Global Gauge Corporation modernizes legacy thickness, width, and profile systems with current Perfecta and Accura platforms. We preserve existing C-frame geometry, cable routing, and mill-side HMIs where feasible, replacing only what is obsolete. Typical upgrade cycles complete during a single planned outage of 36 to 72 hours.
PLC, I/O, and HMI replaced with currently-supported platforms. 20-year parts availability guaranteed in writing.
We reuse existing frames, water cooling, and air purge lines in most projects. Foundation changes are rare.
HMI screens re-skinned to match existing mill Level-2 conventions so operators retain muscle memory on day one.
All drawings, I/O lists, and maintenance procedures delivered as a current-revision package.
Two-day on-site audit: electrical, mechanical, radiation, network. Gap report issued within 10 business days.
Fixed-price proposal with phased options. Typical quote turn-around is 3 weeks from assessment.
General arrangement, schematics, P&ID, and PLC logic reviewed with your team before fabrication.
Complete systems built and factory-accepted in Dayton, Ohio. Customer witness testing optional.
Dayton engineer on-site throughout outage. Calibration certificates issued before mill restart.
30-day and 90-day performance reviews. Tuning adjustments made against actual production data.
| PACKAGE | SCOPE | OUTAGE | BEST SUITED FOR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head-end only | Source/detector, shutter, C-frame electronics | 36 hr | Systems with modern PLCs already in place |
| Platform upgrade | Head-end + PLC + HMI + network | 48–60 hr | Mid-life systems needing controls refresh |
| Full modernization | Above + frame inspection, cable replacement, re-certification | 60–72 hr | Systems 20+ years old or with known wear |
No. We rebuild your existing screens on the new platform and match colors, alarm hierarchy, and screen navigation exactly.
For isotope-to-X-ray migrations, yes. We coordinate with the NRC or your Agreement State and typically secure licensing in 90 to 120 days.
16 to 22 weeks from signed PO to site mobilization, depending on scope and long-lead components.
Yes. Many customers phase head-end and controls work across two outages to spread capital and risk.
Two days on-site, gap report in 10 business days, fixed-price quote in three weeks. Engineering team available now for January mobilization.
