Iranian Firm Makes Device to Optimize Production Process, Reduce Waste in Textile Industry

“The development and production of advanced quality control equipment is one of the activities of our company, and its main product is a hardware thickness gauge with high accuracy and fast response that can measure thicknesses of 200 microns and above at high speed,” Mohsen Mojahedpour, the managing director of the technological company stationed at the incubator center of the Islamic Azad University’s Qazvin branch, told ANA.

“This device is used in the textile industry for quality control and plays an important role in optimizing production processes, reducing waste, and increasing productivity. By digitizing thickness measurement and providing accurate and real-time data, this product can help improve product quality and reduce production costs, which is directly in line with the goals of the digital economy and industry,” he added.

“We have plans to enter regional and international markets, specially in countries where textile industries and advanced materials production are active, including neighboring countries, Central Asia, and Europe, which require strict quality control,” Mojahedpour said.

A thickness gauge is an essential quality assurance tool when anodizing, galvanizing and applying zinc coating to metallic surfaces. A thickness gauge also is used to measure body paint thickness and uniformity on pre-owned cars, revealing repainted spots, identifying hidden damages and exposing undisclosed accidents. This information is important when determining the actual value of a used car. In addition, certain types of thickness gauges can measure wall thickness and determine the hardness of metals, plastics and glass.

For measuring powder coating thickness, a good rule of thumb is to use a magnetic or eddy current thickness gauge on powder-coated metal substrates. Use an ultrasonic thickness gauge on powder-coated non-metal substrates like plastic and wood.
