Waterbury Farrel® computerized hydraulic Automatic Gauge Control® (AGC) Systems produce close-tolerance strip merely at the push of a button. These systems automatically and consistently maintain extremely tight tolerance throughout the length of every coil, regardless of speed. Basically, the MICRON AGC®, one of the most sophisticated and successful computerized control systems in the world patented by Waterbury Farrel® , monitors the strip gauge and corrects variations within milliseconds. Corrections are transmitted to an accurate, highly-responsive hydraulic servo screwdown system. Other components of the system include: precision high-response gauges, a state-of-the-art industrial computer and appropriate interfaces with operational software, auto stopping, multi-point slowdown within the coil, management printout data, and automated rolling schedule. The Micron AGC® System is much more effective and accurate than the screwdown design used on most mills with their conventional and inherent "backlash."

Features Include:

	Automatic stopping at end of coil
	Automatic slowdown within the coil for potential trouble points or bad spots
	Strip quality data (strip chart recording and printout)
	Diagnostic software/self-testing hardware modules
	All hardware conveniently packaged in the main operator's desk
	Management printout data
	Automated mill setup
	Imperial and/or metric gauge setting
	Automatic zeroing of gauges
