RECENDT - Research Center for Non-Destructive Testing GmbH

Partners from Industry as well as from Research are kindly invited to browse our competencies, technologies and equipment - and to get in contact with us, to identify the ressources to serve you best!

• Use our OCT systems to gain deeper insights in, e.g., polymer materials and plastics components.
  • OCT - Optical Coherence Tomography provides 3D-images of inner structures in IR-semi-transparent materials in Real-Time. Resolution is about one micrometer.
• Take equipment available in our IR- & Raman-Spectroscopy - Labs to discover chemical information from various materials and objects.
  • Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy can be applied in many variations to get information on chemical composition of substances (solid or liquid) or to characterize surfaces or to measure the thickness of films and coatings.
• Utilize our LUS-Setups to measure on metals and CFRP.
  • LUS - Laser-Ultrasound is a high-resolution and completely contact-free method of ultrsound testing. It can be applied to detect inner structures and defects in very tiny objects - or in metal parts measuring several meters. It can be applied on hot surfaces, e.g., during welding or casting. It can be used to find inner defects in CFRP-laminates or in adhesive bonds.
• Apply our THz-Technology to measure internal features in GFRP and plastics materials.
  • THz - Terahertz waves can be used to perform imaging of dielectric materials or to do spectroscopy on such. Unique features can be accessed, materials can be several centimeters thick, the resolution is in the range of 0.x millimeters.
• Perform joint research with our PA-research group.
  • PA - Photo-Acoustics utilizes laser-induced ultrasonic waves to perform tomography or microscopy in biomedical samples.

RECENDT provides various opportunities for cooperation:

• Experts advice for industrial partners and SMEs on problems in the field of NDT
• Testing Services and demonstration of available technology in our labs
• Feasibility studies demonstrating the applicability of NDT-technologies
• Development of NDT-solutions for industrial application at partners' sites
• Joint research in collaborative projects, e.g., H2020
