Mate Gauge
for Tension Levelling Lines
Uninterrupted thickness and width monitoring on your tension levelling 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 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.
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 ?
Dealing with optimizing the RTL process can be a daunting task with a continuous display of the thickness being achieved. With Mate Gauge operators can adjust the tension levels and roller positions based on this feedback to achieve the desired thickness uniformity.
