Mesures dimensionnelles

Accurate width and edge positioning with millimeter precision

The Edge-Vision-4.0 from Hammer-IMS is a high-performance solution for dimensional measurements in industrial production environments. This system is designed to precisely monitor the width, edge position and alignment of materials during processing, all in real time.

What is dimensional inspection?

Dimensional inspection focuses on verifying the exact size and geometry of products, such as width, length, diameter and the position of features. This is critical in industries where tight tolerances and consistency are essential for product performance, quality and downstream processing.

Why dimensional measurements matter

In modern manufacturing, precision is everything. Even minor deviations in width or alignment can result in material waste, misaligned downstream operations or rejected end products. With Edge-Vision-4.0, deviations are detected as they happen. This allows immediate corrective actions and helps ensure top-quality output.

Key benefits of accurate dimensional control:

  • Higher product quality
  • Reduced material waste
  • More stable production processes
  • Faster detection of process deviations

How Edge-Vision-4.0 works

Edge-Vision-4.0 uses high-resolution industrial vision technology. With intelligent image processing, the system continuously detects the exact edges of fabrics, films, foils, or sheet materials and calculates:

  • Total material width

  • Edge position relative to a reference line

  • Any lateral shifts or wandering

The system performs these measurements non-contact and in real time, without interrupting the production flow. It is easy to integrate into existing lines and requires minimal maintenance.

Applications

Edge-Vision-4.0 is ideal for industries where material width and edge control are critical:

  • Nonwoven and textile manufacturing: detecting fraying edges, inconsistent lanes, or width variations

  • Plastic and film extrusion: ensuring stable width for cutting and packaging processes

  • Composite production: monitoring prepregs or fiber mats for alignment

  • Lamination and coating lines: where precise positioning affects final surface quality

  • Paper production: guaranteeing consistent roll width during converting
