The ODT Forum Supplier Expo, Fort Wayne offers targeted conference sessions, exhibits and multiple networking opportunities. Take advantage of this opportunity to be involved in collaboration on key issues that affect the entire orthopedic manufacturing industry. 

AGENDA SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

To view speakers and specific topics, please visit the conference agenda.

Workshop: 
Effective Negotiation Skills for Orthopedic Device Manufacturers & Suppliers

From global outsourcing agreements to getting your team to meet its internal goals, device manufacturers have substantial pressure to perform. Each scenario brings a host of obstacles, including difficult personalities, company policies, complex laws, and the list goes on…

By elevating your negotiation skills you can:

  • Improve personal and working relationships
  • Negotiate better deals with suppliers, customers and partners – focus on purchasing agreements
  • Have a positive impact on your organization – both internally and externally



Workshop: 
Engineering Orthopedic Innovation: Keeping Your R&D and Product Development Ahead of the Curve

A host of factors conspire to slow down a good idea—technology, finances, personnel, among others. In this workshop, you'll find out how to keep your company's best technical minds working on next-generation orthopedics while maneuvering around some of today's innovation barriers.



Workshop: 
Streamlining the Supplier Quality Audit Process

As the practice of outsourcing has grown exponentially in the orthopedic device space, so has the need for managing the process. This session will provide tactics to:

  • Improve efficiency
  • Establish a best practices framework
  • Assist with the audit process



Panel Discussion:
Getting on the Same Page - Establishing a Standard OEM/Supplier Protocol - Status Report

OEMs and suppliers alike are frustrated by the lack of standardization of manufacturing processes. The time is now to create one set of requirements that orthopedic manufacturers follow. Building on the foundation set at ODT Forum, join industry stake holders in the ongoing effort on establishing industry best practices across business categories that you use while remaining compliant.

New Heating and Cooling Chamber Allows Use of Long Travel Extensomter

Posted by Nicholas Schaulsohn on Tue, Jun 14, 2011 @ 10:06 AM

At ADMET we pride ourselves in our ability to modify our standard systems to meet the specific requirements of every customer. Much of our product line has evolved in some way from a custom application. Today, we are excited to announce that single and dual column testing systems equipped heating and cooling chambers can now be paired with long-travel extensometers.

Until now, users testing specimens inside of heating and cooling chambers had been limited to clip-on extensometers. Although clip-on extensometers work well for most tensile tests, they are not ideal for high-elongation materials. Recently, a laboratory testing elastomers using an ADMET eXpert 7600 XLT with a long-travel extensometer saw the need to test their specimens under controlled environmental conditions. To meet their needs we extended the vertical testing space and viewing window, and shortened the depth of the F-280DT heating and cooling chamber to fit on the eXpert 7601 single column frame and surround our EX-900CT long-travel extensometer. The result was a compact, table-top testing system capable of accurately measuring specimen elongation under controlled temperature conditions.

ADMET Introduces eXpert 1900 Low Force Dynamic Fatigue Testing Systems

Posted by Debbi Cohen on Thu, Jun 9, 2011 @ 16:06 PM

We are announcing a new member to our family of table-top electromechanical fatigue testing systems. The eXpert 1900 series machines feature efficient voice-coil actuators that are ideal for low-force tension, compression, and flexure testing into the millions of cycles. Engineered to be clean, quiet, compact, and virtually maintenance free, eXpert 1900 series systems are perfect for any testing environment. Every eXpert 1900 is paired with MTESTQuattro, a software controller for dynamic fatigue testing that allows the user to easily create simple and complex waveforms.

ADMET Introduces eXpert 5600F Series Foam Testing Machines

Posted by Nicholas Schaulsohn on Mon, Jun 6, 2011 @ 11:06 AM

In our years of experience working with leaders in the foam industry, it has become clear that traditional universal testing machines are not flexible enough to be an all-in-one solution for foam testing. Engineered to satisfy the specific requirements of the foam testing industry, the ADMET eXpert 5600F series combines our proven 5600 series actuators with a wide-base frame designed specifically compressing large foam samples.

5600F series machines can quickly switch to a tension testing configuration, allowing you to perform tension and compression tests on virtually all types of foam samples on one system.  Systems equipped with MTESTQuattro, our most advanced pc-based testing controller, feature built-in test procedures and analysis calculations for popular testing standards such as ASTM D3574.

ADMET Introduces Short-Column eXpert 2600ST Series Testing Systems

Posted by Nicholas Schaulsohn on Fri, May 13, 2011 @ 10:05 AM

ADMET's is introducing a new member to its popular eXpert 2600 series dual column testing systems. Over our 21 years in business, we've realized that fitting a 6 foot tall universal testing machine in some office or lab spaces can be a challenge.  In addition, most biomedical, metal, ceramic, adhesive, and hard plastic testing applications do not require 48 inches of vertical crosshead travel. The ADMET eXpert 2600ST solves these problems by featuring shorter columns that allow it to fit almost anywhere.
