Fair, Stuttgart / April 23, 2024 - April 26, 2024

Control – International Trade Fair for Quality Assurance

Webseite Control 2024

Hall 8 – Booth 8201

With Control, suppliers and users have a specialist event at their disposal which illuminates all aspects in theory and presents the current global range of usable technologies, processes, products and system solutions for industrial quality assurance in practice.

We will be on site with experts from our departments »Materials Characterization and Testing« and »Image Processing« at the joint booth of Fraunhofer Vision.

Our Contributions

Department »Image Processing«

Surface Inspection

In many areas, the quality of a product depends on the quality of its surface. It is not easy to find a generally valid measure of quality for all the different surfaces. The MASC (Modular Algorithms for Surface Control) software system was developed to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications. It comprises a large number of ready-to-use tools and system components. The components are arranged in a modular structure and provide a suitable basis for fast and flexible solutions for almost any individual task in the field of surface inspection.

Analysis and Modeling of Micro- and Nanostructures

Another focus of our work is the analysis and modeling of micro- and nanostructures of materials using image data. The customer receives a 3D image, a geometric analysis, a model and a simulation of material properties from a single source. The software products of the MAVI family (MAVI - Modular Algorithms for Volume Images) are specialized in the quantitative analysis of three-dimensional images, e.g. from microcomputer tomography.

Robot-assisted Terahertz System for coating thickness measurement

Department »Materials Characterization and Testing«

Terahertz Measurement Technology

The department designs and builds turnkey terahertz time domain systems for generating, detecting and analyzing broadband terahertz radiation. The range of applications extends from robot-mounted coating thickness measurement systems and high-resolution spectroscopy to measurement technology for ultra-fast electronics, in which extremely fast electro-optical converters and ultra-fast optics are combined.

Optical Measurement Technology

Activities outside the terahertz spectral range are united under this heading. The focus of activities lies in the application of the following methods:

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Hyperspectral imaging
Spectroscopy (UV - VIS - NIR - SWIR, LIBS)

These techniques are mainly used to measure the thickness of metallic or semi-transparent layers and to identify substances.

TeraTec – Application Center Terahertz Technology

The Application Center for Terahertz Technology provides customers from industry and research with the expertise of the Fraunhofer experts at the department.

Terahertz radiation has great potential for materials testing. At the TeraTec application center, companies can gain initial experience with the still young terahertz technology. The radiation penetrates materials and makes invisible defects visible.

Impressions of Past Years at CONTROL

Our department »Materials Characterization and Testing« is concerned with non-destructive testing of coatings and composite materials. One example of application is the inspection of radomes.

Our »Image Processing« department develops application-specific solutions for complex tasks in surface inspection. A particular highlight is our robot-supported path planning, which can be used to find defects on surfaces.
