Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPM

We analyze surfaces and 3D structures of components quickly and with micrometer precision, thus enabling 100 percent quality control in the production line.

We develop customized laser scanners, camera and lighting systems that capture the geometry and position of individual infrastructure objects or large structures quickly and precisely, primarily from mobile platforms. Our measurment solutions cover the entire 3D data process chain: from robust systems to AI-based data analysis.

We develop and manufacture measurement systems for gas and liquid analysis which feature high precision and reliability even under extreme conditions. The scope ranges from laser spectrometers for exhaust gas analysis to energy-efficient gas sensor for  food quality monitoring.

We develop laser light sources with customized wavelengths for various applications. Our services range from customer-specific nonlinear optical crystals for frequency conversion to the production-ready prototype development of optical parametric oscillators for OEM laser manufacturers.
