Mate Gauge
for Galvanizing Lines
Uninterrupted thickness and width monitoring of galvanized steel coil.
Unlock total control with our turnkey solution, featuring Virtual Micrometer + Scanning Frame + Measuring App.
Virtual Micrometer
All the capabilities of a standard micrometer – but on your production line – letting you measure continuously, faster and in multiple ways.
Simply set your desired locations (centered or custom) specify the number of Vmics measurements needed, anvil sizes for each, and press start. Instantly receive comprehensive thickness information and other KPIs on your dashboard.
How it works on your lines
Mate Gauge technology is built around a continuously-scanning Virtual Micrometer. A C-frame equipped with laser sensors moves continuously across the strip, providing a full cross-sectional thickness measurement. Alternatively, it can be positioned at specific locations to measure thickness at the edges or centre of the coil, to match real-world micrometer measuring, as if an operator was doing it by hand.
Just faster. More often. And without stopping your lines.
Case Study: Galvanized Steel
Mate Gauge has successfully shipped its largest MG5 laser thickness measurement system for a leading North American steel manufacturer, featuring a custom horizontal C-frame configuration.
