The general trend towards quality management, quality assurance, and certification of compliance with quality standards has brought about an upsurge in measuring and testing technologies. These fields are changing and developing dynamically, not least due to innovations in manufacturing technology. These new manufacturing methods and processes cannot be implemented effectively without new testing methods.
This year’s trade fair will be held at Zwick in Ulm (Germany) on 16th – 19th October 2006. Exhibiting their latest range of measuring and testing systems will be the members of the Zwick Roell Group and 25 partner companies, who are among the leading suppliers of testing machines and systems worldwide.
As in the last years, centres have been set up dedicated to various fields of testing and measurement. Standard materials testing applications will be prominently featured including metal, plastics, automotive applications, building materials and a new centre focussed on the medical industry.
Product-related stands have been set up for interesting application areas such as the Service Centre, to illustrate their growing significance in the testing machine market. Naturally, with cost effectiveness in mind, machine modernisations and overhaul programmes are a key issue, and exhibitors will demonstrate the benefit of enhancing the performance of existing equipment.
The test software testXpert II is the thread running thought the entire testing technology of Zwick Roell, due to its intelligent adaption to all testing applications, regardless of whether it is a static or dynamic testing system. testXpert will be demonstrated on all exhibits and in a special competence centre.
The trade fair also includes the versatile possibilities of materials testing in a new and special Centre for Interesting Applications. A number of exhibits will demonstrate how Zwick helps to improve daily lifestyle. (Testing in everyday-life)
Attractive events and activities, demonstrating that there is a strong connection between theory and practice, round off the program. Presentations and discussion forums will be held in English and in German with well-known experts. Also, Zwick Roell experts will provide the latest information on the trends and developments in their particular fields.
