SolveTech provides unique thickness and basis weight gauges to the nonwoven market.
Our proprietary technology is specially suited for measuring nonwoven material due to its unique design characteristics. We can measure materials both in the lab or live on the production line.
Due to the rough and nonuniform nature of nonwovens, our technology takes an average over a given area specified by the customer.

Great for measuring any non-conductive nonwoven material such as diaper material, fiberglass, cloth, bandages, and fabric and showing material uniformity. Our systems also excel at measuring foam uniformity or porous materials like membranes. Additionally, we can measure non-conductive coatings and adhesives on nonwoven materials.

The following gauging systems are available for Nonwoven applications:
Off-Line Testing:
Precision ProfilerTM
The Precision Profiler allows you to measure uniformity of cross web or down web strips of material for quality testing and process studies. This unit is targeted for materials that are less than 0.1 inches thick. The device averages the measurement over a given area which helps to eliminate noise while still providing high resolution.
On-Line Production Gauging:
Single/Dual Channel Gauging System
Affordable on-line gauge to measure along the edges of your web without contacting the material. Unique measurement footprints with large areas are available. These units can be customized to meet the needs of your application.
MultiChannel Array Gauge
The MultiChannel Array Gauge can be used to continuously monitor nonwoven webs on the production line. Great for a quick and easy reading of the nonwoven cross web profile as well as down web behavior.
