What types of surface defects can line scan camera inspection systems detect?
Our systems detect thickness variations, surface anomalies, wrinkles, creases, weld points, basis weight deviations, and localized manufacturing irregularities across plastics, textiles, nonwovens, paper, and construction materials. The multi-sensor configuration ensures comprehensive coverage that single-sensor systems cannot achieve.
How does M-Ray technology differ from traditional X-Ray inspection?
M-Ray technology uses millimeter wave electromagnetic waves similar to those in cell phones, making it entirely non-nuclear and non-radioactive. Unlike X-Ray systems, M-Ray requires no radiation safety protocols, enables 24/7 personnel operation, and provides clean measurement without regulatory restrictions while delivering comparable or superior accuracy.
Can your inspection systems integrate with existing production lines?
Yes, our systems are designed for seamless integration with existing manufacturing infrastructure. We offer turnkey installations, OEM modules for machine builders, and API interfaces for custom applications. Our solutions support closed-loop feedback for real-time production adjustments and Industry 4.0 connectivity.
What production speeds can your line scan camera systems accommodate?
Our systems operate at measurement rates exceeding 3 kHz, enabling inspection of production lines running up to 500 meters per minute. The high-speed capability ensures comprehensive defect detection without compromising throughput or requiring line slowdowns.
Are your inspection systems suitable for measuring thick materials?
Absolutely. Our technology can accurately measure materials up to 30 centimeters thick, making it ideal for construction materials, thick plastic sheets, particle boards, and multi-layer products. The system maintains consistent performance regardless of material thickness or opacity.
How does the multi-sensor approach improve inspection accuracy?
The multi-sensor configuration provides expanded cross-machine direction coverage, enabling detection of localized deviations corresponding to individual extrusion screw bolts or manufacturing zones. This approach ensures uniform sheet coverage and helps reduce production thickness margins that single-sensor systems miss.
Can I monitor inspection data remotely?
Yes, our IoT Industry 4.0 app enables remote monitoring and analysis of measurement data from any Hammer-IMS system via mobile devices. The platform provides real-time production quality insights, trend analytics, and smart factory integration for comprehensive quality oversight.
What materials and industries do you serve?
We serve textile, nonwovens, plastics, steel, construction materials, automotive, paper processing, and medical device industries. Our technology works with polymers (PE, PP, PMMA, PC), fabrics, particle boards, plywood, mineral wool, gypsum boards, and various coatings and films.
