This week, Hammer-IMS is making a significant stride into the heart of the Asian textile and non-woven industry at the Highly-functional Material Week in Chiba, Tokyo, Japan. From Wednesday, November 12th to Friday, November 14th, our team is on-site, demonstrating how our advanced non-contact measurement solutions are redefining precision and efficiency.
You can find us in Hall 6, at Booth 38. We invite all attendees to visit us for a live demonstration of our innovative technology.
Last week, our customers of ITA Augsburg presented interesting scientific insights in the use of their recently-purchased M-Ray quality control system during a talk at the Workshop "Mikrowellen- und Terahertz-Prüftechnik in der industriellen Praxis" in Kissing by Augsburg. The audience was treated to the interesting conclusions of the work presented by Philip Mosler, Sebastian Geldhäuser and Prof. Dr. Mesut Cetin, entitled "Millimeterwellen-Messtechnik zur Flächengewichtserfassung in der Vliesstoffproduktion."
At Federal Eco Foam in Belgium, their mission is transformation. They take old, used foams from sources like discarded mattresses and skillfully recycle them into high-value products, including insulation materials and professional MMA mats.
But this complex recycling process came with a critical quality control challenge. A single, tiny piece of hidden plastic or metal could ruin a perfect product.
We’ve just wrapped up a fantastic and productive week at ITMA Asia in Singapore, and what an experience it was! The energy at the event was incredible, serving as a powerful reminder of why the Asian market is so dynamic and vital for the future of textiles and non-wovens.
Harelbeke, Belgium – Lano, a Belgian manufacturing company known for its carpets and artificial grass, has successfully implemented a new measurement system from Hammer-IMS to gain critical control over its production process. The system, which measures the application of latex coating, is solving long-standing challenges related to product quality, cost control, and waste reduction.
Spring 2025 – CSR Martini™ started operating a new Hammer-IMS system in one of their production facilities near Sydney, Australia.
Funabashi, Japan, July 2025
HAMMER-IMS has taken a major step in expanding its international presence by partnering with ADSTEC in Funabashi, Japan. As part of this strategic collaboration, ADSTEC recently purchased a HAMMER-IMS system—marking an important milestone in introducing our advanced measurement solutions to the Japanese battery industry.
Düsseldorf, Germany – Hammer-IMS recently participated in the K show in Düsseldorf, the world's largest international trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry. We were very pleased with the turnout and the quality of the conversations we had with industry professionals. The event provided an excellent platform to discuss the ongoing need for high-precision, non-nuclear quality control solutions in a rapidly evolving market.
At Westlake Plastics, innovation meets efficiency. Their new facility features a state-of-the-art extrusion line capable of producing large-thickness plastic sheets, rods, and films from over 20 types of thermoplastics, ranging from 1 millimeter up to three-quarters of an inch. To ensure precise, reliable production across this wide range, Westlake Plastics chose the Hammer-IMS system.
During production, each panel passes through the Edge-Vision-4.0-CURTAIN, where the system generates a complete 100% fingerprint of the panel. Inspection results are displayed instantly on the HMI and automatically stored for later use and analysis.
This is crucial for panel manufacturing, as it ensures consistent quality and helps detect defects at the earliest possible stage. By securing both process reliability and end-product quality, manufacturers can reduce waste, optimize efficiency, and guarantee customer satisfaction.
At Hammer-IMS, we believe that technology should not only be efficient and innovative but also responsible. That’s why we develop measurement systems that excel technically while making a tangible positive impact on people and the environment. Our project results contribute to societal themes such as environment, climate, energy, health, circular economy, and sustainable industry.
At Hammer-IMS, we specialize in advanced quality control solutions powered by neural networks and intelligent vision systems. To demonstrate our software’s versatility and AI-skills we set up a quick showcase with a simple IP-camera and a single board computer installed in the backyard of one our company’s founders. The result: a cool bird detector and classification application!
