Slide 10: Another Example…
ANOTHER EXAMPLE… “Using your Width Gauge “And can you Technology expertise, correlate the pixel can you develop a Vision data to temperature System for Head/Tail and give a thermal Imaging?” profile?” We’d Love to! Sure! Of Course! “With the Head/Tail “And can you develop a searchable database, imag

Slide 12: GGC in the Tin Industry
GGC IN THE TIN INDUSTRY The Industry Standard in Coating Weight Gauging • X-Ray Fluorescence based • Tin, Zinc, Aluminum, etc. • PLC or PC Options Available • Extremely Accurate, Cost Effective, and Reliable
Slide 13: Back to School!
BACK TO SCHOOL! Every element has characteristic emission energies • Fe: 7.1 keV • Zn: 9.6 keV • Sn: 29.2 keV • Cr: 5.9 keV
Slide 14: Our CWG Is Based on XRF
OUR CWG IS BASED ON XRF Say 20kV Incident X-ray Beam strikes Steel Substrate This causes Secondary Emission from Iron (7.1keV). Little Scatter from Primary Beam… We can measure Secondary Emission!
Slide 15: Example of Tin on Steel
EXAMPLE OF TIN ON STEEL Only the Fe Fluorescence at 20kV (no Sn). Coating Absorbs some of the Energy We Correlate Measured Radiation to the Coating Thickness
Slide 16: A Mathematical Solution Exists
A MATHEMATICAL SOLUTION EXISTS
Slide 17: Design Objectives & Challenges
DESIGN OBJECTIVES & CHALLENGES • The Signal is REALLY Small! – Sensitive Detectors, Close Proximity to Signal • System Components Must be Mill Duty • Keep it Simple – Modular Head, Lightweight, Minimal Cooling (Air?) • Same Head in Online and Lab Units – Minimize Cables
Slide 18: Developed an Integrated Source & Detector Assembly
DEVELOPED AN INTEGRATED SOURCE & DETECTOR ASSEMBLY • 30kV X-ray Generator • Center Mounted X-ray Tube • 4 Ion Chamber Detectors with Closely Coupled A/D
Slide 19: Gauge Head/Frame (at GGC)
GAUGE HEAD/FRAME (at GGC) • Sealed Head Mounted on Belt Driven Linear Slide • Power, Fiber Optic Signal, Dry Air for Cooling • SS Version: Weighs ~70#
Slide 20: Online Gauge
