Mate Gauge
for Slitting Lines
Uninterrupted thickness and width monitoring on your slitting line. 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.
Mate Gauge can be installed either before or after the slitting operation. Pre-slitting measurement ensures that the incoming material meets specifications, while post-slitting measurement verifies the accuracy of the slitting operation including strip width.
Mate Gauge understands your process and challenges
Is your steel production experiencing common issues like:
inconsistent quality control
material wastage due to over-thickness
disruptive downstream equipment jams
During the slitting process, operators encounter challenges in achieving the right thickness standards due to incoming material thicknesses and variations. The coil have been processed to the proper thickness, and the operator must be trusted to load the correct coil to match the work order.
The advantages of integrating Mate Gauge
into your slitting lines
