Frequently Asked Questions
What does grammage mean?
Grammage refers to the basis weight of a material, typically expressed as grams per square meter (g/m²). It's a critical quality parameter for web materials like paper, textiles, nonwovens, and plastic films, indicating the mass of material per unit area.
What is uniformity testing?
Uniformity testing measures the consistency of material properties across the entire web width and length. For grammage, it assesses whether basis weight remains consistent throughout production, identifying variations that could affect product quality, performance, or cause material waste.
What is a grammage test?
A grammage test measures the basis weight of web materials during production. Modern systems use contactless technologies like M-Ray millimeter waves to continuously monitor grammage across the web width, providing real-time data for quality control and process optimization.
How does M-Ray technology differ from traditional measurement methods?
M-Ray technology uses millimeter wave electromagnetic waves—similar to those in cell phones—making it completely non-nuclear and non-radioactive. Unlike X-ray or beta radiation systems, M-Ray measurements are clean, safe for continuous operation, and can see through opaque materials without safety concerns.
What production speeds can your systems handle?
Our systems feature fast measurement rates up to 3 kHz, supporting line speeds up to 500 meters per minute. This rapid sampling ensures accurate monitoring even in highly dynamic production environments, capturing variations that slower systems would miss.
Can your systems integrate with existing production lines?
Yes, we offer both turnkey installations and OEM modules for integration. Our Connectivity 3.0 software enables real-time feedback to production processes, closed-loop adjustments, and seamless integration with Industry 4.0 systems and smart factory platforms.
What materials can you measure?
Our systems measure grammage and thickness for textiles, nonwovens, plastic sheets and films, paper and pulp products, construction materials including particle boards and mineral wool, and various other flat web materials across multiple industries.
Do you provide remote monitoring capabilities?
Yes, our IoT Industry 4.0 app allows remote monitoring and analysis of measurement data from any location. You can follow production quality, access real-time data, browse all connected machines, and utilize advanced analytics features directly from your mobile device.
