Industrial Terahertz and Millimeter Wave Measurement Systems: Development, Integration, and Turnkey Solutions

Modular TDS Platform for Coating Thickness Measurement, Non-Destructive Testing, and Material Characterization

Our TDS system platform offers a versatile basis for a wide range of measurement tasks, including:

• Coating thickness determination with micrometer resolution
• Non-destructive testing (NDT)
• Material characterization
• Radar transmission measurements

The systems can be used flexibly: as stand-alone benchtop devices in laboratories or technical centers, or integrated into industrial plants. The optimized 19-inch integration enables reliable and long-lasting operation in production-related or harsh industrial environments – stationary in assembly line production or flexible on robot systems.

FMCW Terahertz Technology for High-Resolution Inline Measurements and Non-Destructive Testing

In FMCW technology, we use compact radar modules with operating frequencies between 75 GHz and 500 GHz, depending on the application. By selecting the appropriate FMCW module, we optimize our systems specifically in terms of spatial resolution, measuring range, and penetration depth.

Using the appropriate combination of frequency, bandwidth, and antenna configuration, we precisely tailor each system to the respective testing task – from the detection of the finest structures to depth testing in non-conductive materials.

Our FMCW solutions are characterized by:

• Very high measurement rates of over 10 kHz – ideal for fast inline processes
• A compact and robust design
• High penetration depths in most dielectric materials
• excellent resolution – depending on the available bandwidth
• stable and reliable measurements even in the presence of vibrations or temperature fluctuations

This makes the systems particularly suitable for non-destructive testing (NDT), for example for detecting inhomogeneities, layer thickness variations, delaminations, or inclusions in composite materials, plastics, and other dielectric materials.

Turnkey Measurement and Testing Systems: Complete System Development and Integration

In addition to developing individual measurement systems, we also implement complete turnkey solutions, such as pipe testing systems, FMCW handheld systems, and other complex testing and production modules. We support our customers throughout the entire development process – from the initial idea to a fully integrated, industrial-grade system.

Our services include:

• Joint planning and requirements analysis
• System design and mechanical construction
• Development and construction of the complete measuring system
• Installation, integration, and commissioning on site
• CE conformity assessment
• Documentation and training

This provides companies with a technically and regulatory compliant complete system from a single source – efficiently implemented and optimally integrated into existing processes.

Industrial Interfaces and Software Solutions for Seamless System Integration

For integration into existing production and IT environments, we provide interfaces based on common industrial standards such as OPC UA or TCP/IP. This allows our systems to be easily connected to control systems, process chains, or databases.

We also develop the software and user interface ourselves. Our customized GUIs are:

• modern and functional in design
• clearly structured with hierarchical operating levels
• fully tailored to the user's workflow
• equipped with security and access features for different user roles

This allows us to combine technological performance with maximum user-friendliness and process reliability.
