanced Gauging Technologies completed a startup for a new AGT800. The gauge was installed on a Chicago Rolling Mill that is capable of processing 18″ wide material with a thickness range of .020″ to .250″. The AGT800 will be replacing an obsolete Pratt & Whitney contact gauge to ensure strict tolerance specifications can be maintained as well as improving ease of use and serviceability. This plant produces a variety of products including: cold rolled strip, hot rolled strip, sheet products, coated sheet and strip and high strength low alloy sheet and strip. This is their third AGT800 Laser gauge purchase.
