Frequently Asked Questions

What is M-Ray technology and how does it differ from X-Ray measurement?

M-Ray technology uses millimeter wave electromagnetic signals — the same spectrum used in mobile phones — for contactless industrial measurement. Unlike X-Ray, M-Ray is entirely non-nuclear and non-radioactive, making it safe for continuous 24/7 operation by personnel without special licensing or radiation safety protocols. It can measure through opaque materials and in raw or unclean environments.
