MG5 for Slitting Lines: Slit Strip Thickness and Width Measurement Made Simple
The MG5 system is a flexible solution for slitting line thickness measurement and slit strip width monitoring, built to meet the demands of high-speed metal processing lines. With multiple stroke lengths available (24 in, 48 in, 80 in, and 86 in), MG5 adapts easily to different slitting line configurations.
By enabling real-time slitting line thickness monitoring, MG5 ensures each strip stays within spec—reducing scrap, optimizing output, improving quality control, and supporting continuous operation without manual checks.

How MG5 enables automated slit strip thickness measurement on your line
Seamless installation for slitting lines
- Easy Mounting & Integration – The MG5 system installs directly onto slitting lines with minimal modifications, making it simple to upgrade existing operations without costly downtime or reconfiguration.
- PLC & Network Compatibility – MG5 integrates with your control system to provide real-time slit strip thickness and width measurement, enabling operators to react instantly and reduce off-spec production.
- Robust & Scalable Design – With stroke lengths of 24 in, 48 in, 80 in, and 86 in, MG5 adapts to various line widths, helping you maintain tight tolerances across all slit strips and meet demanding customer specs.
- Automated Operation – Continuous, hands-off monitoring minimizes manual checks and errors, reducing scrap, saving material, and boosting operations efficiency.
Step Up Your Game
How MG5 performs slit strip 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 slit strip thickness measurement
Variation in incoming coil thickness ?
Operators rely on correctly loaded coils, but thickness inconsistencies can go undetected until it’s too late. Mate Gauge provides real-time slitting line thickness measurement before slitting begins, verifying that incoming material matches work order specifications and reducing the risk of running incorrect stock.
Inaccurate strip dimensions after slitting?
Post-slitting issues often include uneven strip thickness or off-spec widths. Mate Gauge verifies slit strip thickness and width immediately after slitting, ensuring each strip conforms to dimensional requirements and reducing scrap rates.
Traditional manual inspection limitations?
Spot checks miss variations and slow down production. Mate Gauge automates slit strip width and thickness measurement across the full coil, giving operators full visibility with no need for constant manual verification.
Lack of dimensional traceability across coil width?
Customers need to know that the material they receive matches their ordered specifications. Mate Gauge tracks thickness across the entire coil width, enabling data traceability and improving customer confidence in product quality.
