Dayton engineers on-site from receiving dock through first good coil.
Every GGC system ships with a named commissioning engineer who has seen the system through Factory Acceptance Testing. On-site work covers mechanical install oversight, electrical termination verification, PLC download, source alignment, ISO/IEC 17025 recalibration, and run-in against production material. We do not leave until the gauge holds against your mill data.
We calibrate against master specimens, then run the gauge against 8 hours of actual production before sign-off.
Calibration certificate references ISO/IEC 17025 and NIST-traceable standards with each individual data point recorded.
Maintenance crew receives 4 hours of at-the-rail training and a commissioning report before the engineer departs.
Commissioning paperwork starts the warranty clock and registers the system for 24/7 support, no separate process.
Receiving plan, crane logistics, safety plan, and tooling list confirmed with site 2 weeks prior.
Under supervision of GGC engineer. Alignment to mill center-line within ±0.5 mm.
I/O point-to-point, network addressing, Level-2 integration tested before energization.
X-ray emitter warm-up or isotope alignment, followed by full-range calibration against master samples.
Extended run against current production. Accuracy and repeatability logged.
Commissioning report, operator training, and maintenance handover. System registered for 24/7 support.
Your mill rigging crew or a designated contractor. GGC supervises and verifies; we do not self-perform heavy rigging.
Typical 5 to 10 calendar days covering install oversight, calibration, and run-in. Extended support available by day rate.
±0.2% of measured thickness is typical for X-ray gauges on cold-rolled strip. Actual spec depends on product and geometry.
Tell us your outage window and incoming PO. We will assign a named commissioning engineer and confirm a calibration schedule within five business days.
