Solution-Based Offerings around the Mill
From modernizations to new equipment, Vollmer America is here to find the solution that works for you.
A Team of Gauge Measurement Experts
Vollmer America is well-known among processing mills (Steel, Copper, Aluminum and others), specialty metal facilities and the aerospace industry for its thickness and width measurement gauges. Our experienced and highly-skilled team is committed to continuous learning so we can meet your needs for better tolerances and measurement accuracies.

VTLG
The VTLG measures the strip’s absolute thickness without being influenced by the material properties, but contact-free and from a safe distance. With a measurement accuracy of up to ± 1 μm, it achieves the same precision as contact and X-ray gauges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a difference between Vollmer's contact gauges offered today and my existing Vollmer system?
Mature Vollmer systems in operation today are likely utilizing a version of the VMF analog amplifier, which is an obsolete component essential to the measurement system. Today, our contact gauges use a digital system which includes our Vollmer Touch Screen (VTS) evaluating unit, which supersedes the obsolete VMF amplifier. Today, the design has many added benefits and improved upon features, which include:
- The digital probes have a linearity specification that is basic to the transducers and do not require recalibration when changed.
- The transducers’ open by spring and close by air; removes the need for vacuum lifting in the existing gauges.
- The upper transducer has a greater lifting range than the mature gauge systems, which removes the need for stepper motors and protects the diamond tips from damage when moving on and off the strip.
- Digital measuring sensors connect to the evaluating unit, VTS, vs. a VMF amplifier that uses analog sensors. A single VTS can evaluate up to four digital gauges, whereas the mature gauges require a VMF amplifier per gauge.
Does Vollmer have an offering for width measurement solutions?
Yes, Vollmer can provide solutions for width measurement up to 400 mm in width. The evaluating unit, VTS, can display both thickness and width for those who require both measures.
