Free online meeting to discuss advancing precision in lubricant testing

Ducom Instruments will host an online User Meeting on July 23, 2025, focusing on its highly advanced Four Ball Tester (FBT-3) platform. The event is being staged for both current users and those exploring precision tribological analysis, it will offer a forum for technical exchange and application-based learning.

The four-ball test remains a benchmark in the analysis of lubricant performance, especially in assessing wear prevention, extreme pressure resistance, and frictional behaviour under controlled conditions. The FBT-3 platform enhances the reproducibility and throughput of this method through a suite of automation and proprietary technologies. 

The 2025 session will deliver a technical update on recent enhancements to the FBT-3 system, offering insights into workflow integration and instrument optimisation. Participants will have the opportunity to examine case studies detailing real-world deployment across industrial and research applications and engage directly with Ducom’s engineering team during a live Q&A session.

Researchers, lubrication engineers, and R&D specialists are invited to join the meeting and contribute to this knowledge-sharing initiative, which aims to advance collaboration and continuous improvement in tribological measurement.

The event will take place online from 14:30 to 16:30 CET on 23-July-2025, with registration open and free to attend.
