Conferences and Exhibitions

OKOndt Group exhibited at the most prominent event of the year for all the railway community–transport technology and systems exhibition InnoTrans took place on September 18-21, 2018 in Berlin.

The numbers will tell about the extent of the event.

About 150,000 visitors from 149 countries from all over the world had a possibility to see the railway transport industry innovations that were represented by over 3,000 experts and exhibitors from 60 countries.

The work at InnoTrans was sub-divided into five directions.

Non-destructive testing has become the integral part of the exhibition along with the other segments, such as:

  • railway technology;
  • railway infrastructure;
  • public transport;
  • interiors;
  • tunnel construction.

OKOndt Group and the products which were represented at the company stand contributed a lot to the Ukraine’s renommee in the field of development and production of the ultramodern NDT instruments. We demonstrated a range of high-end technology products for the rolling stock elements, rails testing, both during their production and in-service, to all the railway community.

OKOndt Group stand was equipped with the real rails that had specially made artificial defects in them. Thus, the specialists had a possibility to test the following equipment directly at the stand:

  • UDS2-77 ultrasonic single rail flaw detector;
  • UDS2-73 ultrasonic double rail flaw detector (trolley);
  • USR-1 tandem scanner for the weld joints testing.

The visitors could get acquainted with the other equipment through the video and other illustrative materials:

  • OKO-01 ultrasonic flaw detector for mechanised testing of wheelsets;
  • VD3-71 eddy current flaw detector for the rail car components.
  • KP-8 system for the automated testing of railcar wheelsets.

Besides, a wide variety of the ultrasonic and eddy current probes was demonstrated to our visitors.

The specialists, after having studied the technical specification, expressed vivid interest to the OKOndt Group developments. Notably, the flaw detectors were represented by their direct developers and engineers. So this enabled the possibility for a live discussion regarding the NDT issues between the technologists and railway representatives of those directions where the NDT is used welcomed at the location.

Having participated the InnoTrans for the first time, we reconfirmed the high-quality of our products. Targeting globally, we continue to do our best for solving the most challenging ideas.
