A dedicated team of high-tech measurement and process control specialists.
Hammer-IMS is an innovative high-tech company specializing in non-nuclear quality and process control solutions for global industry. Founded on the conviction that accurate, safe, and sustainable measurement technology can transform industrial manufacturing, Hammer-IMS has grown into a trusted partner for leading manufacturers in textiles, plastics, paper, construction, and automotive sectors worldwide. With a North American presence in Spartanburg and strategic international partnerships—including a collaboration with ADSTEC for the Japanese market—Hammer-IMS combines deep engineering expertise with a customer-centric approach. Our mission is to help producers reduce waste, improve product consistency, and future-proof their operations through clean, contactless M-Ray millimeter wave technology and Industry 4.0-ready software platforms.
Non-contact thickness measurement determines the thickness of a material without physically touching it. Using technologies like millimeter wave (M-Ray), ultrasound, or laser, sensors measure the distance to the material surface or transmission characteristics to calculate thickness precisely. This is ideal for fast-moving production lines, delicate materials, or situations where contact could damage the product or introduce contamination.
