Manufacturing companies currently have to master major challenges in order to remain competitive. Production steps such as deburring, edge rounding, component cleaning and surface finishing are often pushed into the background - unjustifiably so. Because there is enormous potential for optimization in these production processes. As the only international information and procurement platform for these areas, DeburringExpo shows investment decision-makers, developers and designers, technical buyers, manufacturing and production managers ways and solutions to improve processes and make them more economical and resource-saving. "On the one hand, the numerous innovations and further developments presented by the exhibitors at the leading trade fair for deburring technologies and precision surfaces speak for this. In addition, the focus is on solutions to counteract the shortage of skilled workers," reports Hartmut Herdin, Managing Director of the private trade fair organizer fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG. "On the other hand, the supporting program with various theme parks and the specialist forum is also designed to offer companies impulses and suggestions for process optimization, cost reduction and increasing sustainability."
Innovations and further developments for all tasks at DeburringExpo
Whether market or technology leader, hidden champion, start-up or research institution - exhibitors traditionally use DeburringExpo to present innovations and further developments to the trade public for the first time. These include world firsts such as a self-learning deburring robot for geared parts and the first chamfer milling cutter with a V-shaped cutting edge, which prevents secondary burrs and subsequent deburring processes. New systems and methods for the fully automated deburring and cleaning of components in a single process - using both high-pressure water jets and ultrasound or dry CO2 granules - will also be presented. In the field of micromachining and the efficient and resource-saving production of application-specific surfaces, new and further developed products, technologies, processes and services also enable competitive optimization.
Theme parks on areas relevant to competition
Impetus to master current and future challenges is also provided by the three theme parks at this year's DeburringExpo. For example, the "Quality Assurance in the Deburring Process" area provides targeted information about different measuring methods and their strengths and limitations in order to demonstrate compliance with increasingly stringent specifications for deburring, edge rounding and surface finishing. The special show area "Automated Deburring" will present the latest possibilities for automating the polishing, grinding and deburring of components with robots, which will also help to counter the shortage of skilled workers. Whether before or after deburring, technical cleanliness in line with requirements is an essential prerequisite for the quality of subsequent machining processes and thus for high-quality components. Corresponding methods and processes are presented in the "Cleaning after deburring" theme park.
Bilingual expert forum - knowledge, trends and best practice applications
"Complementing the exhibitors' cross-technology, cross-material and cross-industry range of solutions, DeburringExpo ensures effective knowledge transfer with the integrated, three-day specialist forum," explains Hartmut Herdin. The program with a total of 23 simultaneously translated (German <> English) presentations by experts from industry and science is divided into five lecture blocks: "Mechanical Deburring", "Quality Assurance", "Automated Deburring with Industrial Robots", "Cleaning after Deburring" and "Non-mechanical Deburring". Presentations will focus on fundamentals, ways to optimize processes and costs, reports on best-practice applications and trends. Attendance is free for visitors to the leading trade show, as is a copy of the updated and expanded brochure "Basic Knowledge of Deburring Technology" in German and English.
