Steinbichler Optotechnik is a worldwide leading supplier of optical measuring and sensor technology. Our systems are in operation at numerous well-known industrial companies mainly from the automotive, aerospace and tire industry and at acknowledged research institutes.
Having more than 20 years of experience in development and production of high-precision systems with appropriate software solutions, we offer innovative and effective solutions for a wide variety of applications:

• Shearography - NDT • Tire Testing • Surface Inspection • 3D Digitizing •

With the innovation strength and technical know-how of our company, we could contribute to many research projects funded by the European Community and the German government, leading to important technological developments. Many patents testify our leading role and capacity in the fields of optical metrology. In addition, high-value synergy effects evolve from strategic development and sales cooperation with competent partners from industry and research.


Shearography - NDT

The shearography technology is an interferometric test method with which damage or defects can be identified on components under load. This measuring technique even enables detection of deformations of only a few micrometers
in size. Already a relatively low component load can thus yield unambiguous measuring results, which are mandatory, particularly for NDT testing.
The ISIS shearography systems of Steinbichler Optotechnik are well known for an easy and fast NDT-testing of composite parts. Thus material defects, which were caused in-service and contribute to the weakening of the component, can be detected reliably.


Shearography - Tire Testing

The INTACT shearography tire test systems from Steinbichler Optotechnik have been developed for the non-destructive testing of new tires in R&D and quality control, as well as for the inspection of tire carcasses in the retreading industry. The technical basis of the systems is the phase
shearography system. With the phase shearography technique - a holographic measurement method which reliably detects material deformations in the range of microns - faulty areas can be localized clearly and reproducably.


Surface Inspection

The surface quality of a product - particularly in the automotive industry - constitutes an important criterion for the customer and is generally seen in close relation to the quality of the overall vehicle.
With the effective and high-precision surface inspection system ABIS II, the early and complete detection of unnoticed defects such as dents, bumps, sink marks etc. opens up new perspectives in the quality assurance.


3D Digitizing

For the 3D digitizing of freeform surfaces Steinbichler Optotechnik offers two innovative system solutions representing a new system generation for flexible and mobile use: the COMET® systems based on white light fringe projection, and the handheld laserscanner T-SCAN.
Due to the intelligent hardware and software options, both systems feature ultimate performance for digitizing tasks in various application areas, thus ensuring an exceptional level regarding user-friendliness and data quality.
