(pressebox) (Würzburg, Germany, 22.05.2025) 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.

With this offering, SKZ positions itself as a reliable partner for companies that want to improve their manufacturing quality in a targeted manner and detect errors at an early stage.

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.
