THE COMPANY

Global Gauge Europe is a full line manufacturer of X-Ray Thickness Gauges,  providing engineering, design, fabrication, installation and service from our facility in Italy and through our partners in USA (Dayton,OH) and Asia (Beijing).

 

Company Profile

 

Formed in February of 1999, Global Gauge acquired the assets of Kirkendall Metrology, Inc. (KMI) formerly known as Kirkendall Measuray, Inc.  The Measuray gauges date back to the 1950’s when they were first introduced by Sheffield Bendix Corporation. Also acquired the assets of PDM. The tradition of providing support to industries requiring sophisticated measurement equipment became the foundation on which Global Gauge would build.  The personnel of Global Gauge are proud to build on this tradition 

Global Gauge systems can be utilized throughout several industries, including metals, paper, plastics, rubber and ceramics.  The systems can be used on hot mills, cold mills, and on process lines.  Global Gauge systems are also used for the measurement of discrete parts, off-line.  Global Gauge offers a complete solution for your measurement needs.  From Global Gauge, you get the combination of engineering excellence and quality manufacturing, backed up with warranty and service which are second to none.  With Global Gauge, you can be confident you have made the right choice.

DEVICES

X-RAY GENERATOR

The GHF X-Ray Generator is a modern, reliable device, using a state-of-the-art, solid-state high-voltage multiplier circuit and a proven, reliable X-ray tube. The generator can be set at any kV level over its operating range, and the voltage can be maintained at better than +/- 99.9% of the set point. Since the generator is set at a specific kV point for each nominal thickness, the noise component associated with the generator is minimized at every thickness. Additionally, since the generator is adjusted to the precise level of X-ray required to measure the target thickness, no extra radiation is emitted, making this  generator design inherently safer. These two aspects of the Global Gauge generator are superior to that of an isotope generator.

 

 

DETECTOR

The Detector is an integrated X-ray detection system which includes all necessary elements for measuring the X-ray signal and for providing an output to the gauge computer. The Detector is a sealed aluminum housing, and contains a scintillator crystal, photo-multiplier tube (PMT), PMT high-voltage regulated power supply, pre-amplifier, and amplifier circuit.  The electronic circuits are designed and manufactured with very close coupling, to reduce the signal noise. An Ion chamber is also available for aluminum and other applications that can utilize the special features of the Ion chamber.

 

STANDARDS MAGAZINE

The Standards Magazine houses a set of standards, which when used in combination covers the entire thickness range of the material to be measured. Designed for robustness and long life, the standards magazine can be counted on to operate reliably in all mill applications. All standards are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Global Gauge offers the certification of thickness samples under the scope of the ISO/IEC 17025:1999. Certification is performed by   the "Standards Calibration Laboratory", a division of Global Gauge Corporation.

BASIC SYSTEMS

 

EPC

The Electronics Power Cabinet is a heavy duty steel enclosure which can be supplied to the required NEMA standards.It contains the necessary controls and signal processing circuits to operate the gauge system and to have it communicate externally. The EPC houses the computer running Windows® .  All software is loaded onto the Gauge at Global Gauge and thoroughly tested before shipping.

 

 

RCP

 

The optional Operator’s Remote is a station that allows the Operator to remotely operate the gauge and to view data in real-time
The Operator’s Remote may be equipped with a Keyboard, Function Key Panel or Touch Screen at the user’s option.
Want another remote?  Simply add a PC with Windows NT ® and gauge software, network card, plus cable, and you have it

 

 

C-FRAME

Each C-Frame is custom manufactured to the specific requirement of the mill, and is designed to withstand the harsh environmentsassociated with hot and cold mill applications.  The rigid steel construction houses the generator, standards magazine, and detector assemblies in precise alignment.  The C-Frame and its associated control system can be designed for centerline operation, scanning, or profiling (on Hot Mill applications).  Various drive systems can be used, such as positive chain drive, friction drive, rack-and-pinion drive, or hydraulic cylinder.  For scanning systems, the motor control and chain drive allows the operator to push a single button to Auto-Center the C-Frame and then perform the scanning function.
