Research areas

The Development Center X-ray Technology at Fraunhofer IIS is working on a huge variety of projects and technologies. Here you will find an overview of the main topics we focus on. These different areas are characterized by the fact that their development is not only forward-looking and innovative, but also highly relevant for society. We are making steady progress in these areas, paving the way for new breakthrough technologies.

Research areas at a glance

 

Phenotyping

We employ three-dimensional, nondestructive monitoring systems to survey plants in as comprehensive, accurate and above all harmless a way as possible.

 

X-ray imaging of energy storage devices

In order to meet the increased demand for storage solutions, we offer technological support for development and manufacturing processes.

 

Sensor-based sorting

Dual energy methods are used to identify and separate raw materials, especially in the recycling sector.

 

Production monitoring of cast parts using X-ray technology

We develop systems using X-ray technology (2D and computed tomography) for production monitoring.

 

Hydrogen Research

The imaging systems of the Fraunhofer EZRT can contribute to the development of technologies and processes as well as to production.

 

Cultural heritage research

We use X-ray computed tomography to create three-dimensional volume data sets depicting cultural heritage objects.

 

High-Speed X-ray

High-speed X-ray technology enables synchronous, time resolved acquisition of an X-ray image in combination with an optical scan.
