Terahertz Sensors are 100% Human Safe

Terahertz sensors are 100% human-safe, non-nuclear, non-ionizing, and widely applicable when factory floor metrology and process control require rugged industrial solutions.

Turnkey, Application-Matched Solutions

Accommodating a wide range of specialties, pipe diameters, and coating structures is simple with standard solutions available.

Sensor Technology

Multiple Measurements Every Second

We provide expert help choosing from the following sensor technologies to find the one that’s right for your application:

  • Robotic Deployment: For wide OD range, corrugated, spiral-weld, and 3LC. High lateral resolution of weld-seam coating structures through automatic focus stabilization using the Quad Plus environmental THz probe.
  • Pitch Scanner: For long runs of standard pipe with minimal OD range. Quad Plus PipeGuard solution is designed and commissioned for your specific process requirements and integrated into your existing infrastructure.

Software & Reporting

The best software on the market today.

The software uses proven control algorithms to reduce startup waste, enable you to run closer to targets, and save on material used in the process.
How does it work? The software interprets data readings and presents operators with easy-to-understand information from the production batch. This allows for real-time identification of production issues as the line is running. Data is also stored for further reporting and analysis after production.
Intuitive reporting tools allow you to filter data down to the control zone. You can also compare scans to identify products that do not meet your quality standards so you can pull them before they are sent out. Plus, real-time displays and reports can be customized, allowing you to focus on the data that matters most to your operations.

Education & Training

Premium Installation, Training, and Support

You need more than just the hardware and software to assemble your gauging system. You need a partner who will be available to you throughout the entire process, from the initial planning all the way through to after-installation support.
Our training will ensure that your systems are optimized and your operators are educated. We cover essential operation mechanics, calibration, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting steps. Plus, the Quad Plus support team is available 24/7 to answer your calls.

Improve Your Operations with a Pipe Gauging Solution

Seamlessly integrate state-of-the-art technology into your existing system to get more from raw materials, reduce waste, and improve production yields.

gauging system maximize raw material

Maximize Raw Materials

Get more from less.

Extreme precision means significant savings over time. For example, in tire production, a typical plant might allow as much as a 0.025 reduction in gauge, resulting in over $1.2 million in annual savings.

gauging system reduce waste

Reduce Waste

Waste not, want not.

Throwing away materials means throwing away money. Defects deplete resources such as raw material, labor, energy, and time with no value to customers. Identify defects in real time to correct issues sooner and minimize waste.

gauging systems improve production

Improve Production

Enjoy higher yields.

Correcting problems and product defects before they occur means your line runs for longer and produces more. Fewer serious interruptions and less downtime mean better efficiency and happier customers.
