Turn-key Marveloc-CURTAIN Installations

Platform combining Marveloc 602 with inline customer requirements. Features multi-sensor heads measuring materials up to 30cm thick with fixed or mobile sensors for maximum cross-machine coverage, detecting local deviations corresponding to individual extrusion elements.

Paper Processing Quality Control

Contactless measurement systems for paper, fiberboard, and pulp machines. 20cm variable distance with weld detection, basis weight input, wrinkle detection, and 3 KHz measurement rates supporting line speeds up to 500 meters per minute.

M-Ray OEM Modules

Compact non-nuclear thickness and basis-weight measurement modules for machine builders and integrators. Small form factor stainless steel units with API interface, demo applications, and reference design source code for flexible system integration.

Uncompromising Performance

Engineered for Extreme Conditions Where Traditional Sensors Fail

Harsh industrial environments with extreme temperatures, dust, moisture, and vibration require measurement solutions built to withstand the toughest conditions. Our M-Ray technology delivers contactless precision from extended stand-off distances, eliminating sensor contamination and damage risks. The robust stainless steel construction and non-nuclear design ensure continuous 24/7 operation in raw, unclean production areas. With multi-kHz measurement rates and see-through capabilities for opaque materials, your quality control maintains peak accuracy regardless of environmental challenges, enabling closed-loop process adjustments that reduce waste and optimize production margins.
