The combined expertise of our highly qualified employees has formed the foundation of our globally unique product portfolio for over 40 years:
Non-contact measuring systems that are not only a decisive step ahead of the times, but also ahead of the competition thanks to their innovative measuring methods and individual designs. A market advantage that we can only achieve and permanently guarantee in close cooperation with our customers as partners.
The concrete and very individual problems of our customers are our challenges for constant new developments of highly developed technology which, thanks to precise and at the same time robust mechanics, withstands the toughest conditions.
Strong partners from research and technology complete our competence team. The result: precision systems at the highest level for optimally monitored processes in hot rolling mills, cold rolling mills, process lines and in metal service centres.
World Market Leader
in Measuring Systems
Productivity, flexibility, material and energy efficiency and, of course, cost-effectiveness are essential criteria for manufacturing process design in the steel, non-ferrous metal and aluminium industries.
In order to meet the ever-increasing quality demands on steel, aluminium and non-ferrous metal products, ever more precise and complex measuring technology is required to ensure compliance with the smallest tolerance values. The market demands precision systems that can not only be used for different materials and material thicknesses, but that also function digitally, networked and automated, as well as being able to be individualised in their hardware and software and integrated into existing process sequences.
IMS measuring systems are based on radiometric, electro- acoustic, magnetic or optical measuring methods, which are rounded off by force measuring systems, control measuring systems and a high-performance quality management system.
The result is an impressive variety of high-precision, perfectly coordinated and customisable measuring systems for the fulfilment of all relevant measuring tasks, which is unique in this scope worldwide.
Today, more than 4,500 non-contact IMS measuring systems are an integral part of the production equipment of:
- hot rolling mills
- cold rolling mills
- process lines
- continous casting plants
- tube rolling mills
- metal service centres
all over the world. Systems that measure precisely even under the toughest environmental conditions, show the results obtained visually in a clear manner and, last but not least, impress with their long service life.
