Hammer-IMS featured in Belgian Trends magazine

We are happy to be featured in the Belgian Trends magazine. The article highlights our radar technology, which is a clean alternative for nuclear and radioactive measuring systems. Our M-Ray measuring solutions measure the basis-weight of nonwovens, fabrics, etc. and the thickness of plastics sheets and films. The solutions even support inline coating weight measurement of opaque materials, where X-Ray systems may fail.

Coating weight measuring: M-Rays, the preferred technology even for opaque materials

This short video shows a few simple experiments explaining why M-Ray technology is a perfect fit for inline coating weight measuring. Opaque materials such as bariumsulphate, titaniumdioxide or calciumcarbonate do not limit the applicability of the technology. M-Ray technology therefor has a significant advantage compared to X-Ray technologies.

New C-frame product range available

Hammer-IMS has developed a new range of C-frames for inline measuring tasks. The C-frame technology enables application of one ore more M-Ray measuring heads. C-frames are more flexible compared to O-frames and work on a broad range of production line widths. The high stand-off distance of our C-frame systems gives a new dimension to the concept of contactless measuring, even for very thick materials exceeding multiple centimeters.
