high-speed production control. They support tasks from flatness inspection of wafers to coating thickness validation and surface texture analysis in automotive or aerospace components.
“ Surface quality is where physics meets perception,” says Frech.“ A single scratch or ripple can affect performance, durability, or aesthetics. Our optical metrology tools help manufacturers see and quantify these details, not just to reject parts, but to improve processes.”
Flexible access and sustainable thinking
Polytec’ s‘ measure what matters’ philosophy goes beyond technology. Recognizing that not every company can invest immediately in high-end systems, the firm developed PolyFlex, a flexible access model offering rental, leasing, or contract measurement options through programs like PolyRent, PolyLease, and PolyMeasure. This approach allows customers to use or test advanced systems without large upfront costs- an important enabler of continuous innovation.
“ Flexibility is critical in today’ s economy,” notes Frech.“ Through PolyFlex, customers can access the technology they need, when they need it, without compromising their budgets or timelines.”
Sustainability is another cornerstone of Polytec’ s philosophy. The company’ s measurement systems contribute to lighter, more efficient, and more durable products by identifying vibration issues early, optimizing designs, and minimizing material waste. Internally, Polytec has invested in solar power, electric mobility, and eco-friendly packaging, aligning its operations with the same responsibility it promotes among its customers.
