The Agr International MBT 7200XT Portable Non-Ferrous Thickness Gauge is 100% designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States by Agr International, Inc. – the world-renowned technological pioneer with more than 95 years of specialized innovation in packaging quality inspection systems. Specifically engineered to meet rigorous container quality assurance standards, the MBT 7200XT resolves the challenges of measuring wall thickness in products with intricate contours, tight radii, and recessed geometry where conventional mechanical calipers or ultrasonic gauges cannot reliably reach.

The operating principle of the Agr MBT 7200XT is grounded in proven Hall Effect technology. The system employs an external magnetic sensing probe paired with a precision-machined steel target ball placed inside the container. The Hall sensor embedded within the probe head accurately measures the magnetic flux density between the internal magnet and the target ball. The internal digital processor calculates and displays the exact distance between the probe tip and the target ball in real time—corresponding precisely to the material wall thickness. The measurement process is completely non-destructive, allowing operators to smoothly trace across the sidewalls, corners, base, and finish of containers without scratching or distorting delicate surfaces.

The all-digital architecture of the XT platform completely eliminates noise interference from adjacent plant machinery, ensuring consistent, repeatable readings with resolution down to 0.001 mm. The instrument accommodates a standard thickness range of 0 to 10 mm, with optional probe and ball configurations extending capabilities up to 24 mm to support everything from ultra-lightweight containers to heavy-duty glass jars. Featuring continuous Min/Max capture routines, programmable offset calibration, and seamless digital data export to PCs and SPC data management networks, the Agr MBT 7200XT stands as an essential quality control instrument across blowmolding lines, beverage bottling plants, pharmaceutical packaging suites, and certified materials laboratories.
