Safe Airbag Deployment

In car accidents, the airbag can often save lives. While driving, it lies well hidden under a high-quality plastic surface that covers large parts of the cockpit: the slush skin.

We have developed a hand-guided terahertz measurement system that enables individual and non-destructive quality control of slush skins.

Digital Twins and Terahertz Waves Ensure Quality

The Fraunhofer ITWM will again be present at the international trade fair for quality assurance »Control« in Stuttgart. From May 3 to 6, our researchers show their testing systems for assuring product quality in industrial environments in hall 6, booth 6301.

Upcoming Events

An important point in our work is the exchange with colleagues about the latest developments in research and the sharing of our results. For this reason, we regularly travel to trade fairs and conferences and present our institute at a booth or in a lecture.

Annual Conference DGZfP 2024

The German Society for Non-Destructive Testing conference offers opportunities for a professional exchange on current developments in non-destructive testing in research, development and application. Our expert Dr. Joachim Jonuscheit from the »Materials Characterization and Testing« department will be on site with the presentation »Terahertz Measurement Technology for Inline Coating Inspection of Battery Foils«.

Fair, Seoul / May 27, 2024 - May 31, 2024

WCNDT 2024

Our experts Dr. Joachim Jonuscheit and Andreas Keil from the »Materials Characterization and Testing« department will be at the twentieth World Conference on Non-Destructive Testing (WCNDT) in Incheon, South Korea, with the presentations »Inspection of Dielectric Composites with Millimeter and Terahertz Waves« and »Millimeter Wave and Terahertz Imaging for Inspections in the Field of Cultural Heritage«. In addition to exhibitions, lectures, meetings and workshops will also be held.

Stuttgart / Congress / 18.06. – 20.06.2024
