How MG5 enables automated tension levelling thickness measurement on your line
Seamless installation for tension levelling lines
- Easy Mounting & Integration – The MG5 system installs directly onto tension levelling 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 deliver real-time tension levelling thickness measurement and optional width monitoring, allowing operators to catch deviations early and maintain process stability.
- Robust & Scalable Design – With multiple stroke length options (24 in, 48 in, 80 in, and 86 in), MG5 adapts to different line widths and material profiles, helping you maintain thickness control across a range of coil types and production demands.
- Automated Operation – MG5 enables continuous tension levelling thickness monitoring, reducing manual inspection, cutting material waste, and improving quality consistency—ensuring your output meets customer specifications.
How MG5 performs tension levelling thickness monitoring
1. Strip Scanning Begins
The Gauge&Go App continuously scans the incoming strip on the tension levelling line, capturing real-time data for thickness and width measurement.
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 tension levelling thickness measurement
Inaccurate thickness control leads to off-spec coils and rejected batches?
Without continuous feedback, operators struggle to maintain consistent thickness across the strip. Mate Gauge enables real-time tension levelling thickness measurement, allowing immediate adjustments to tension or roller positions to keep coils within spec.
Manual checks cause production delays and inefficiencies?
Sampling methods slow down the process and fail to provide full coverage. Mate Gauge automates thickness and width measurement across the entire coil, reducing reliance on manual inspections and ensuring every section meets customer specifications.
Inconsistent coil thickness affects downstream processing?
Lack of feedback on thickness variation makes it difficult to fine-tune elongation. Mate Gauge supports elongation control by tracking thickness deviations, helping operators optimize roller setups and produce constant tension-levelled strips.
No clear traceability of coil quality over the entire width
Without data capture, it's difficult to prove compliance or identify process issues post-production. Mate Gauge records and logs coil thickness across the width and length, providing a clear audit trail for quality assurance and customer reporting.
