Sensor systems, components, measurement and testing services for non-destructive testing (NDT) in quality assurance

Test methods are key technologies for innovations. They ensure economic benefits by guaranteed quality, optimum yield and short innovation cycles while providing quality parameters in real time. Particularly in lightweight engineering in the automotive and aviation industries or in the energy sector, sensor systems hold a key position because numerous legal obligations regulate the admission of safety relevant materials and structures.

Fraunhofer IKTS with its electromagnetic test systems and test services provides innovative technologies, which enable a broad usage of high-performance materials and set new standards in quality assurance.

Attractive license-based business models for the EddyCus® – high-frequency eddy current technique, with which Fraunhofer IKTS holds the technology leadership in carbon textile testing, are part of a broad range of offers of electromagnetic NDT test systems and methods.
