About TENTA VISION
TENTA VISION GmbH, based in Trier, develops and manufactures inspection systems based on camera tomography, a non-destructive testing method built on laser speckle interferometry. The technology detects external and internal defects such as disbonding, kissing bonds, air inclusions, delaminations, shrinkage cavities, inclusions and cracks in real time and without contact – no X-ray radiation required, up to 30 mm deep in non-metals, with automated defect detection from 150 µm diameter. The portfolio comprises three levels of automation: a Mobile System for on-site inspections, a Lab System for small series, parameter studies and feasibility analyses, and an In-Line System for 100 % inspection with MES/database integration. Hardware and software are developed and manufactured in-house. Customers come from the automotive, aerospace, electronics, mechanical engineering, consumer goods and medical technology industries. In addition to the systems, the company offers feasibility analyses, system design, installation, calibration, training as well as trial days for prototypes.

History
- 2024
inVISION Top Innovation 2024 award
- 2025
In the EFRE/RLP-funded innovation project (INNOTOP), camera tomography for adhesive applications was further developed and industrially validated in an inspection cell on acrylic foam adhesive tapes for automotive spoilers (< 5 seconds per part)
