Glass fiber production demands precision at every stage—from strand formation to final product thickness. Hammer-IMS delivers non-nuclear, contactless measurement solutions engineered for the unique challenges of glass fiber manufacturing: high temperatures, opaque materials, and continuous high-speed lines requiring real-time quality feedback and zero production downtime.
Comprehensive non-nuclear sensing and quality control solutions purpose-built for glass fiber production environments.
Multifunctional millimeter wave technology enabling contactless thickness measurement, basis weight, and material characterization at multiple kHz rates—ideal for high-speed glass fiber lines requiring clean, non-nuclear sensing.
M-Ray based inline solutions for glass wool and mineral wool thickness and basis weight measurement, offering a clean X-Ray alternative with anomaly detection and minimal measurement latency.
A millimeter wave measurement platform for contactless thickness and basis weight of flat glass fiber products. Available in OEM versions for integrators with an ideal price-performance ratio.
End-to-end inline installation projects for glass fiber production lines, featuring multi-sensor heads for increased material coverage and detection of local deviations across the cross-machine direction.
A compact, non-nuclear sensor module for thickness and basis weight measurement, designed for machine builders and integrators to embed precise glass fiber sensing directly into their own systems.
Remote monitoring and analytics platform enabling glass fiber producers to track measurement data, identify production trends, and access smart factory insights from any location via Android application.
Glass fiber production presents extreme measurement challenges—high process temperatures, opaque fibers, and continuous high-speed output demand sensors that are robust, fast, and safe. Hammer-IMS's M-Ray millimeter wave technology delivers contactless, non-radioactive thickness and basis weight measurement across the full width of glass fiber and glass wool mats, ensuring uniform coverage, reduced material waste, and real-time closed-loop process control without halting production.

Meet the innovators shaping non-nuclear industrial measurement.
Hammer-IMS develops and delivers innovative, high-tech quality and process control solutions for industrial manufacturers worldwide. Specializing in non-nuclear M-Ray millimeter wave technology, Hammer-IMS serves the glass fiber, nonwovens, plastics, and construction materials sectors across Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Australia, and Japan—including a strategic expansion with ADSTEC to serve the Asian market. Trusted by global industry leaders such as Owens Corning, Hammer-IMS combines a passion for innovation with a commitment to sustainability, helping glass fiber producers reduce waste, improve uniformity, and optimize production efficiency through clean, contactless sensing technology.
M-Ray technology uses millimeter wave electromagnetic signals—the same wave family as mobile phone signals—to penetrate and reflect off glass fiber material without physical contact. The sensor transmits waves through the material and analyzes the reflected signal to calculate thickness and basis weight with high precision, even at production speeds exceeding 500 meters per minute.
