At LIMAB UK we understand how important it is for companies within the extrusion industry to have reliable in-process measurement systems. Whether you are producing medical tubing or other types of hose products it is essential to measure key parameters such as diameter, ovality, wall thickness and length.
The consequences of having inconsistent poor control of dimensions during the manufacture of tubes or hoses can increase manufacturing costs and lead to dissatisfied customers, which can very quickly lead to a lack of confidence in your ability to fulfil your customers’ needs and potentially damage your brands’ reputation.
By seamlessly integrating our range of laser gauges into your production workflow, you can precisely measure diameter, ovality, wall thickness, concentricity and product length. Capturing measurement data, product information and other variables at key junctures in the process, facilitating a comprehensive end-to-end inspection.
Utilising our process controllers, production teams can effortlessly monitor real-time dimensional data, statistical process control metrics and trends, ensuring the maintenance of stricter product specifications.
Through closed-loop control integrated with the extrusion line and seamless compatibility with other networked systems, you can uphold product precision, enhance product quality and achieve significant material cost savings.

The Ultrascan DSP Pro uses Digital Signal Processing (DSP) intelligence to set the standard in ultrasonic tube wall thickness and concentricity measurement.
The AccuScan 5000 Series two-axis laser micrometer set the standard in diameter and ovality measurement, producing high-speed measurements at 2400 scans per second per axis.
The AccuScan 6000 Series quad-axis laser micrometer provides up to 100% ovality accuracy and the highest flaw detection accuracy for diameter, ovality and flaw detection measurement.
The AccuScan Pro Series is the latest single-axis laser micrometer from the BETA LaserMike product range, delivering accurate online diameter measurements.
The BenchMike Pro gauge is the industry’s leading off-line tube ID/OD/Wall measurement system and general-purpose benchtop laser micrometer.
Thyristor Power Controllers provide efficient, reliable and precise control of electrical heating, which is absolutely essential in many industrial thermal processes including industrial furnaces, IR drying, glass manufacturing, semiconductors, heat treatment, melting, drying and forming.

“The reliability and accuracy of the moisture gauges are never in doubt and we have relied upon them for many years. LIMAB UK has always been on hand to ensure we achieve the best out of our equipment.”
“LIMAB Ltd has proven themselves an indispensable ally in improving product quality and process. Their continuous measurement and monitoring systems both ‘flag up’ and enable quicker reaction times to production issues, reducing waste and ensuring only high-quality product is received by the customer”
“We needed a reliable and accurate system for measuring our panels, we liked LIMAB’s non-contact technology and was our preferred choice. We have been very impressed with the results and this has given gains in production efficiency and product quality. We can highly recommend LIMAB as a supplier.”
“I knew that some of the other Wienerberger sites had already purchased some NDC PrediktIR moisture gauges and I had heard that they were really improving the production processes and quality control procedures. I met up with some of the LIMAB team at ClayTech, and I was immediately impressed with their expertise and what they had to offer. After discussions with NDC Product Specialist, we went ahead and purchased four NDC PrediktIR gauges. The gauges have really helped us to monitor and have greater control of our water input system and we are already getting some really useful data. I would certainly purchase from LIMAB again in the future.”
“We got a call from John Miller from LIMAB UK back in 2018, just as we were finding our existing moisture gauge was failing. We discussed the possibility of replacing our existing gauge with an NDC gauge and invited John to come in for a site visit and to subsequently quote us for a PrediktIR. We were very impressed with John’s product knowledge and we decided to proceed with the purchase. We have found the PrediktIR to be very reliable and we are very happy with it.”
“We found that we were actually losing a lot of money due to not having the correct moisture content in our bricks, so back in January 2019, we decided to look into implementing some non-contact NIR moisture gauges to enable us to monitor this more effectively. We contacted LIMAB UK and installed two NDC Technologies’ PrediktIR moisture gauges in our priority clay prep. area. I am very happy with the PrediktIR gauges and having the ability to constantly monitor the moisture content has massively improved our quality control processes. We were impressed with the evident product knowledge and expertise demonstrated by the team at LIMAB UK and the customer service and aftersales support was great!”
We believe our customers should deal with an expert from the point of enquiry to project completion. Therefore, we will appoint you a product specialist, so you have continuity and a single point of contact. They will be your guide, help identify the best solution for your particular application and be with you through to successful implementation.
