Frequently Asked Questions

How does non-contact measurement differ from traditional contact methods?

Non-contact measurement uses millimeter wave technology to measure thickness without physically touching the material. This eliminates production interruptions, prevents surface damage, enables measurements at high line speeds up to 500 m/min, and allows measurement of materials at elevated temperatures directly from extrusion processes.
