Technology Days

Why does an inspection produce a signal and when does it actually indicate a defect? FOERSTER Technology Days 2026 provide compact, technology-focused insights into key methods of non-destructive testing. Over three days, three core technologies will be in focus: eddy current testing, magnetic flux leakage testing and thermography. Each day offers a concise introduction to the physical principles, typical influencing factors and the reliable interpretation of signal indications in real inspection scenarios.

Understand inspection signals. Evaluate results with confidence.

Modern non-destructive testing (NDT) systems deliver highly precise measurement results and have become an essential part of industrial quality processes. A solid understanding of the underlying inspection methods helps users better interpret results, identify influencing factors in the inspection process and apply testing methods more effectively.

Three technologies – three focused technology days

The FOERSTER Technology Days 2026 provide exactly this technology-focused background knowledge. Over three days, three key inspection methods will be in focus: eddy current testing, magnetic flux leakage testing and thermography.

From signal to evaluation

You will learn how inspection signals are generated, which material-, geometry- and process-related factors influence their signal characteristics, and how signal indications can be reliably evaluated in real inspection scenarios. This understanding helps users interpret results with greater confidence, optimize inspection parameters and improve inspection processes.

Combining theory and practice

In the morning, experts from the FOERSTERcademy introduce the physical principles, typical application fields as well as relevant standards and norms for each technology. In the afternoon, these topics are deepened through practical demonstrations and applications using FOERSTER inspection systems from real industrial testing environments.

Who should attend?

Each technology day can be attended individually and is aimed at inspection engineers, quality managers and users who want to deepen their understanding of testing methods and further develop their inspection processes.

Drawing on decades of experience in developing industrial inspection technologies, FOERSTER offers a compact opportunity to build methodological knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of NDT technologies.
