More about our technology: How it works
Measure your strip or plates on or off the line
Add a Mate Gauge laser thickness measuring system to your existing line and automatically achieve target thickness while reducing scrap and avoiding user error. Our non-contact laser gauges provide accurate, repeatable, and reliable measurements by integrating directly into your new or existing lines.

Non-contact thickness gauges consistently outperform manual measurement tools
Manual thickness measurement tools, such as calipers and micrometers, are widely used primarily due to their low cost and familiarity. However, more and more companies are turning to modern laser gauging techniques as a proven way to increase the efficiency and quality of their processes and products.
Measure strips or plates without stopping your line. Stop wedging as it happens. Decrease active material waste. Reduce standard deviation.

Measure with Accuracy
Laser-based, non-contact measurement allows for high-speed, ultra-accurate sampling across the plate or strip - even in the toughest environments!
Decrease Waste
Measuring active material enables you to monitor the amount of paste you use and immediately make changes further up the line to return you to spec.
Get Rich Data
From mean thickness and width to rugosity - know it all, all the time, with real-time display, historical reporting and integrated, shared databases.
Thickness variations will be a thing of the past when you add the Paste Saver to your lines. It’s proven to cut thickness variations by at 50%.
Our Paste Saver optimization unlocks the true potential of your pasting lines, eliminating low-accuracy manual wrench adjustments. It’s designed as a system upgrade, not a replacement, so it works with virtually any pasting machine. The installation of two Gauges in parallel ensures 100% even thickness across your entire plate profile.
Of course our non-contact, thickness gauges can be installed on brand new pasting lines. We collaborate closely with pasting machine manufacturers to ensure compatibility with their new machines.
