Why add a benchtop Mate Gauge to your process?
It’s the perfect first step toward a fully automatic in-line gauging and control system. It gives all stakeholders (including product designers, manufacturing engineers, QA, and operators) a chance to gain full confidence in laser thickness measurements and understand their thickness specifications.
- Laser sensors on the top and bottom capture the entire plate profile, including texture
- They’re lightning-fast and incredibly thorough! A typical plate can be scanned in only 3 seconds and captures a thousand individual data points across the surface
- Consistently accurate measurement with NIST traceable calibration
- Flexible and portable. Set them up anywhere – no installation required

Non-contact thickness gauges consistently outperform manual measurement tools
Manual thickness measurement tools, such as calipers and micrometers, are widely used primarily due to their low cost and familiarity.
However, more and more companies are turning to modern laser gauging techniques as a proven way to increase the efficiency and quality of their processes and products.
Ditch your hand-held gauge!

Improve the Production of Flat Goods
Manufacturing lines that depend on accurate thickness, variation and texture will see massive process improvements by integrating with Mate Gauge. Manufacturers of flat goods (for example, plywood, flooring or other forestry products, rolled steel and other metals, plastic production, experimental films, sheets and materials, and consumer goods) are ideal candidates for a Mate Gauge solution.
Steel Manufacture Thickness Measurement
Immediately detect when your steel goes from off-gauge to on-gauge material.
No more guessing or stopping for manual measurements. With our touchscreen display, you always know when your head or tail end needs to be cut.
Forestry and Consumer Product Thickness Measurement
Precise and continuous measurement solutions for sanding, planning, and finishing lines.
Our non-contact laser gauge solutions measure the thickness throughout the length of your boards or sheets, reducing waste and ensuring a high quality, consistent product.
Lithium-Ion Battery Production
Never stop your line to measure.
Mate Gauge delivers the high-accuracy measurements required by ultra-thin films.
Protect your foil from bend damage caused by micrometers and ensure reliable results from start to finish.
4 ways Mate Gauge's technology can integrate and substantially improve your battery production lines.
Simple Substitution
Replace calipers and other measurement tools with a near-process, high-speed, benchtop laser gauge.
Improve What You Have
Add a Mate Gauge (like the MG3) directly onto your production line and measure every plate coming down the line.
Automate Your Lines
Connect your MG3 directly to the pasting machine and automatically output consistent plates with closed-loop control.
Build Better Batteries
High accuracy and minimal variance mean tighter tolerances, enabling creative new battery designs.
