EXPO21XX has opened a new online trade fair called QUALITY & TESTING 21XX to offer companies an outlet to display specified and quality controls services to customers' from the initial production processes, testing and servicing phases. The platform includes but is not limited to material analysis and testing, 3D measurement, image processing and camera systems in 41 online halls.
The idea behind the QUALITY & TESTING 21XX, according to Markus Baumgartner, CEO of EXPO21XX, is due to the high pace of technological innovation and ultimately the need for exhaustive quality control. "We want to establish a trade fair for quality assurance, where international leaders and providers of technologies come together with users from around the world to enable efficient technology transfer."
Hall 01 "Material Analysis and Testing" is listed for materials testing machines, which analyses acoustic sensors, pressure parts and structural rigor before they reach the market. Material analysis plays a decisive role in the process. For example, using the latest and most effective methods of measurement, a material analysis could determine which chemical and physical properties a work piece has and whether it meets the topography, roughness, hardness and chemical composition requirements.
3D measurement equipment is displayed in Hall 29. This optical measurement technology offers new opportunities for full-scale testing by using three-dimensional laser surface scanning to ease non-contact probing of surface anomalies that cannot be reliably measured manually. An example is the portable coordinate measuring machines with terrestrial laser scanners. They are used for example in mining to document structural changes and abrasions in the rock for detecting structural weaknesses as early as possible. Especially in mines breakdowns can be prevented by using these scanners.
