Dr. Schenk develops, produces and markets optical inspection and measurement solutions for automated quality assurance and production process monitoring. This includes high-quality, customizable handling solutions.
The systems are a key success factor in the making and converting of many materials, e.g. plastics, nonwovens, metal, structured surfaces, paper or glass, for a multitude of markets like display glass, automotive, packaging, medical, renewable energy, and many more.-
Throughout the world Dr. Schenk’s 300+ employees continue to set new standards for inspection. Over 18,000 m² of modern, cleanroom-capable production and testing facilities are available to research, development and production to apply cutting-edge optics and electronics to customer applications.-
Dr. Schenk offers extensive from-lab-to-fab knowledge. Customers benefit from our expertise in the translation of lab applications to large scale productions. Sophisticated handling solutions complete the one-stop-shopping experience.

Founded in 1992, SCANTECH was first to introduce low-energy X-ray transmission technology for the measurement of lightweight materials. Today, over 1,000 scanners are installed annually around the world for many types of production lines, including all types of extruded films, non- woven fibers, lamination and coatings processes, and metals.
SCANTECH continues to lead the world- wide market for X-ray, laser, infrared, and microwave online measurement and control systems, as well as visual inspection tools thanks to our focus on innovation. We are dedicated to expanding and perfecting our offer to include groundbreaking technology, incorporating laser triangulation, ergonomic UI, and automatic calibration.
SCANTECH is headquartered in France, with fully-owned subsidiaries in China (Guangzhou), the USA, Germany, Italy, South Korea, India, Malaysia, and Taiwan.

Our solutions.
Company PLEVA is developing and producing sensors and control systems since 1969.
Measuring:
exhaust humidity, application moisture, dye liquor pick-up, residual moisture, structure frequency, oxygen, fabric temperature and more…
Sustainability – Efficiency. Resource Savings. Durability.
Saving energy and CO2
Industrial processes are usually very energy-intensive. By setting the optimum process parameters using our sensors and control systems, a considerable amount of energy and thus CO2 can be saved.
First-Time-Right-Principle
Adjustments or even rejects are very cost-intensive and unnecessarily consume valuable resources. Our process control systems enable us to produce the desired end product directly.
Reduce chemical usage
Coating, dyeing and finishing processes often require valuable chemicals. These should therefore only be used in the necessary quantities in order to keep the environmental impact as low as possible. This makes recording and process optimization essential. In addition, the wastewater load can also be reduced in this way.
Product and industrial variety.
The PLEVA products are proved of value with great success worldwide under extremely hard circumstances from end users and the machinery industry.
Service worldwide.
We are represented in all important industrial countries and have service bases worldwide.
Applications & Grades
They are a base material in applications that do not require any formability beyond minimal bending and/or roll-forming.
- Large and Small Electric Motors
- Generators
- Ballasts
