Meet Mate Gauge

Thickness Monitoring,
Solved.



Mate Gauge is the system you'd build if you had unlimited time, budget, and expertise. Except we've already done it.

We combine metrology-grade laser sensors, automation-ready software, and engineering services into a single plug-and-play platform. Designed to cut scrap, tighten specs, and keep your line running with confidence from day one.

Over 200 lines, 25+ countries, 20+ years. Still built in Kanata, Ontario

The Mate Gauge Difference

One Partner. One Platform.
Every Answer.

Most thickness gauge vendors sell you a sensor. We give you hardware, software, and an engineer on the phone. All three, working together, from the first call to the last calibration check.

01

Metrology-Grade Hardware

Non-contact laser sensors built for the dust, vibration, and heat of continuous production. C-frame, O-frame, and extended-reach options to match your line geometry, with resolutions down to 0.5 µm.

02

Purpose-Built Software

mgOS is thickness software, not general-purpose HMI. Virtual micrometers, industry-specific apps, recipe management, alarms, and PLC integration. Ready the day we install it.

03

Engineers, Not Sales Reps

From site visit to commissioning to three-year follow-up, you work with the engineer who knows your line. No account manager handoffs, no support-ticket dead ends.

Industries We Serve

Built for Your Line.

Four industries. Dozens of process configurations. Each with its own physics, environment, and measurement demands. We've engineered solutions for every one of them.

The Dustiest. The Shakiest. The Dampest.

Most gauges live in clean labs. Ours live where the work happens. Mate Gauge is engineered for the environments that break other sensors — vibration from the line, airborne dust and particulate, temperature swings, and ambient moisture. Built to last, built to stay calibrated.

mgOS Platform

One Software Platform.
Every Line.

Built into every Mate Gauge system. Recipes, alarms, PLC integration, and closed-loop control, ready the moment we turn it on.

01

Virtual Micrometer

Instant, micrometer-like readings directly from an inline gauge. Bridges the gap between lab tools and production, so operators can validate thickness on the fly without pulling samples.

02

mgApps

Industry-specific applications for your material. Strips, Gypsum, Veneer, Rolled Lead, Plates, Peak Detection, and more. Each app configures displays, processing, and motion for that material's needs.

03

Recipes

Recipe-based setup stores and recalls product specifications, reducing operator error and ensuring consistency across every run. Changeovers in seconds, not minutes.

04

Warnings & Alarms

Intelligent alarms highlight out-of-spec conditions in real time, so operators can take immediate action and prevent costly scrap or downtime.

05

PLC Integration

Native integration with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and other PLCs. Thickness data flows where it's needed: the HMI, the plant data system, corporate reporting. EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and more.

06

Closed Loop Control

mgOS closes the loop by feeding thickness data back to your process controls, automatically adjusting production parameters to maintain target specifications and reduce variation.

Virtual Micrometer

Your Hand Mic. Upgraded.

Everything your operators know about micrometers, in digital form. Inline. Continuous. Logged automatically.

  • Match Your Process
    Place virtual mics at the same positions you check by hand today.
  • Increase Speed
    Continuous capture in real time. No more pausing the line for spot checks.
  • Eliminate Variability
    Consistent results regardless of operator or shift.
  • Customize Freely
    Configurable anvil size and placement. Centered, repeated, custom, or zones.
  • Automatic Records
    Every measurement logged to CSV. Zero manual data entry.
How We Work

Engineers First. Always.

From the first call to the final commissioning, you work with a Mate Gauge engineer. Not a sales rep.

That's not a slogan. It's the reason 90% of our customers come back for a second system. Our engineers understand your process, spec the right gauge for your line, install and calibrate it themselves, and stay in touch long after the invoice clears.

01

Site Visit

We walk your line. Not a video call, not a form. A real visit to understand your layout, environment, and measurement challenges.

02

Custom Spec

A configuration sized for your material, your line speed, your PLC, and your space. No oversizing. No upselling.

03

Commissioning

On-site calibration with traceable standards. Operator training. Verification scans. You sign off when it's working.

04

Ongoing Support

Direct access to the engineer who knows your install. Remote diagnostics, software updates, and ongoing health checks.

20+

Repeat Customers

One conversation away.

Every stage handled by engineers who know your industry, your line, and your install.
