Precision matters in every layer of your production process. Hammer-IMS delivers advanced acoustic surface inspection and treatment services using cutting-edge, non-nuclear measurement technology to detect hidden surface defects, quantify anomalies, and guide targeted treatment — helping manufacturers eliminate waste, maintain quality standards, and keep production lines running at peak performance.
Comprehensive non-contact surface inspection and treatment solutions designed to detect defects, characterize materials, and optimize production quality.
Identify wrinkles, creases, voids, and surface deviations in real time using millimeter wave-based M-Ray technology. Our contactless sensors scan continuously across the full material width, catching defects before they compound into costly production waste.
Investigate vibration anomalies and acoustic irregularities in production networks and material surfaces. Our systems correlate acoustic signatures with structural deviations, enabling engineers to identify root causes and schedule targeted treatment interventions with precision.
Perform detailed surface characterization for textiles, nonwovens, plastic sheets, and construction materials. Our M-Ray technology measures surface uniformity, basis weight distribution, and thickness profiles without contact, delivering actionable data for treatment planning.
Translate inspection data into closed-loop production adjustments. Our systems provide real-time feedback to process controls, enabling automatic treatment corrections — reducing material thickness margins, minimizing scrap, and sustaining consistent surface quality at high line speeds.
Access comprehensive surface inspection reports and trend analytics through our IoT Industry 4.0 app. Monitor measurement data remotely, review production quality histories, and document surface treatment outcomes for compliance and continuous improvement programs.
Deploy complete surface inspection systems with full engineering support. Hammer-IMS manages new installations and upgrades to existing lines, including multi-sensor head configurations that maximize cross-machine direction coverage for demanding surface inspection requirements.
Our engineers conduct a detailed review of your production environment — line speed, material type, surface characteristics, and known defect modes. This scoping phase defines sensor placement, coverage requirements, and the measurement parameters needed to capture the acoustic and surface phenomena most critical to your quality outcomes.

Our M-Ray millimeter wave technology is entirely non-nuclear and non-radioactive, enabling 24/7 operation by personnel without radiation safety restrictions.
Contactless sensor systems deliver high-accuracy surface measurements without touching or disrupting the material, protecting delicate surfaces and maintaining line integrity.
With active service teams and strategic partners across Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Australia, Japan, and beyond, Hammer-IMS supports your facilities wherever they operate.
Real-time data feedback and closed-loop production adjustment capabilities mean inspection findings translate directly into process corrections, not just reports.
A dedicated team of measurement engineers and industry specialists serving manufacturers worldwide.
Hammer-IMS was founded with a clear mission: to make advanced quality and process control accessible to every industrial manufacturer — without the complexity, cost, or safety concerns of nuclear measurement methods. Driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to sustainability, our team has developed proprietary M-Ray millimeter wave technology that is now trusted by leading manufacturers across textiles, plastics, nonwovens, paper, construction materials, and automotive industries. Through strategic global partnerships — including our recent expansion into Japan with ADSTEC — we continue to extend our reach and deepen our expertise, delivering surface inspection and process control solutions that reduce waste, improve efficiency, and support our customers' long-term quality goals.
Acoustic surface inspection uses vibration and wave-based sensing to detect deviations, anomalies, and defects on material surfaces without physical contact. At Hammer-IMS, our M-Ray millimeter wave technology captures surface thickness profiles, vibration signatures, and structural irregularities at high measurement rates — up to 3 kHz — providing real-time visibility into surface quality across the full material width.
