Fresh vitamins for the end of year!🍊 To get through the pre-Christmas period fit and healthy, we at FOERSTER provided our offices and our company restaurant Nubis with fresh mandarins in December. This tasty little source of vitamins is the perfect snack to recharge your batteries for the usually hectic days at the end of the year. We want to do something good for our team so that we can all end the year full of energy together. Enjoy! 😊

Strategy meeting 2024: Focus on growth! Greetings from our semi-annual strategy meeting, which brought our managers together in Munich this year. In addition to intensive discussions about our goals for the upcoming year, we had the opportunity to visit our new site in Garching. A nice highlight was the team dinner, during where we could align for the new goals ahead. The new location in Garching will play a central role in this. We are ready to attack with full energy and continue to grow - especially in a market environment that offers us exciting opportunities. Many thanks to everyone involved for the productive days and the great exchange!💪 Christoph Schanz, Michael Pfaller, Markus Biesinger, Volker Hiller, Timo Buck, Stefan Widmann, Ulrich Brändle

Magnetic insights that drive quality and performance Understanding magnetic properties is key to optimizing processes and ensuring the quality of sintered hard metals and powder-metallurgical components. The KOERZIMAT 1.097 MS by FOERSTER provides the precision and speed you need to stay ahead. Applications include: ✔Monitoring sintering levels in hard metal production ✔Determining tungsten content in cobalt ✔Measuring free iron, cobalt, and nickel content in powders and hard metals ✔Evaluating saturation polarization (Js) in soft magnetic components of magnetic circuits The KOERZIMAT 1.097 MS empowers you to optimize processes and ensure material quality with ease and precision. Let’s discuss how it can elevate your material testing capabilities!

Efficient, versatile, and intuitive – FOERSTER's TCM platform is designed to simplify mobile testing by unifying multiple eddy current testing systems in one device. Key features include: ✔️ Low-frequency (LF) testing with DEFECTOSCOP for deep-penetrating residual wall thickness measurements. ✔️ High-frequency (HF) testing with DEFECTOMETER for detecting the smallest cracks. ✔️ Conductivity measurement of non-ferromagnetic materials for comprehensive material analysis. The TCM platform's user-friendly touch interface and app-based task selection ensure seamless operation. Automatic probe recognition optimizes test settings for precise, reliable results. Discover how TCM can transform your testing process!

How do you ensure the highest precision in surface testing? When it comes to non-destructive testing of ferromagnetic steel bars, precision and reliability are everything. Outdated methods like magnetic powder testing and visual checks often fall short when it comes to documentation and reproducibility. That’s where the CIRCOFLUX testing system steps in, redefining surface inspection standards. What makes CIRCOFLUX the ultimate solution? ✔️ Wide diameter range: From 10 mm to 180 mm, CIRCOFLUX handles a variety of materials with ease. ✔️ Unmatched reliability: Backed by FOERSTER’s decades of expertise, it delivers consistent performance even under tough conditions. ✔️ Modular design: Ready to adapt to future industry demands and evolving sensitivity requirements. ✔️ Enhanced accuracy: Eliminates the guesswork of traditional methods, making inspections precise and reproducible. Using the magnetic flux leakage method in compliance with EN ISO 9443, CIRCOFLUX is the most sensitive method for detecting longitudinal, crack-like defects in hot-rolled ferromagnetic steel bars.

🌿 Focusing on Well-being and Resources Today, FOERSTER is hosting a Health Day in cooperation with Die Techniker, with a focus on employee health and preventive care. Through back checks, muscle tone measurements, and vital screenings, our team has the opportunity to better understand their health and gain practical advice. 🏋️♂️ Back Check With over 80% of Germans experiencing back pain, participants can test the strength of their back and abdominal muscles and receive guidance on balanced muscle training. 📏 EMG Muscle Tone Measurement Stress and lack of movement often lead to tension, particularly in the shoulder and neck area. The EMG measurement detects such tension and offers practical relaxation tips. 📋 Vital Screening Understanding vital values such as body fat percentage, blood pressure, and hydration helps maintain overall health. Today’s screening provides key insights along with recommendations for improvement or maintenance. Thank you to Die Techniker for the support in this initiative. #HealthDay #FOERSTER #PreventiveHealth
