Companies in component manufacturing are increasingly confronted with higher or new requirements for surface quality. This often raises questions about the optimal process in manufacturing steps such as deburring. With the basic knowledge of deburring technology, fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG, organizer of DeburringEXPO, has published a 64-page brochure. It provides guidance with a practical overview of current technologies for deburring and surface finishing and can be downloaded free of charge from the trade fair's website.

Changed manufacturing technologies and materials, such as parts made from material combinations, pose challenges for companies in manufacturing steps like deburring and surface finishing. Additionally, there are increasingly higher demands on the quality and precision of components. For subsequent processes such as joining, coating, sealing, or assembling, optimally adapted solutions for deburring, edge rounding, and the production of precision surfaces are also critical to quality. To reliably and efficiently meet the specifications set in this area, questions such as "Which processes are suitable?", "What factors need to be considered?", "What are the strengths and limitations of various deburring technologies?", "What quality assurance options are available?" need to be answered. This is not an easy task for most companies, because unlike core manufacturing processes such as machining, forming, casting, forging, and sintering, deburring and surface finishing are usually not core competencies.

Brochure Basic Knowledge of Deburring Technology

The brochure "Basic Knowledge of Deburring Technology" proves to be a unique source of information and orientation, published by fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG, organizer of DeburringEXPO. The content of the brochure, developed together with experts from industry and research, enables companies to gain a practical overview of current technologies for deburring and surface treatment, as well as their application possibilities in different burr situations and materials. It introduces various processes such as mechanical deburring with tools, electrochemical metal processing (ECM), abrasive and non-abrasive media blasting, flow grinding (AFM), as well as laser and ultrasonic deburring in an understandable way. It also discusses factors influencing the choice of deburring process, strengths and limitations of the technologies, side effects that can occur during deburring processes, options for quality assurance, and much more. With this information and a clear matrix, the publication helps companies quickly and easily find the method suitable for their individual task. The brochure "Basic Knowledge of Deburring Technology" is available for free download on the DeburringEXPO website (www.deburring-expo.de).

DeburringEXPO – Leading Trade Fair for Deburring Technologies and Precision Surfaces

DeburringEXPO is the only trade fair in Europe dedicated exclusively to the topics of deburring, edge rounding, and the production of precision surfaces. It offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of technology, innovative developments, trends, processes and procedures, quality assurance, and services related to these manufacturing steps. With this clear focus, the trade fair is the first choice as an information and procurement platform for decision-makers from home and abroad. The exhibition program is complemented by the integrated three-day specialist forum with simultaneous (German <> English) translated presentations. The fifth edition of DeburringEXPO will take place from October 10 to 12, 2023 at the Karlsruhe trade fair grounds.
