Decades of unbroken experience
The knowledge of the production process is our strength
Data as the root of optimization
We deliver ready solutions for process control and optimization successfully applied on line during the production process of flat and long metal products as well on other materials such as plastics, rubbers, ceramics and even wood. Where there is a need for an accurate process control, we are able to offer complete solutions for online measurement, data acquisition, data management and process optimization. With the help of cutting-edge technologies, we are able to provide effective, rapid and concrete answers to modern production needs. Without data, nothing is controlled, nothing is decided, nothing is improved.
LGE became soon a technical partner of one of the leading groups in no contact industrial measurements, active in the steel making activities since 1949, providing the digital part of the system including the early software, running on DOS and the new born Windows. The history of the online gauging has very deep roots in the past. Everything started in the 50's, when the no contact measuring principle was extended to measure thickness, density and continuity on several kind of materials by Sheffield, as first in the Industry. Our ancestors are the the Sheffield Bendix gauges.
A solid background
Our ancestors, were offering high quality products for steel making factories since 1949: some of them are still in service today.
Our know how comes directly from there, becoming LGE itself a part of the industrial gauging history in the metals making activities. The idea was to unify technologies under a single brand name: acquired the discontinued and well known Companies, merging and selecting philosophies, technologies and know-how, to achieve the present excellence. That is why, we use to say, our contemporary systems are standing on the shoulders of giants. We are proud to carry on this tradition till today, and to provide as well service and upgrades of discontinued equipment.

Innovative solutions
Over the years we have faced various technological challenges that constituted needs for our Customers. These solutions have become part of our know-how and we have extended them with a very high level of positive feedback to other similar industrial realities with comparable needs.
We offer the most reliable and modern thickness control solutions designed to work, no stops, in harsh environment using X-Rays and laser technologies. Our solutions have always been used as an optimal tool to obtain the required thickness from hot and cold rolling processes, providing a precise and stable signal to automatic gauge control systems.
Our optical and vision based solutions represent the state of the art of non-contact width and shape controls on hot and cold strips and slabs but also on long products such as billets and pipes.
Where there is a need to online control shape and dimensions, we have the most innovative solution for identifying visual defects and out of tolerances dimensional size in line during the manufacturing processes of flat and long products such as pipes.
The ultimate solution for measuring flatness and roughness using bidimensional laser technolgies.
Where there is a need to online control the thickness variancy or the continuity of hidden or non-visible parts during the production, for example an internal welding bead in a metal pipe, our scarfing monitor systems are the ideal solution.
Where there is a need to online control and regulate the concentration of the coolant emulsion.
