Automate your Lead Acid Battery Production Line!
Measure strips or plates without stopping your line. Stop wedging as it happens. Decrease active material waste. Reduce standard deviation. Protect staff from lead exposure. Mate Gauge's team of integration engineers can add automation to practically any new or existing lead acid battery production line.
Automate your production line and start building better batteries!
Measure with Accuracy
Laser-based, non-contact measurement allows for high-speed, ultra-accurate sampling across the plate or strip - even in the toughest environments!
Decrease Waste
Measuring active material enables you to monitor the amount of paste you use and immediately make changes further up the line to return you to spec.
Get Rich Data
From mean thickness and width to rugosity - know it all, all the time, with real-time display, historical reporting and integrated, shared databases.

CASE STUDY: Solving thickness measurement challenges on continuous casting lines with Mate Gauge
"The MG-CLS with closed loop operation simulates a near-perfect operator taking frequent high-accuracy measurements and making the exact required adjustments to casting speed to lock the strip thickness as closely as possible to the target."
Improve the Production of Flat Goods
Manufacturing lines that depend on accurate thickness, variation and texture will see massive process improvements by integrating with Mate Gauge. Manufacturers of flat goods (for example, plywood, flooring or other forestry products, rolled steel and other metals, plastic production, experimental films, sheets and materials, and consumer goods) are ideal candidates for a Mate Gauge solution.
Steel Manufacture Thickness Measurement
Immediately detect when your steel goes from off-gauge to on-gauge material.
No more guessing or stopping for manual measurements. With our touchscreen display, you always know when your head or tail end needs to be cut.
Forestry and Consumer Product Thickness Measurement
Precise and continuous measurement solutions for sanding, planning, and finishing lines.
Our non-contact laser gauge solutions measure the thickness throughout the length of your boards or sheets, reducing waste and ensuring a high quality, consistent product.
Lithium-Ion Battery Production
Never stop your line to measure.
Mate Gauge delivers the high-accuracy measurements required by ultra-thin films.
Protect your foil from bend damage caused by micrometers and ensure reliable results from start to finish.
