Problem
In manufacturing, inconsistencies in the thickness, weight, and surface quality of flat materials can lead to defects, increased waste, and reduced production efficiency. Traditional quality control methods often involve manual inspections or offline testing, which are time-consuming and may not provide real-time feedback for process adjustments.
Solution
Hammer-IMS provides in-line measurement systems that accurately assess the thickness, basis weight, and surface of flat materials during production. Utilizing various sensor technologies, including M-Ray (electromagnetic millimeter wave), L-Ray (laser), U-Ray (ultrasound) and C-Ray (capacitive), these systems detect anomalies and defects in real-time. The non-nuclear M-Ray technology ensures safe and sustainable quality control. By integrating these systems, manufacturers can optimize their production processes, reduce material waste, and improve overall product quality.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers across various industries, such as nonwovens, textiles, plastics, and insulation, who require precise, real-time quality control of flat materials during production.
