Our Industrial Thickness Measurement Solutions

Complete portfolio of contactless measurement systems for plastics, construction materials, textiles, and paper—all powered by clean M-Ray technology.

Plastic Sheet Thickness Measurement

Contactless profile measurement for PE, PP, PMMA, and PC sheets. Multi-sensor approach enables uniform coverage, reduces thickness margins up to 5%, and works in high-temperature extrusion environments for any color or filled material.

Construction Materials Measurement

Clean X-Ray alternative for MDF, OSB, plywood, mineral wool, and gypsum boards. Multi-function heads detect manufacturing deviations with minimal latency, ensuring consistent quality across particle boards and insulation products.

Paper & Pulp Quality Control

High-speed contactless measurement at 3 KHz for lines up to 500 m/min. Built-in weld detection, wrinkle identification, and basis weight measurement eliminate human error while supporting 24/7 non-nuclear production.

Turnkey Marveloc-CURTAIN Systems

Complete inline installations featuring multi-sensor heads for maximum cross-machine coverage. Measures materials up to 30 cm thick with fixed or mobile sensors, detecting local deviations corresponding to individual extrusion components.

M-Ray Technology Integration

Multifunctional millimeter wave platform for dimensional measurement, displacement tracking, and material characterization. Multiple kHz rates handle dynamic environments with robust sensor heads for raw, unclean conditions.

IoT Industry 4.0 Monitoring

Remote monitoring app for any Hammer-IMS measurement device. Access production data, analyze trends, and track quality metrics for textiles, nonwovens, plastics, sheets, and films directly from your mobile device.

Non-Nuclear Technology

Clean, Contactless Precision That Transforms Production Quality

Our M-Ray millimeter wave systems deliver the accuracy you need without radioactive materials or nuclear licensing hassles. See through opaque materials, measure up to 30 centimeters thick, and achieve uniform coverage with multi-sensor configurations. Whether you're extruding plastic sheets, manufacturing construction boards, or producing paper at 500 meters per minute, our technology adapts to your line—reducing waste, tightening tolerances, and enabling 24/7 operation with complete safety.
