Frequently Asked Questions

How does Hammer-IMS measure glass fiber thickness without contact?

Hammer-IMS uses M-Ray millimeter wave technology — electromagnetic waves similar to those used in mobile communications — to measure the thickness and basis weight of glass fiber materials without any physical contact. The sensor head transmits millimeter waves through the material, and the reflected or transmitted signal is analyzed to calculate precise dimensional values in real time.

Is the measurement technology safe for continuous 24/7 production by personnel?

Can the system detect localized defects in glass fiber, such as those caused by individual extrusion screws?

What thickness range can the system measure for glass fiber materials?

Does the system support real-time process control and closed-loop production adjustment?

Can I monitor my glass fiber production lines remotely?

Is it possible to integrate the M-Ray sensor into our existing production equipment?

How can I evaluate the system before committing to a purchase?
