Basis Weight Measurement
Contactless inline basis weight measurement for gypsum boards using M-Ray millimeter wave technology, enabling accurate mass-per-area readings across the full board width without nuclear sources.
Gypsum board production demands precise weight and thickness control to ensure structural integrity and regulatory compliance. Hammer-IMS delivers advanced, non-nuclear M-Ray measurement solutions that provide real-time inline data, anomaly detection, and closed-loop process feedback—helping manufacturers reduce material waste, tighten production margins, and maintain consistent board quality at high line speeds.
Comprehensive non-nuclear measurement solutions tailored for gypsum board manufacturing quality control and process optimization.
Contactless inline basis weight measurement for gypsum boards using M-Ray millimeter wave technology, enabling accurate mass-per-area readings across the full board width without nuclear sources.
High-speed contactless thickness measurement across the cross-machine direction, detecting local deviations and ensuring boards meet strict dimensional tolerances throughout continuous production.
Real-time detection of production irregularities including voids, density variations, and process deviations within gypsum boards, enabling immediate corrective action and reducing costly waste.
End-to-end installation of Marveloc-CURTAIN measurement platforms on new or existing gypsum board production lines, including multi-sensor head configurations for full-width coverage.
Remote monitoring and data analytics via the Hammer-IMS IoT Industry 4.0 app, allowing production managers to track gypsum board quality trends and process performance from any location.
Flexible M-Ray OEM modules for machine builders and system integrators looking to embed non-nuclear thickness and basis weight measurement directly into gypsum board production equipment.
Gypsum board manufacturers across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region face growing pressure to reduce material costs while meeting strict thickness and weight specifications. Hammer-IMS M-Ray technology delivers contactless, non-radioactive inline measurement at up to 3 kHz, supporting line speeds of 500 meters per minute. The multi-sensor head platform provides uniform cross-machine coverage, minimizing production margins and enabling real-time closed-loop process adjustments that measurably cut waste.

Innovative engineers and measurement specialists dedicated to industrial quality control.
Hammer-IMS develops and provides high-tech, non-nuclear quality and process control solutions for manufacturers across the globe. Rooted in a mission to make accurate, non-destructive measurement the industry standard, the company has built a growing international presence, with operations spanning Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Australia, and Japan—including a strategic expansion through collaboration with ADSTEC. Trusted by industry leaders such as Owens Corning and CSR Martini, Hammer-IMS brings deep expertise in construction materials measurement, helping gypsum board producers reduce waste, optimize thickness margins, and achieve consistent product quality on every production run.
Basis weight—also called grammage or mass per unit area—measures how much material is present per square meter of gypsum board. In production, maintaining consistent basis weight ensures boards meet structural and fire-rating specifications. Hammer-IMS M-Ray sensors perform this measurement inline and contactlessly, providing real-time data without slowing the production line.
