Measure Continuously.
Slash Your Variation by 50%.

Improving quality and reducing waste in the lead-acid industry for 10+ years

We build the technology you need to cut your plate thickness variation in half. The result is less waste, more consistent quality, and better battery performance.

The 3 Steps To Full Automatic Control

  • Step 1. Mate Gauge Benchtop Off Line
    • Take non-contact thickness measurements without retrofitting your plate pasting lines. The Benchtop is plug-and-play, so you can put it anywhere, and has minimal maintenance requirements.

  • Step 2. Mate Gauge 3 In Line
    • Make thickness your primary control specification. Mate Gauge 3 is for teams that want accurate thickness measurements for all incoming plates, not just a sample.

  • Step 3. Paste Saver Automatic Control
    • Remove operator error completely with the Paste Saver. Use real-time data from Mate Gauge 3 to automatically adjust your pasting machines for nearly perfect pasted plates.

Improve Accuracy by more than 100%…

The Co-efficient Difference

Imagine being able to fully automate your pasting lines and obtain accurate and reliable thickness readings in real-time. You’d never have to remove pasted plates from your lines to weigh them. And your operators would be saved from harmful lead exposure.

Non-contact laser thickness readings are far more accurate and practical than manual measurements. You can take readings at a very high frequency on cured or wet paste without having to worry about dirtying your tools or displacing the paste. But benefits of automatic control aren’t limited to the factory floor.

With fully automatic control, you can produce higher-quality plates, reduce scrap, and ultimately design better batteries. If you can improve your confidence in the measurements you take on the floor, you can design batteries with tighter tolerances and higher performance.
