Following the launch of its turnkey CURTAIN multi-head measuring solution at K-Messe, Hammer-IMS is now introducing RETEC Instruments as its distributor in Belgium. The thickness and weight measurements of Hammer-IMS are complementary to the measuring instruments supplied by RETEC Instruments to numerous production plants in Belgium. Existing and new customers of RETEC Instruments will benefit from the collaboration by being able to take advantage of the electronic ‘M-Rays’ solutions of Hammer-IMS to replace existing nuclear or radioactive measurement systems. The new technology will be of particular interest to the plastics and paper industries, as well as for a number of construction applications (e.g. insulation, gyproc sheeting), areas in which both companies have an active presence.
As a fresh member of the DSP Valley Organization, Hammer-IMS will take the floor today in Leuven for a short pitch on its activities. Our general manager Noel Deferm will introduce you to the M-Ray technology and Hammer-IMS's vision on new industrial measuring concepts. DSP Valley members are welcome in the Option offices at Gaston Geenslaan 11 in 3001 Leuven, 29 November, 15.30h.
Our Marveloc 602 product family runs in our own industrial solutions. We branded these solutions the CURTAIN-series. Come and see this Marveloc-CURTAIN product at K-Messe in Düsseldorf till Wednesday 26 October.
Only eight months after its incorporation and investment capital round, Hammer-IMS exhibits on K-Messe, the world’s premier plastics industry trade fair in Düsseldorf. At this occasion, Hammer-IMS of Flanders demonstrates its new turnkey CURTAIN multi-head solution for measuring thickness and weight in production lines. Co-founders Noël Deferm and Tom Redant of the KU Leuven spin-off company developed a complete portfolio of revolutionary measuring solutions based on ‘M-Rays’ – electromagnetic millimeter waves. The turnkey systems have been performing trial runs at international paper producers and manufacturers of plastic sheets and films, composites and many other materials. Hammer-IMS offers a secure, ecologic and easy-to-install alternative for today’s nuclear measuring equipment. Come and watch the Hammer-IMS system in action on K-Messe – Hall 11 Booth E64.
With the K-Messe coming up, it’s great to see Hammer-IMS being featured full-page in the September issue of EPPM magazine. An elegant way to introduce Hammer-IMS and its enabling measuring solutions to plastic processors in Europe and beyond.
Our Hammer-IMS innovation has been accepted in the ‘Hall of Fame’ of Kunststoffen 2016 in Veldhoven, Netherlands. Come and watch this innovation, and visit the Hammer-IMS stand.
Nele Reynders joins Hammer-IMS as senior R&D engineer. We interviewed Nele to give her a proper introduction.
Hammer-IMS will show its recent innovations at the Düsseldorfer Kunststoff Messe 2016 (www.k-online.com). This event is organized every three years, and is considered as the leading fair for plastics innovations in the world. Come and visit us in Hall 11, booth E64! It is a great venue where we can meet each other and talk about your specific plastics production application.
On the booth you will see a new integrated solution. It consists of a CURTAIN mechanical frame and one or more Marveloc 602 systems for thickness and basis-weight measurement. The turn-key solution is an in-line solution performing simultaneous measurements in cross-machine direction. Find out more
Hammer-IMS is a Belgian high-tech company in the field of industrial sensing. Hammer-IMS supplies highly accurate and contactless measurement systems based on the disruptive technology of millimeter waves. Hammer-IMS is now setting up partnerships with resellers in order to support its international expansion.
Based on millimeter waves, Hammer-IMS developed new systems for measuring thickness and weight in production lines of sheets and films. This innovative electromagnetic technology is seen as a powerful alternative for today’s nuclear measuring equipment, which governments want to gradually ban. Furthermore the technology offers up to micron level accuracy on industrial production floors, measuring both transparent and opaque in any color as well as rough & shiny surfaces.
(English language) The ambitions of the two engineers-entrepreneurs Noël Deferm and Tom Redant of start-up Hammer-IMS are (rightly) big: '"We want to make our non-nuclear millimeter waves based technology the golden standard in our application domains. The market is ready, because "Europe discourages the use of today's nuclear measuring equipment".
Corda Campus Hasselt – On June 10, Hammer-IMS welcomed around 70 guests in the PhiliCorda room to celebrate the launch of the new spin-off. During the event, Noël Deferm (general manager) and Tom Redant (technical & product manager) unveiled their plans for their non-nuclear Marveloc measurement technology, which is based on millimeter waves. Following their presentation, Professor Patrick Reynaert (KU Leuven), Kurt Hensen (CEO of T&M Solutions, now Averna), and Lieven De Jonge (Head of Smart Manufacturing, LRM) addressed the attendees. Both founders developed new systems for measuring thickness and weight in production lines, which are currently being tested by international producers of paper, plastic sheets and films, composites, textiles, glass wool, and other materials.
