Web Gauging | Web Gauging System | Thickness Measurement

Boosting product quality and process efficiency with effective thickness and basis weight measurement

For manufacturers operating continuous web processes, an effective web gauging system is the key to meeting stringent product quality specifications with high efficiency. Offering continuous, in-line thickness and basis weight measurement, such systems help enable the precise process control required for competitive economics. The diversity of products that benefit from such technology is considerable; from extruded plastic films and coatings to food packaging, building materials, non-wovens and Li-ion batteries. Tailoring solutions to both product and process requirements is critical.
