Achieve precise latex backing weight control in your carpet manufacturing process with Hammer-IMS's advanced M-Ray technology. Our contactless, non-nuclear measurement systems deliver real-time thickness and basis weight monitoring to optimize material usage, reduce waste, and ensure consistent carpet quality throughout production.
Comprehensive measurement and control systems designed specifically for carpet manufacturing processes requiring precise latex backing application.
Contactless M-Ray technology provides continuous basis weight monitoring of latex backing during application, enabling immediate process adjustments to maintain target specifications and minimize material waste in high-speed carpet production lines.
Advanced multi-sensor platforms deliver complete cross-machine direction coverage, detecting localized weight variations across the full carpet width to ensure uniform latex distribution and prevent quality defects before they reach downstream processes.
Closed-loop control systems automatically adjust latex application equipment based on real-time measurement data, maintaining consistent backing weight while reducing operator intervention and improving overall production efficiency and material yield.
