How MG-CLS performs cast lead thickness monitoring


1. Strip Scanning Begins

The Strips App continuously scans the incoming lead strip.

2. Real-Time Cross-Sectional Measurement

The laser sensors move across the strip, capturing thickness data at multiple points.

3. Live Data Processing

The system calculates key parameters such as thickness profile, min/max thickness, standard deviation, and width.

4. Instant Display & Analysis

Data is visualized on an easy-to-read dashboard, providing operators with real-time insights.

5. Automated Alerts & Reports

Any deviations from set tolerances trigger alerts, allowing for quick adjustments.

Mate Gauge solves your challenges in cast lead thickness measurement

 

Are you struggling with inconsistent lead strip thickness and delayed adjustments? Waiting until the end of a production run to measure thickness leads to wasted materials and inefficient process control. Manual adjustments can be slow, reactive, and prone to overcompensation—resulting in strips that are too thick and costly.

Mate Gauge turnkey solution eliminates these challenges by integrating non-contact laser measurement technology, designed for lead strip casting. Our system delivers real-time thickness monitoring, allowing operators to make immediate adjustments with intuitive displays and controls. Instead of relying on guesswork or delayed corrections, you gain instant, precise data for improved quality control.

With automated slitter speed adjustments, MG-CLS ensures accurate lead strip thickness control without manual intervention. This reduces waste, improves process stability, and enhances production efficiency—delivering a smarter, more cost-effective approach to lead strip casting measurement.

Take Full Control of Your Cast Lead Thickness Measurement

Reduce Waste. Improve Consistency. Automate Control


Stop relying on delayed, manual thickness checks. Upgrade your lead strip casting process with smarter, data-driven control and see how automated cast lead thickness monitoring can transform your production!
