Installation & Commissioning.

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.

OUTCOMES

What you get from GGC installation & commissioning

Proof against your material

We calibrate against master specimens, then run the gauge against 8 hours of actual production before sign-off.

Documented accuracy

Calibration certificate references ISO/IEC 17025 and NIST-traceable standards with each individual data point recorded.

Handover that holds

Maintenance crew receives 4 hours of at-the-rail training and a commissioning report before the engineer departs.

Warranty activated correctly

Commissioning paperwork starts the warranty clock and registers the system for 24/7 support, no separate process.

PROCESS

How we deliver

01

Pre-mobilization

Receiving plan, crane logistics, safety plan, and tooling list confirmed with site 2 weeks prior.

02

Mechanical install

Under supervision of GGC engineer. Alignment to mill center-line within ±0.5 mm.

03

Electrical & network

I/O point-to-point, network addressing, Level-2 integration tested before energization.

04

Source & calibration

X-ray emitter warm-up or isotope alignment, followed by full-range calibration against master samples.

05

Production run-in

Extended run against current production. Accuracy and repeatability logged.

06

Sign-off & training

Commissioning report, operator training, and maintenance handover. System registered for 24/7 support.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

FAQs

Who does the mechanical erection?

Your mill rigging crew or a designated contractor. GGC supervises and verifies; we do not self-perform heavy rigging.

How long does the engineer stay on-site?

Typical 5 to 10 calendar days covering install oversight, calibration, and run-in. Extended support available by day rate.

What accuracy can we expect?

±0.2% of measured thickness is typical for X-ray gauges on cold-rolled strip. Actual spec depends on product and geometry.
