Inline quality and automatic die control at ThermHex Waben

ThermHex Waben is using a non-nuclear and non-radioactive quality control machine of Hammer-IMS. The three-sensor inline scanning system measures the grammage of thermoplastic composite honeycomb panels and polypropylene honeycomb cores. In addition, the system with high measurement gap automatically adjusts the production's extrusion die to compensate for grammage variations. The innovative Hammer-IMS machine controls the production process better and eliminates human-related errors in the products of ThermHex Waben.

Hammer-IMS capitalizes on machine vision and artificial intelligence as an additional eye in quality control

Hammer-IMS makes progress in machine vision and artificial intelligence as an additional eye in quality control of textiles, plastics and other inline produced products. Recently, Hammer-IMS engineers, in collaboration with the PXL Electronics and ICT campus in Hasselt (Toon Sterckx), developed camera-assisted defect detection based on machine learning. This feature will be a key part in the newest generation of Hammer-IMS’s Edge-Vision-4.0-CURTAIN products. The feature distinguishes defects and classifies these into multiple defect categories. The robust AI-based feature for inline quality control will soon be available, delivering state-of-the-art visual inspection.

Technology offspring Hammer-IMS prepares interns to excel in a multidisciplinary way in the job market.

'Hammer-IMS Internship Fellow' certificate for recent graduates sets a new tone in the Flemish job market. When Hammer-IMS settled on the Corda technology campus in Hasselt in 2016, founders Noël Deferm and Tom Redant had no idea that five years later, they would be shipping a large yellow machine to all corners of the world every month. "Our bright yellow color is our trademark," says Hammer-IMS. "In recent years, we have seen our company evolve from developing a single technical component to full-fledged machines. Large international textile and plastic groups view our products with great interest and often choose our machines over those of established German companies. Our cocktail of technological passion and staying grounded in the market is essential for entering a market and increasing our share. We want to pass this on to new young professionals."
