guests of oelchecK – the f Va‘s lubricants and tribology Working group

on tuesday, 29 June 2010, the german drive technology research association‘s (f Va) lubricants and tribology Working group met at oelchecK in Brannenburg.

OELCHECK was the host for a Bavarian evening with alphorns, whip cracking and the Brannenburg brass band.

The working group meets twice a year to consult on current projects and new research projects. Almost 80 members took up the invitation to Upper Bavaria. In the newly opened OELCHECK House, the Group discussed, among other matters, ongoing research projects and GETLUB, a conference on the subject of gearbox lubrication taking place in December 2010 in Würzburg.

Following a hard day‘s work, the party took the mountain railway up the nearby Wendelstein in glorious weather.

The following day, the OELCHECK laboratory once again took centre stage. Meeting attendees who had not had the chance to view it on the previous day took the opportunity of a tour of the pioneering laboratory in lubricant analysis.
