New Camera Tomography Expands Non-Destructive Testing Capabilities at SKZ
The SKZ Plastics Center has expanded its portfolio of non-destructive testing equipment to include a camera tomography system from TENTA VISION. This new measurement technology enables the non-contact inspection of material and component defects and opens up new possibilities in research, development, and industrial quality assurance.

TENTA VISION’s System Offers Great Potential
TENTA VISION’s camera tomography enables the detection of defects beneath the surface of a component without damaging the test object. This makes the technology particularly well-suited for the analysis of fiber-reinforced composites, adhesive bonds, and innovative approaches to optical leak testing.
Typical applications include the detection of delaminations, air pockets, cracks, or defects in materials and joints. The method is based on the optical analysis of minute deformations in the component and enables fast, non-contact, and large-area inspection.
Versatile Applications for Modern Testing Tasks
A key focus of the measurement technology is the characterization of fiber-reinforced plastics for applications in the aerospace and automotive sectors. In addition, new methods for optical and non-contact leak testing are to be developed and investigated. The new system technology thus complements the SKZ’s existing portfolio of non-destructive testing methods with an innovative imaging measurement technique.
“With the system from TENTA VISION, we are expanding our capabilities to quickly and non-destructively visualize flaws and defects in complex components,” explains Luis Wachter, Group Leader for Non-Destructive Testing at SKZ. “The system offers great potential, particularly for the development of new testing concepts in the areas of fiber-reinforced composites, adhesive technology, and leak testing. At the same time, we are creating additional opportunities to support our industry partners in their development and quality assurance tasks.”
The collaboration with TENTA VISION is also set to be further expanded. “We look forward to this partnership and to jointly developing new applications and innovative solutions for industrial quality assurance,” Wachter added.
The new camera tomography system is now available for testing and development tasks at the SKZ.
