Contactless millimeter wave technology enabling dimensional measurement, displacement tracking, and material characterization. Multiple kHz measurement rates for highly dynamic production with robust performance in raw environments.
Instant identification of wrinkles, creases, weld points, thickness variations, and surface defects. Built-in detection algorithms with minimal latency enable immediate production adjustments and waste reduction.
Specialized solutions for particle boards, plywood, mineral wool, and gypsum board. Multi-function measuring heads detect manufacturing deviations in real-time for MDF, OSB, rock wool, and glass wool products.
High-speed measurement systems reaching 3 KHz for production lines up to 500 meters per minute. Includes weld detection, basis weight measurement, vibration analysis, and multi-layer data processing capabilities.
Complete system integration including new installations and upgrades to existing production lines. Custom-configured multi-sensor platforms with state-of-the-art software environment and comprehensive training support.
Our 2D defect mapping systems revolutionize quality control by providing complete surface coverage of your manufactured materials. Unlike single-point measurements, our multi-sensor platforms scan the entire cross-machine direction, detecting anomalies that correspond to individual production elements. The contactless M-Ray technology sees through opaque materials, operates in harsh environments, and maintains consistent performance regardless of color or filling materials. With measurement rates in the multiple kHz range and Industry 4.0 connectivity, you gain real-time insights that enable closed-loop production adjustments, minimize material waste, and ensure every product meets your specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes 2D defect mapping superior to single-point measurements?
2D defect mapping with multi-sensor platforms provides complete surface coverage across the entire cross-machine direction, detecting local deviations and anomalies that single-point systems cannot see. This enables identification of defects corresponding to individual extrusion screw bolts or production elements, ensuring uniform quality across the full material width.
How does M-Ray technology work for defect detection?
M-Ray technology uses millimeter wave electromagnetic waves to perform contactless measurements. It can see through opaque materials, enabling detection of hidden defects while maintaining consistent performance regardless of color or surface conditions. The technology operates at multiple kHz measurement rates for highly dynamic production environments.
Can your systems measure thick materials and what's the maximum coverage?
Yes, our Marveloc-CURTAIN platforms can measure materials up to 30 centimeters thick using one or more fixed or mobile sensors. The multi-sensor approach ensures maximum coverage in the cross-machine direction for complete surface monitoring.
Is the measurement technology safe for continuous operation?
Absolutely. Our M-Ray technology is completely non-nuclear and non-radioactive, using the same type of electromagnetic waves as cell phones. This enables safe 24/7 operation by personnel without radiation concerns or regulatory restrictions.
What production speeds can your defect mapping systems handle?
Our systems support high-speed production with measurement rates up to 3 kHz, allowing line speeds up to 500 meters per minute. The fast measurement capability ensures real-time quality control even in the most demanding production environments.
How quickly can defects be detected and corrected?
Our multi-function measuring heads detect manufacturing deviations with minimal latency, providing real-time feedback to production processes. This enables immediate closed-loop production adjustments to correct issues before significant waste occurs.
What types of defects can your 2D mapping systems detect?
Our systems detect thickness variations, weld points, wrinkles, creases, basis weight deviations, vibration anomalies, and hidden material defects. The technology works across plastics, textiles, nonwovens, construction materials, paper, and pulp products.
Do you provide installation and integration services?
Yes, we offer complete turnkey installations for both new systems and upgrades to existing production lines. Our services include custom configuration, software integration, Industry 4.0 connectivity setup, training, and ongoing support to ensure optimal system performance.
