Thickness measurement for industrial production processes

Measure material thickness precisely. Assure quality. Use resources in a targeted way.

Material thickness determines product quality, further processing and material usage. Even small deviations can lead to additional processing steps, increased material allowances or rejects. With GreCon measurement technology, manufacturers monitor material thickness precisely and detect deviations at an early stage. Our measuring systems deliver reliable data for quality assurance and process optimisation – contact or non-contact, directly in the production line or in the laboratory.

The right thickness. Less material. More process control.

Different materials, manufacturing processes and quality requirements call for suitable measuring methods. What matters is detecting thickness deviations in good time and using the measured values for targeted process optimisation.

GreCon offers precise measuring systems for continuous inline monitoring and automated laboratory testing.

  • Reliably assure product quality: detect thickness deviations at an early stage, monitor specified tolerances and support consistently high product quality.
  • Use material more efficiently: control material allowances, reduce them during sanding, for example, and avoid unnecessary material consumption.
  • Control production processes more effectively: use measured values directly from production to monitor processes and, with the appropriate connection, control them in a targeted way.

Precise thickness measurement for different requirements

Material properties, measuring position and production conditions determine the most suitable measuring method. GreCon offers a range of technologies for this – from continuous inline measurement to automated quality testing in the laboratory.

Inline thickness measurement

GreCon THICKNESSCONTROL

GreCon THICKNESSCONTROL measures material thickness continuously during the production process. Depending on the application, contact roller measuring heads or non-contact laser sensors are used.

The system detects thickness deviations at an early stage and delivers precise measurement data for quality control and process control. This makes it possible to monitor manufacturing tolerances, reduce sanding allowances and optimise production processes in a targeted way.

GreCon FOAMCONTROL monitors the material continuously and without contact during the production process, revealing density deviations and inhomogeneities such as voids.

Non-contact thickness measurement with radar

GreCon FOAMCONTROL

GreCon FOAMCONTROL continuously measures the thickness and weight per unit area of foam and plastic materials during the production process. The measurement is carried out without contact using radar technology. From the measured values, the system also calculates the material density.

This makes material deviations visible at an early stage. Manufacturers can reduce safety margins, use raw materials more efficiently and continuously monitor product quality.

Automated board measurement

GreCon BOARDCONTROL XL

The intelligent measuring system GreCon BOARDCONTROL XL records the thickness, weight per unit area and width of board materials and calculates their bulk density – in a single automated measuring run directly at the production line.

Installed close to production, the measuring system delivers reproducible results without time-consuming sample preparation. In this way, it supports quality assurance and enables rapid feedback to production.
