Our Rubber Testing and Measurement Services

Comprehensive inline and offline measurement solutions tailored for rubber and elastomer manufacturing processes.

Contactless Thickness Measurement

Measure rubber sheet and profile thickness without contact using M-Ray millimeter wave technology. Achieve accurate readings across multiple centimeters of material thickness while maintaining clean, non-nuclear operation on live production lines.

M-Ray Technology Solutions

Multifunctional millimeter wave technology enabling dimensional measurement, displacement tracking, and material characterization at multiple kHz rates. Ideal for highly dynamic rubber extrusion and calendering environments requiring fast, reliable data.

Turn-key Inline Installations

End-to-end Marveloc-CURTAIN system installations for rubber production lines, including upgrades to existing setups. Multi-sensor head configurations provide full cross-machine coverage and detect local deviations tied to individual extrusion screw bolts.

M-Ray OEM Module Integration

A compact, non-nuclear OEM sensor module for machine builders and integrators adding thickness or basis weight measurement to rubber processing equipment. Small form factor with full API support enables seamless product integration.

IoT Industry 4.0 Monitoring

Monitor rubber production quality remotely via the Hammer-IMS IoT app. Access real-time measurement data, production trends, and analytics from any location to support smart factory operations and continuous process improvement.

Non-Nuclear Quality Control

Precision Measurement That Keeps Rubber Production on Spec

Rubber production tolerances leave little room for error—over-gauge material wastes compound, while under-gauge product fails performance specs. Hammer-IMS M-Ray millimeter wave technology delivers contactless, non-nuclear thickness and basis weight measurement directly on the production line, operating at up to 3 kHz for lines running at high speed. With multi-sensor cross-machine coverage and closed-loop feedback capability, manufacturers across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America consistently reduce scrap, tighten thickness margins, and run leaner without sacrificing quality.
