nokra GmbH

nokra GmbH is a German-based startup founded in 1991, specializing in laser measuring systems for the inspection of geometric features. With laser sensors, they measure parameters such as flatness, profile, shape, position, length, thickness, and width without contact. Their applications include flatness measurement of sheets and plates, thickness measurement of strip materials, 3D measurement of hot forged parts, and the curvature of windshields in industries such as steel, aluminum, automotive supplier, plant engineering, and automotive glazing processing. As a spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) and for Production Technology (IPT) in Aachen, nokra has successfully implemented the laser triangulation method for the inline inspection of geometric measurement parameters in industrial applications for over 30 years. The company develops and produces laser sensors and automated inspection systems in-house, enabling control of manufacturing processes, auditing, and product qualification. Although specific information about their last investment and investors is not available, nokra GmbH has established itself as a leader in the laser measurement industry over the years.
