In the production of parts, companies are confronted with ever-increasing or new requirements for surface quality. This often also raises questions about the optimal process for manufacturing steps such as deburring. With Basic Knowledge of Deburring Technology, fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG, organizer of DeburringEXPO, has published a 64-page brochure. It offers orientation with a practice-oriented overview of current technologies for deburring and surface finishing and can be downloaded free of charge from the website of the leading trade show.

Changing manufacturing technologies and materials, for example parts manufactured from combinations of materials, present companies with challenges in manufacturing steps such as deburring and surface finishing. In addition, 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, rounding edges and producing precision surfaces are also crucial to quality. In order to meet specifications set in this area in a stable manner and at the same time as efficiently and sustainably as possible, questions such as “Which processes are suitable for this?”, “Which influencing factors have to be taken into account?”, “What are the strengths and limitations of the various deburring technologies?”, “What are the quality assurance options?” have to be answered, among others.

This is not an easy task for most companies, because in contrast to the actual manufacturing processes such as machining, forming, primary forming, forging and sintering, deburring and surface finishing are usually not among the core competencies.

Basic knowledge of deburring technology brochure

The brochure “Basic knowledge of deburring technology” published by fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG, organizer of DeburringEexpo, proves to be a suitable source of information and orientation here. The contents of the brochure, which were developed together with experts from industry and research, provide companies with a practice-oriented overview of current technologies for deburring and machining surfaces as well as their possible applications for different burr situations and materials.

For this purpose, not only various processes such as mechanical deburring with tools, electrochemical metal machining (ECM), blasting with abrasive and non-abrasive media, flow grinding (AFM) as well as laser and ultrasonic deburring are presented in an understandable way. Factors influencing the selection of the deburring process, strengths and limitations of the technologies, side effects that can occur during deburring processes as well as possibilities for quality assurance and some more will also be discussed. With this information and a clear matrix, the publication helps companies to quickly and easily find the right method for their individual task. The brochure “Basic knowledge of deburring technology” is available for download free of charge on the DeburringExpo website.

Leading trade fair for deburring technologies and precision surfaces

DeburringExpo is the only trade show in Europe dedicated exclusively to deburring, edge rounding and the production of precision surfaces. It provides a complete overview of the current state of the art, innovative developments, trends, processes and procedures, quality assurance and services related to these manufacturing steps. The exhibition program will be complemented by the integrated, three-day specialist forum with simultaneous (German <> English) translated lectures. The fifth edition of DeburringExpo will be held at the Karlsruhe Exhibition Center from October 10-12, 2023.
