DeburringEXPO – cross-material and industry meeting point for deburring and polishing

More complex component geometries, increasing quality and precision requirements, and new materials are placing higher demands on manufacturing technologies across all industries. Processes such as deburring and polishing are also gaining increasing importance. With the DeburringEXPO, these quality-critical manufacturing steps now have their own platform. The trade fair for deburring and polishing technology will be held for the first time by fairXperts from October 13 to 15, 2015, at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre.

Regardless of whether parts are made of metal or plastic – virtually all manufacturing processes result in more or less pronounced burr formation. Since these unwanted "manufacturing leftovers" can impair both the further processing of the component and the quality and functionality of the product, as well as pose a risk of injury, they must be removed. Higher standards for deburring quality and process safety must always be met. At the same time, increasing cost pressures in global competition require that deburring be carried out more economically. "The manufacturing steps of deburring and polishing have gained enormous importance in recent years. They now represent a significant cost factor for companies," reports Hartmut Herdin, Managing Director of fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG.

A Platform for Deburring and Polishing Technology

To achieve the required quality economically, the use of technologies optimally tailored to the various burr types and chips is indispensable. Regardless, there has previously been no platform where users from all industries can comprehensively inform themselves about suitable technologies. This will change with the DeburringEXPO, a trade fair for deburring and polishing technology, which will be held for the first time from October 13 to 15, 2015, by fairXperts at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre. The versatility of these processes is evident from the exhibition portfolio of the DeburringEXPO. It includes systems, equipment, and tools for belt grinding, brushing, flow grinding (pressure jetting), vibratory finishing, shot blasting with solid and liquid media such as high-pressure water jets and CO2 blasting, shot peening, magnetic abrasive fine deburring, ultrasonic deburring, chemical bath deburring, electrochemical machining (ECM), electron beam deburring, thermal-chemical deburring (TCD), mechanical deburring, polishing laps, polishing hones, electrolytic polishing, plasma polishing, laser polishing, immersion and brush polishing, as well as measurement, testing, and analysis systems.

DeburringEXPO offers manufacturers and service providers in the deburring and polishing sectors a unique forum to specifically address users from the automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering, medical technology, fine mechanics, fluid technology, drive and transmission technology, metalworking, hydraulics, casting and die-casting industries, tool and mold making, and many other sectors about the various technologies and procedures. Conversely, visitors from various application industries will find concentrated and competent, cross-technology information to solve their specific deburring and polishing tasks at a single location.

The fact that fairXperts seems to have hit the nerve of the times with this specialized trade fair is evident from the great interest shown by companies from the deburring and polishing sectors. Renowned manufacturers and service providers have already announced their participation.

The program of the DeburringEXPO is rounded off by the integrated specialist forum, where visitors can gain information and knowledge about innovative deburring and polishing technologies, practical examples, and benchmark solutions, such as how to avoid cost of failure and how to achieve functional safety while maintaining high quality.
