Teratonics offers innovative solutions for contactless non-destructive testing and imaging inside dielectric materials and on coated metallic surfaces. Our non-hazardous technology reveals invisible defects and can simultaneously control the dimensions.
The ground-breaking innovation in terms of speed and stability allows exploiting the unique potential of ultrashort pulses of terahertz frequencies in industrial environments, also on large scale and moving objects.
Based on the patented technology and our
profound know how on its application, we offer:
► Instruments for product and process control as well as
for inspection with automated evaluation
► Laboratory services for industrial R&D, fatigue
tests, maintenance, end of life studies
Terahertz (THz) radiation is the last part of the
electromagnetic spectrum to be industrially exploited.
Sandwiched between microwaves and infrared, it has many
interesting features for industrial applications, for example:
▸ Penetration inside dielectric materials such as plastics, composites, paper, cardboard...
▸ Reflection by metals
▸ Non-ionising, i.e. no radiation protection is needed
Our patented pulsed THz technology and our proprietary software enable imaging and measurements within the typical cycle time of many industries, even in the presence of environmental fluctuations such as vibrations and air flows.
▸ Single-shot pulsed terahertz non-destructive evaluation systems for in-line production control and automated inspection.

Teratonics has been selected by an
industrial consortium to set up a control procedure for 100
percent online inspection of particularly light and high
performance plastic components. Our technology is the only one
retained in the last project step, it was chosen out of
different non-destructive testing methods such as ultrasound
approaches, acousto-optics and other THz approaches via test
measurements.
