Tarkett Orders First Two AGT800’s
Tarkett (Florence) has ordered two AGT800 laser thickness measurement gauges for their 60-inch tile line that processes material with thickness range of .012 up to .160. These systems were specifically designed to automate their calendaring and embossing processes.
Samuel Adds Laser Gauge
Samuel, Son & Co. – Columbia, Tennessee is the home of a new AGT800 laser thickness gauge. This gauge is installed on an 84” Alcos slitter and will measure thickness of steel up to .160.” This is Samuel’s sixth A.G.T. thickness gauge.
Measuring Aluminum Coils
Isotope thickness gauges are actually transmission gauges. This means they transmit radiation through the material to be measured. Physics blessed us with an isotope (Am241) that emits constant gamma radiation at an energy level (60 keV) ideal for measuring steel. Thin steel blocks a little of the radiation, and thicker steel blocks most of it. […]
Happy Holidays From Your Friends At A.G.T.!
