Precise Fault Detection in Plastics Processing

The SKZ Plastics Center presents modern solutions for high-precision detection of even the smallest defects in plastic products. Companies benefit from comprehensive support – from selection and adaptation to development and seamless integration of automated testing systems. Despite careful monitoring of process parameters during production – whether in injection molding, extrusion or additive manufacturing – undesirable quality deviations can occur. In many cases, manual rechecking remains the only way to identify rejects and avoid complaints.

However, selecting suitable testing systems is often complex: optical, tactile and radiometric measurement methods offer different strengths and weaknesses. This is where the SKZ Plastics Center offers comprehensive, manufacturer-independent support. As a renowned institute with many years of expertise in non-destructive testing and plastics technology, SKZ supports companies throughout the entire decision-making process – from feasibility studies and comparisons of different technologies to the selection and integration of automated testing technology, including solutions developed in-house at SKZ. Free preliminary investigations and customized development services are also available for specific requirements.

As a member of the Zuse Community – a network of independent, industry-oriented research institutions – SKZ is actively committed to innovation and knowledge exchange in order to strengthen the competitiveness of industry, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, in the long term.
