Changing demands within Automotive Testing – Webinar

The TestRig 2026 takes place on March 11–12, 2026, and is an interdisciplinary conference dedicated to the design and operation of modern test benches. It brings together experts from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, sensor technology, actuators, and control and measurement systems. The focus is on test benches used to analyze vibration behavior, fatigue strength, and the reliability of technical systems.

Q.bloxx is the ideal DAQ solution for widely distributed installations, electrical panels, and environmental enclosures. Q.bloxx measurement modules provide integrated signal conditioning and arithmetic functions, packaged in modular, DIN Rail mountable enclosures that easily snap together for quick system expansion.

After 9 years in construction, the stellarator (nuclear-fusion machine) of the Max Planck Institute in Greifswald generated plasma for the first time on December 10, 2015. The reactor had been gradually ramped up over the past 12 months. The event was given extensive coverage in the media. Gantner Instruments specially developed sensors for temperature and strain measurement for the project, which are otherwise unavailable on the market.

Given the increasing share of renewable energies in the electric energy system, flexibilities are key to match production and demand. Domestic heat pumps are expected and promoted to further increase as a key technology. Research is ongoing to utilize these heat pump systems and their thermal storage as flexibilities within the electrical energy system’s superordinate level.
