Not only clean, but also free of burrs and chips

Specialist Conference on Deburring and Cleaning, July 3 – 4, 2013, Stadthalle K3N Nüreningen, Small Hall

When it comes to component cleanliness, everyone thinks of cleaning. However, this is only one side of the coin. The second is deburring. Because only burr- and chip-free components ensure that cleanliness specifications can be met. Efficient methods for burr- and chip-free as well as clean components are presented at the 1st Expert Conference "Deburring and Cleaning". The event organized by fairXperts GmbH will take place on July 3 and 4, 2013, at the K3N in Nuremtingen.

Castings, machined workpieces, or reshaped components — chips and burrs are practically unavoidable in the manufacturing of metallic parts. To meet the today’s demanding and sometimes very strict cleanliness requirements in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical technology, hydraulics, fine mechanics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and many others, these "residues" from production must be removed, and completely and without exception. This ensures that they do not detach later and cause damage or system failures.

But what procedures are available for reliable deburring, and which is most suitable for each application? These questions are addressed at the 1st Expert Conference "Deburring and Cleaning", which takes place on July 3 and 4, 2013, at the K3N Culture and Conference Center in Nuremtingen, on the first day of the event. The introductory lecture will also cover aspects such as reducing and avoiding burrs. The following nine presentations will focus on various methods and their application possibilities. Trowalization is on the agenda as well as the latest developments in high-pressure deburring and flow grinding, as well as deburring with CO2 snow. Chemical, electrochemical, and thermal deburring are additional technologies that will be discussed at the conference. The presentations on plasma polishing for efficient deburring and part cleaning, as well as demagnetization as a preparation for industrial cleaning processes, create a perfect transition to the second day, which centers on industrial component and surface cleaning. Not only different procedures such as high-pressure and spray cleaning as well as ultrasonic cleaning will be discussed, but also cleaning adapted to various deburring methods. Participants will also gain insight into the crucial role that the cleaning container plays for effective and economical cleaning. Process optimization through control of cleaning media and measurement of component cleanliness — from the optimal use of measurement technology to its limits — are other areas where the conference will provide knowledge.

Alongside the conference, an accompanying exhibition will take place, where eleven companies will present solutions and new developments for deburring and cleaning. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to discuss individual questions at themed tables and exchange experiences on both days of the event after the presentations.

The conference is aimed at specialists and managers from production planning, manufacturing, and quality assurance.
