Optical tests

Optical testing is an indispensable tool in modern materials science and quality control, especially when it comes to plastics and plastic components. The measurement methods use electromagnetic waves, which generally have wavelengths in the visible light range, to analyze the properties of a material or component without physical contact. This makes optical testing a fast, efficient and, above all, non-destructive testing technique. Optical testing can be used to identify deviations in color, gloss and transparency as well as surface defects such as scratches, flaking, bubbles, inclusions and, in some cases, internal inhomogeneities with high precision.

Optical testing therefore has a very wide range of applications and can be used in almost all sectors of industry. For example, in many cases the color conformity of plastic parts is a decisive quality feature and ultimately ensures the satisfaction of the end consumer. In addition, gloss measurements also play an important role in assessing the aesthetic quality of high-quality surfaces, whereas the degree of transmission or haze is often critical for the consistent functionality of transparent plastic parts.
