Laboratory workshop for anodizers 17/18 September in Schwäbisch Gmünd
Following last year's premiere, the VOA is once again organizing its practical laboratory workshop in cooperation with the fem Forschungsinstitut. The event is aimed at employees who have been working in this field for several years and would like to deepen their existing knowledge of laboratory and measurement technology in the anodizing process. Participants from related departments such as quality assurance, production and application technology are also welcome to gain a more comprehensive insight into laboratory activities. The workshop will focus on the pre-treatment and anodization process, the dyeing process and the compaction process. Practical exercises and the opportunity to bring in their own problems, error patterns or samples will help participants to improve their work in laboratory and measurement technology in the anodizing process.

The basic idea of the seminar: Know the basics of the individual work steps, detect and rectify faults and operate fault management to ensure the optimum quality of surface-finished products. The event will also provide an insight into the specifications of the international quality mark QUALANOD (Association for Quality Control in the Anodizing Industry). Friedhelm U.
