The Agr International Thickness 360™ Gauge (Thickness 360® measurement system) is 100% designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States by Agr International, Inc. – the internationally recognized global benchmark in container inspection, dimensional gauging, and quality testing systems. Purpose-built to provide the most complete, automated material distribution evaluation for glass and rigid packaging, the Thickness 360™ supersedes traditional tactile measurement tools with an ultra-precise, non-destructive optical methodology that protects product surfaces from scratches or damage.

The key proprietary innovation of the Thickness 360™ is its patented vision-guided, three-axis robotic positioning system paired with a high-resolution optical measurement head. Unlike conventional gauges that struggle with asymmetrical geometry, the Thickness 360™ dynamically tracks the product contour to ensure the optical beam is always positioned strictly "normal to surface" (perpendicular) at every measuring coordinate. Consequently, the system delivers laboratory-grade measurement integrity across challenging features including oval profiles, rectangular corners, tilted sidewalls, shoulder tapers, and recessed label panels with precision reaching ±0.02 mm.

The Thickness 360™ is engineered as a core thickness measurement engine seamlessly integrated into Agr's premier automated sampling stations—including the Dimensional Sampling Gauge Series (DSG400, flagship DSG500, and the DSG-P for pharmaceutical vials and small containers) as well as the OmniLab multi-testing platform. This seamless configuration empowers manufacturers to capture 360-degree complete sidewall thickness data simultaneously alongside dimensional parameters (height, diameters, lean, finish angles, pushup) in a single hands-free sequence. Coupled with automated mold correlation and full Industry 4.0 data reporting, the Thickness 360™ is an indispensable asset for container lightweighting initiatives, hot-end/cold-end optimization, and premium glass packaging production lines worldwide.
