Are you facing challenges in your 

lead strip casting process? 

Are your operators waiting until the end of a production run to measure thickness?

Are your process adjustments slow and too late to improve strip thickness control?


Do you know if your operators are overcompensating by making the strip too thick, wasting valuable lead?

​Mate Gauge turnkey solution transforms your cast lead strip production 

​

 

Mate Gauge for cast lead strip effectively resolves your challenges by integrating non-contact laser measuring technology - customized for lead strips-with intuitive displays and controls. This system streamlines data collection and displays it in a format that is straightforward for operators to understand, thereby improving both operational efficiency and the quality of the product. Moreover, the Mate Gauge turnkey solution offers an added advantage: it automatically adjusts slitter speeds to regulate strip thickness, eliminating the need for manual intervention by operators.

Lead strip thickness measurement

How it works on your lines

​

Mate Gauge technology is built around a continuously-scanning Virtual Micrometer. A highly-accurate single point measurement is moved continuously across the strip to give the full cross-sectional thickness with thousands of individual thickness measurements organized to match real-world measuring, as if an operator was doing it by hand.

Just faster. More often. And without stopping your lines.

MG-CLS  ​  designed to elevate performance in TBS strip casting machines.
