Thickness gauges.

Global Gauge is the largest USA-based manufacturer of X-ray thickness gauges, and has been building them for the steel and other metals industries for over twenty years. The Global Gauge product line is recognised as the industry standard for non-contact thickness measurement on rolling mills and process lines.

Two platforms

Choose by how the system is controlled.

PLC-based, in-line

Perfecta Thickness Gauges

Six models across X-ray and isotope measurement, running on Allen-Bradley ControlLogix or Siemens S7-1500. Built for continuous in-line measurement on hot mills, cold mills and processing lines.

PC-based, laboratory and offline

Accura Thickness Gauges

Six PC-based models for laboratory, offline and profilometer work, where measurement is done away from the line or in compact and retrofit installations.

Configurations

Built around the line, not the other way round.

Whether you need a scanning C-frame, scanning sensors within a C-frame, centerline thickness measurement or profile thickness measurement, Global Gauge will design a system engineered for maximum performance and reliability in your application.

Systems can be configured for centerline, scanning, large, small, in-line or discrete operation. We build using available components, which keeps the systems flexible and affordable to own.

Scanning C-frame

Full-width traversing measurement for profile and cross-strip control.

Centerline

Fixed-point measurement where centerline control is what matters.

Profile measurement

Cross-strip thickness profile for wedge and crown control.

Retrofit

Compact heads and frames for replacing ageing equipment in place.
